A Divinely Orchestrated Encounter

According to what you read in Ephesians 1:4-6, you were "chosen" by God before the universe was made or created.This indicates that before the earth existed, you existed in the spiritual realm.

In the text I am referring to above, the word "choose" is translated as "eklegomai," which means "to pick out, choose out a person or thing" in Greek.Because you are "pre-destined," God made a decision about you before you ever existed in the physical world, and that decision is carried out in the physical realm every day of your life.

If you really get what this revelational truth means for you, it should fill you with joy and serenity.Nothing in this universe just happens because God is a master planner and all of his creation follows a predetermined plan.

Many of us experience doubts about whether God truly has a purpose for our lives, which leads to feelings of depression and anger, bitterness, and loss of faith.I want you to know that none of the interactions you have had have happened by accident.Because he is the beginning and the end, all-knowing, and all-powerful, God is not random or haphazard.

Before there is a visible manifestation, you already embody your true nature.Although David was a king before he was even born, our reliance on sensory experience to analyse information and draw judgements makes it appear otherwise.David's physical kingship was partly influenced by his fight with Goliath and many other divinely orchestrated moments, but in realm of the Godhead, David had already attained kinghood before he was even born.Jesus was born in a manger not in a palace but he was already the King of all Kings even though it did not seem so in the Physical realm.You are already a living testament to the perfect will of the living God.

Every interaction you have is intended to happen, so rather than whining and worrying, I would advise you to trust and have faith that God has a plan that is greater than anything you could have imagined.This is not to say that you should give up and lack ambition for better things; rather, it is to say that we ought to incorporate our ambition with patience and faith.

David's journey to the throne was paved with numerous encounters.The phrase "It is the rubble of your past that is going to become the foundation of your future" from Pastor Michael Phillips aptly captures what I am attempting to convey.Never undervalue experience, but keep in mind that it is essential to your journey with God.The billions of interactions you have had contain the fundamental elements of your mindset and attitude.Your delight and all of the suffering you have gone through are combined to take you to a better place.

That being said, God has prepared things for people who love him, as it is written: "What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived."-1 Corinthians 2:9

Keep loving God and have faith that he has planned the unthinkable for you.He is considering you!

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 ...
