You Are Qualified

We are qualified by the most high to exist, since it is he who made us. He made us with love and blessed us and anointed us for such a time as this.

Not only are we chosen for the good things that happen to us but also the bad. When I speak about "bad" things I mean things we do not want to experience (e.g Loss of a loved one, pain). I want us to realize that some things will happen whether or not we like them, but what we can do is to accept reality as is...if we are to grow.

If today is a sunny day surely there will come a rainy day.The good news is we are qualified for all seasons by God. I want to speak about how we were taught that "bad" things come from the devil when in fact some parts of the process require that the potter puts the pot through the furnace, to make it stronger. Nobody likes pressure but we forget that diamonds go through that very same process of being under pressure but they come out "stronger". 

We are qualified for the process, not only the good times. The moment you were born in this physical world, you automatically qualified for death. What seems "good" to us like birth days is accompanied by the promise of a death day, whether we like it or not. We are not only chosen to exist in this world but we are also chosen to one day leave this world behind. 

In order to be found one has to be lost, but very few of us can admit that we are lost because of insecurities and fear of judgment. We do not realize that being lost and being found go hand in hand, you cannot have one without the other. It simply is a 2 for 1 special.. Being lost in this context means not knowing where to go and what to do or who to speak to. Many of us are lost but we pretend we know where we are going so that we seem like champions who have it all figured out. Admitting we are lost requires that we drop the "Superman" suit and realize that being lost is good because it automatically qualifies us for being found . 

My whole point is to re-affirm the truth that we are indeed chosen, not only to shine but also to be put under pressure. Just like diamonds have to endure the pressure before they can shine. The process cannot be skipped and we cannot only take what feels good to us only but also what feels unbearable. You are chosen to Win but you are also chosen to Lose, you cannot have one without the other, just like you cannot have light without darkness. 

You are qualified for everything you go through even though you may not feel like it. God did not make a mistake by bringing you here, he knew very well everything that we would go through and yet he chose us. It would be wrong to then assume that he would bring you here for things you didn't have the potential to deal with or go through. 

Qualification can be defined as a quality or accomplishment that makes someone suitable for a particular job or Activity. You have the necessary quality for every loss and every victory, every division and every multiplication. We must begin to live in a place where we are aware of our divine Qualification. This way we will realize that whatever we will face or deal with, we are chosen for. 

You are chosen for this time. No mistakes were made, this is ecxatly where you should be because there is indeed reason. If we are qualified by God, who and what can we fear? The Most High who is all knowing, knows you personally. This should bring you joy and Contentment for you are equipped and chosen and his love, grace and provision is sufficient for us all.

Imagine You Are A Success

Psychology says that we are controlled by what we think, believe or imagine more than any other factor. Our beliefs control everything we do, If we believed (or rather imagined) that wearing clothes was useless, we would all be walking around naked. It is very imperative that we understand that we control our lives through the type of thoughts we choose to hold in our minds. Take the person who jumps in front of a speeding car on the highway(commits suicide), in their mind their action is justified and probably seen as necessary hence it is carried out. Now that i have laid my foundation... In his book Psychocybernetics, Maxwell Maltz says "Realizing that our actions, feelings and behavior are the e result of our own images and beliefs gives us the lever that psychology has always needed for changing personality.Mental pictures offer us an opportunity to "practice" new traits and attitudes, which otherwise we could not do.  This is possible because again—your nervous sy...

The Unwritten Rules of Africa: Navigating a Complex Identity (Economics part 1)

The economic life of the African continent is shaped by a complex mix of historical events and current realities. To truly understand it, we must examine the deep-rooted challenges and psychological patterns that emerged from centuries of outside control and resource extraction. A History of Economic Struggle The rule of economic struggle is deeply rooted in a colonial history of dependency. Foreign powers didn't just come to trade; they methodically took apart existing African economies. They dismissed local practices as "outdated" and forced new systems upon the people. This historical redirection of resources created a fundamental weakness, turning the continent into a mere supplier of raw materials. All the infrastructure they built, like railways and ports, was primarily designed to transport these resources from inland to the coast for export. This framework created an economic gap and a dependency that has continued long after African nations gained their independe...

A Transformed Mind

Many of us are rigid in thought hence we are stagnant in life. The good news is that we have the ability to change our minds - our thought patterns (perceptions, beliefs..) One of my prayers these days is "God transform my mind". That is because i am well aware that if my mind is transformed, my life will be transformed. Our thoughts are often revealed in our actions. I am writing this right now because an idea came into my mind and i thought it was a great idea to express my revelation about my life in this manner. The action is preceded by thought. The word transformation is a compound word - transition & form or "formation". A transition takes time so it is imperative that we are patient and recognize that it will take time for our minds to be transformed. Transformation is a process often filled with pain and fear. That does not mean we must not persue change but bear in mind that it will be challenging.  Behaviors and/or habits lead to results but we often ...
