Who Dictates your happiness?

-

Well as much as many people are in search for freedom, the actual desire is change of dictator.


The world is full of so many deities that someone has to belong to one of them.

There is no one who is actually free, every deity advertises itself and has a team out there spreading their gospels to seduce men into their deities.

Every kingdom has its own definition of freedom and captivity, Satan mentioned about the gods knowing good and evil so basing on the knowledge of good and evil, every god has a so called good side and a bad side, they always have a face that looks good and that which we know as bad.

Every deity presents itself as good and beneficial, most of them do not mention the bad side. Anyone who joins a cult gets to know of the bad side when it is to late.

So is the same with life, people enjoy themselves in sin in the name of liberty or freedom but in the end the untold consequences of their recklessness begin to manifest, then in their old age they begin to regret why they did not live a holy life.

As I mentioned in the beginning, every deity is a dictator, it has rules and regulations, principles, laws that govern it and they also have teams of loyal servants and they are out in the world preaching their gospels and teaching their doctrines.

They are very quick to to demoralize anyone who doesn't follow their traditions. This is worse when ones parents have followed that deity that was passed on by their parents and parent's parents. 

Any attempt to challenge them can result into persecution and heavy insults, this is because they are under a dictatorship government they don't know and can't see but follow blindly.

There are achievements that give people joy in this world. This is because that was the standard set by their gods, and when you don't achieve their achievements you are regarded a failure.

Your happiness should not be controlled by another deity, your joy should be dictated by the Lord. 

Jesus said that His yoke is is lighter. The world has enticing offers that seduce people into their heavy yoke but Jesus yoke is light.

The world is full of deception, no other deity is as open as the one of the Almighty God Yahweh. 
The Kingdom of heaven clearly points out the punishments for wrong doing and the benefits of righteousness, the other dirties hide the consequences of joining them and only tell you the good looking part.

Slowly by slowly these other deities have spread their wicked cultures among the believers and the poor believers think that is the way to be happy yet there is nothing sweeter than the presence of God.

Many believers today don't even know what the presence of God is. Many assume it is the good feeling when someone sings with a nice voice. This same feeling can be gotten from soul music, jazz and love songs which has nothing to do with the gospel.

This is why many go for a worship session and feel good but come back and the Spirit of the Lord has not ministered to them or their situations, this is because He was not invited in the first place. There was nice soothing and relaxing music which helped clear the anxieties of people but the situations have not changed.

True happiness is experienced in the presence of God where there is genuine conviction of sin(not condemnation) one repents of their sins without feeling condemned and they are happy and glad to do so. One experience freedom from their captivity and worries, and situations are actually dealt with.

Righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost, that is the kingdom of God. God's dominion is characterized by those factors available. That is why one of the easiest detectors of the presence of God is one is glad to repent just like people were eager to repent when John the Baptist began to baptize.

The other is there genuine peace, peace is not absence of conflict but stability even when there is conflict, peace doesn't mean quiet but stability amidst the noise. 

Then there is joy, genuine joy like how David was so joyful and danced until the robes were off. Usually those who are under different kingdoms are offended when people are joyful in the presence of God. 

The best dictatorship government to subscribe to is the kingdom of heaven, because this government has everything in the light while others have consequences hidden in their darkness.

Dead sea syndrome

-
 I once stumbled on an article that described why the dead sea in the middle east is salty and void of life. I was amazed to find out that it’s because it receives a lot of water from the Euphrates river but will never give away what it receives. This sadly is a picture of a child of God who constantly wants to receive a lot but will never take the extra step of sharing or giving what he has received. I was amazed when I glanced upon a scripture revealing that every time we do good and share, God receives it as a well pleasing sacrifice. Heb 13:16  But go on doing good and giving to others, because God is well-pleased with such offerings.   Often times we condemn ourselves or believe the lie that we are not good enough to be a blessing. However, I am reminded of the power of Jesus’ cleansing blood that washes away sin that is confessed (1John1:9) and Paul’s revelation in Romans, Rom 8:1  There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who wa...

GRUMBLE VS GRATITUDE

-
 I recently had a conversation with a friend of mine regarding the half empty- half full glass scenario. One would realize that the individual most likely to complain and fall into pessimism, would be the one who sees it as half empty. Why you would ask? Because his focus is on what is missing rather than that which exists. On the other hand, the one who sees it as half full, has an acknowledgement of something present in the glass. This is a simple but basic foundation of viewpoints that either catapult an individual into gratitude or complaining. Notice that Jesus gave thanks before the miracle of multiplying bread. John 6:11-12 Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks to God, and distributed them to the people. Afterward he did the same with the fish. And they all ate as much as they wanted. After everyone was full, Jesus told his disciples, "Now gather the leftovers, so that nothing is wasted." And before raising Lazarus from the dead John 11:41-44 So they ...
