MY STORY
Often times we take the earth as a physical environment
dominated by physical laws and things, but have we considered the law of gravity
or the speed of light or the speed force or the cosmos. If we really take our
time to study these mysteries, we would be convinced that the planets as well
as the universe are controlled by supernatural phenomena that we are yet to comprehend.
Man has been in continual search for the solution to the ever unending
conflicts and problems of the human society. Also, I have come to understand
that nothing ever seems to happen perfectly according to the ways that we’ve
planned them as there is always a modification to every event. A bride is never
to think of a perfect wedding because something would still erupt that would
counter her wish. The question we would ponder over is why? The reason is quite
simple; it is because we are not the only ones who determine what happens on
earth so why should we be selfish with our desires when there are other forces exerting
so much energy to keep the world at balance.
As a child, I often wondered in the ignorance of my thoughts
why no matter how much analysis I did over something, I wasn’t just perfect
enough to see a little breach. As a Christian from Christian home, the
imperfection of my human body led me into what we termed ‘sin’ or so I thought
as you also would blindly agree with me. However, I have come to realise that
the body wasn’t what led me into sin. Some supernatural forces had manipulated
events so that certain things may occur so that I become guilty before God which
would enable them have access to manipulate my life for their good (For it is not against flesh we have to
struggle with, but against the sovereignties and the powers who originate the
darkness in this world… Eph 6:12-13). The human weakness is not that we cannot
co-exist with one another in perfect love but the means which is the only way
we could achieve the latter is ignored. Our origination has been ignored. There
is a connection between the physical and the supernatural but that connection
is only utilised by those who are constantly aware of it. The body is a vessel
meant to accommodate our soul and our Originator’s Spirit. Yet we ignore the
spiritual part of our lives and concentrate on the physical part not allowing
the connection flow through both. That is why man would continue to e in chaos because
we have chosen forget our origin.
However, there is a solution. The freedom from sin and the
peaceful, fair environment we desire to possess can only e gotten when we are aware
that we are not battling with the flesh so we do not have to punish it. it is
the vessel God has given us to live happily on earth and so should be made presentable
to God when we return to him. We should put more focus on the real enemy- the
darkness and fight against it daily with the Word of God. Daily reading of His word would unconsciously
and slowly cause a change in the life of a human being because we are also
spiritual creatures of light. If every one becomes a faithful Christian, we won’t
need a constitution or peace code to live in peace. Let’s stop searching for
answers in the physical and turn to the spiritual for there lies our
destination. This is my story which I wrote in style. I thought I was brilliant
searching for a means to my salvation yet I fell more than many. I searched
wrongly and I fought wrongly. I am not a saint but I am a sinner who wishes his
life could start again. I pray God corrects it soon enough so that His divine
purpose for me be achieved. Christianity would only be a lifestyle when we learn
to live as spirits and not bodies.
Your write-up is really commendable and you revealed some basic spiritual truths eg our ORIGIN, the composition of man,however you're not a sinner because you sinned; a sinner is one who hasn't accepted the lordship of Jesus Christ in his/her life. Once you're born again, and though you "sin" many times, what you require is FORGIVENESS and not REMISSION
ReplyDeleteYou don't have to wait on God to change a man because you will just be waiting for eternity, it's our responsibility to yield ourselves, I mean our spirits, to the authority of God's Word and ministry of the Holy Spirit.
Of a truth, life is spiritual, and the spiritual gave birth to the physical. And the spiritual controls the physical. Man is a spirit , has a soul (mind , thoughts, reason, emotions, feelings) but lives in a body (a covering , his house).
Thus, the real man is not his body but his spirit (inner man),and his mind (seat of his soul) is the door way to his spirit .
