This whole month, I've been thinking about the concept of spiritual blindness....


And reflecting on several things around it...
How dangerous it is to walk in spiritual blindness.....

One of the biggest warnings Apostle Paul gave was on the dangers of walking in spiritual blindness....

1 Corinthians 9:26, NIV: "Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air."

Getting to know what is going on in the spiritual realm before setting off for physical activities should be one of the most important things.......
What happens in the spiritual realm affects what happens in the physical... 

Prayer, fasting and meditation on the Word of God are some of the most important things, one should do before embarking on anything....

This is one concept that was deeply ingrained in the African society before the Word of God came. 

In my journeys to Lake Turkana looking for fish - around 2008 and 2009,  I got to learn how deep some of the spiritual issues were... I interacted with several communities.... And discovered that in almost all, there was a clan of prophets and seers.... Right from the Sebei, the Pokot, the Turkana, the Merile and Borana...
I was amazed at how much power they had over affairs. At times you could not go to the lake for five days, waiting for directions from the seers...

Even among the Luos, many do not know why in every corner of Luo Nyanza, there are people from Alego... This is because many of the seers were from Alego, and before going to war  or capturing territory, the warriors had to wait for direction from the seers....

In short, what you see on the physical is just a  manifestation of what is going on in the spiritual realm......

Those who reign and succeed in life know this secret.... Those who fail or live average lives of struggling do not know this.....it's that simple...

The worst tragedy in life is to walk Fwaaa, shagalabagala......
That is why every morning,  i wake up early to seek out the direction from God. I wake up to ask for guidance, protection and provision....

Many times,  I've faced situations that look impossible... I have faced debts that look insurmountable... I've seen family crises that look devastating....

But as long as the I get the confirmation that it is well,  I usually sleep like a baby... And smile through storms...... Because I know the truth... And the storms, delays,  and waves can't shake my faith....

If you are facing a storm... Ask God to open your eyes.     Walk through the waves with confidence.. Knowing that He is faithful that promised....

Take care of yourself__"The first wealth is health".

By Strive Masiyiwa  A few weeks ago I went to the doctor. I will tell you what he said about my health at the end, but first read this: Twenty years ago, I arranged to meet a well-known British international businessman who invested a lot in Africa at the time. We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...

Freedom: The One Thing Gaddafi Could Not Give — And the One Thing No Government Can Take Away

For years, the collapse of Libya under Muammar Gaddafi puzzled many observers across Africa and the world. How could a country with high living standards, generous state programs, and a strong economy turn so swiftly against a leader who appeared to have delivered materially for his people? This question is not just about Libya. It speaks to a deeper truth about governance, legitimacy, and the limits of developmental authoritarianism. It speaks to Africa’s political future. And it speaks directly to the crossroads at which Kenya now finds itself. --- The Libyan Paradox: Prosperity Without Liberty Before the 2011 uprising, Libya’s economic and social indicators were strikingly strong for the region. Gaddafi’s Libya boasted: Free education Free healthcare Subsidized housing Cheap fuel High employment An extensive welfare system These were not myths. The United Nations Human Development Index (HDI) of 2010 ranked Libya 53rd in the world and first in Africa. Even today, that ranking stands...
