The Ultimate Antidote

Although the world we live in has many issues, I think the Bible contains all the solutions we need.

First of all, I want to emphasise that the world would be extremely different from how it is today if sin had not entered the hearts of men.I firmly believe—I think everyone does, even if they don't want to express it—that if we followed all of Yaweh's laws, everything would be different.

As a Christian, I think that God, the Alpha and Omega, is the one who created the world.Every manufacturer has the design specifications for their creations. In this usage, "the world" refers to every person, piece of soil, and resource on the planet.

The concepts found throughout the Bible provide solutions for all of the problems we might encounter in this life.What is regrettable is that many of us do not know the Bible or, if we do, we do not obey God's commands.

Hosea 4:6

King James Version

6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

For instance Proverbs 21:20 reads as follows 

20 The wise store up choice food and olive oil, but fools gulp theirs down.

However, many of us are clearly bad stewards because we struggle to make ends meet while despising the wealthy.

The absolute truth that we reject in favour of believing other people's perspectives and our false emotions is the Word of God.The vast bulk of our frustration comes from ignoring or failing to believe God's word.

God calls us to be people of faith, and hearing and hearing the word of God are the beginnings of faith.We must enhance our word intake if our faith seems to be waning.Many of us are imprisoned by false beliefs, but today I want to remind you that the only thing that can liberate you is the truth.The only truth is that which is in the Holy book .

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 ...
