Alright, you are probably wondering where I’ve been all this while.
I have been trying to conduit my inner zen to write to you but it has been futile. Despite being very busy trying to navigate a new phase of my life, I have been intermittently sharing content on Telegram.
Finding your feet in a new discipline or environment can be a headache and requires being careful. What I didn’t do well was while trying to find my right foot, I started losing my left foot.
I left other things to suffer. My business, my personal life, and other aspects like writing this letter to you.
In life, we must always find ways to balance the new things so they don’t destroy the old we built. Nothing should destroy the old, but rather build on it to make it better and more excellent.
“And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”
We must preserve both.
Hi Friend,
I trust you’ve been doing graciously well since I last wrote to you. I would love to hear from you. You can simply reply to this mail with how the year has been for you so far.
I am eager and itchy to hear from you.
We were meant to commence a new series called Power.
I have always wondered what people considered as having power. Just like we discussed in the previous letters on your main purpose in life. You have to realize to achieve that main purpose you need some sort of power.
The power you need can be spiritual, physical, social and the rest.
I believe everyone needs all. I know this life is spiritual, it has nothing to do with my background but my experientially coming to know of life being spiritual. I have seen things and tampered with some waters.
It scares me when I look back to how I came to know God right from an early age. How I came to grow in him through my days here. Of course, I have sinned and done things worthy of a father disowning a child. But, just like the prodigal son, he welcomes me with open arms every time. He then prepares a large feast for me.
In this life, you must not walk blindly. Forget about going to hell for now. For you to excel and live a seamless life on earth, you must believe in something of a higher force. You must have a God.
What God does is give you the power to win and stand tall. There are levels of power in all realms – Spiritual, Physical, Social, Political and all.
You become powerful by rising to that level or by association.
You have to choose who you associate with. You can’t associate with a god of lesser power and expect other powerful gods not to deal with you.
I get it. You still don’t believe life is spiritual.
I pray you see evidence tonight.
For those who believe in the spiritual, you must learn to rise and associate with the Almighty God. I believe that’s Jesus for me. I don’t know yours. But, mine has been winning my battles for me.
How do you associate with a Super Power?
- By believing in God
- By knowing his purpose for you.
- By pursuing that purpose.
How do you rise in Spiritual Power?
- By Praying Consistently
- By Fasting Consistently
- By Giving Alms
I know there are a lot of things out there calling themselves the source of the ultimate power. Your choice will determine where your power lies.
We can’t live life without this. You might say you don’t belong to any. One thing we need to realize is, we are always choosing by not making a choice.
You say you don’t believe in any deity. There is a deity you believe in – it might be atheism or it might be the one your parents dedicated you to.
It might be the one you made a contract with without even knowing it.
While we trail the path of Spiritual powers, we must also be careful not to have intercourse with other dark powers. Just like you need a map to guide you on Earth, you need a guide on the other realm.
That’s why we have pastors, imams and herbalists all around us, they serve as navigators in that realm. They have lived their lives accessing that realm and understanding it. They ate and drank with other spirit beings.
Your thoughts and intentions might be pure but the spirits your navigator drinks with might not be of light. You not knowing what spirit they do business with doesn’t matter, you get initiated just by seeking counsel from your imam or pastors and following what they tell you to do.
That brings me to this part – As much as a baby needs his father and mother when the child grows up he must navigate life himself.
There is no day that you don’t need your parents but you get to a point in life where you have to know things for yourself.
It’s the same for the spiritual realm, you can start by seeking navigators to the other realm. (through association) but you must strive to grow and rise to the point where you navigate yourself.
You must ensure while you associate or navigate, you deal with Light only.
One way you can be sure you dealing with the right Spirit is through the Word of God. For me, that’s the Holy Bible. By God’s grace, I have read and studied it front to back page for over 3 times.
Knowing the word of God helps you discern spirits and the right thing to do when sailing in the spiritual realm.
Today’s letter might seem like a lot. But, you have to take your time to read through it again and again. Till you can pick what to work on.
I will be writing to you again.
Fun Fact: I gave myself one hour to write this on the spot today – 4th May 2024 – this is the same day I am sending this to you.
I might be doing this often. So, pardon any errors in my writings, just ensure you get the message.
Talk soon, Friend.
Action Steps
