THE MAN BEHIND THE VEIL

Looking at how life kept turning many people around and how other people make some other persons feel inferior. I had this strong urge to write this piece because someone out there whom I may never know needs to read it and pick up the broken pieces of his or her life.

Let me start by telling you that what determines whom you become is not what that person around you told you. I will also say that your family and friends do not have the right to define your person to you. Even you who is reading this piece do not have the right to define yourself. The only person that has the full right to define you is the person that made you; the person that created you.

A car does not decide what it is built for. It is the manufacturer that determines what the car is built for and what the car should be called. The driver of the car might use the car for any other thing but that will mean “abusing the car.”

So many of us have abused our lives by the things we do with it. Some of us abuse our lives by the things we say about ourselves. Some of us have also abused ourselves by what we call ourselves. Many a time, we blame others for abusing us in one way or another while we are the greatest “abusers” of our lives.

You must dare to be yourself. May Sarton wrote, “We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be.” Become whom God has built you to be.

What I want to tell you that read this piece is that whatever it is the world around you and you yourself have called yourself that is contrary to what your maker calls you will stop having negative effect on you after reading this write up. After reading this piece the pain and emotional pain and psychological defect which have followed you for sometimes will fly away with the wind, never to come back.

Follow me…

THE SPIRIT THAT LIVES IN ME:

The Spirit that lives you is the Spirit of God. It doesn’t matter if you believe in God or not. The Bible says in Genesis 1:26 “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”

God personally made you by himself not by His spoken word. He didn’t create you the same way he created animals and plants. I know some people that read this piece believe in evolution theory. However, years after evolution theory were introduced into this world. They still remains at the level of theory. There have never been any evidence to prove the theory therefore I will advice all those that believe in the theory to have a re-think.

Friend God made you in His own image and likeness. He transferred a part of Him inside you after making you. That part of Him which He transferred into you when he breathed into you is what put life into the sinew which you carry around every day.

What determines ones action is the spirit that lives in the person. A man cannot give more than what he carries inside Him. The Spirit you carry is the greatest Spirit you can find anyway. This Spirit is the Spirit is the Spirit of POWER and of SOUND MIND (2 Timothy 1:7). That Spirit is poised for action if only you can unleash Him.

In that place we read in Genesis God created human to dominate the things around him/her. God did not create human to be dominated by the things that happen around him/her. God created you to take charge of your circumstances. He created and gave you His Spirit so that you will “run things instead of things running you.”

Anytime you live in the cage people built for you by the way they treat you, it means you are not maximizing the Spirit of DOMINION which God planted you while creating you.

My good friend this is the time to pick up that which God called you prior to your creation. Look at those things that call you bad names and give you poor image, eye ball to eye ball and tell them that YOU ARE MORE THAN CONQURORS.

Always remember that people can call you whatever name they wish, but that does not erase the name God called you before you were born. You are not a biological mistake. Even if you were born by “human mistake,” you were never a mistake before God.

Go to your mirror right now if you have any. If you don’t have a mirror, look at your shadow. If you can’t see your shadow right now, place your hand on your chest and speak these words to yourself.

“The man behind that veil is a great man.”

“The man behind that veil is more than conqueror.”

“The man behind the veil is a man full of power.”

“I am far and better than what the world or people around me call me.”

“I am more than what I call myself.”

“I am whom and what God says I am.”

One of the ways to activate all the Lord has programmed for you is to draw close to God through Jesus Christ. Therefore let me close this write up by saying that Jesus Christ still receives sinners. He is actually a friend of sinners; therefore whatever sin you have committed will be taken care of, if only you will ask Him to take care of it. He shed His love when He poured out His life on the cross of Calvary. He doesn’t demand much from you. The only thing He asks of you is your heart. He is asking that you give Him a space in your heart so that He will direct your life.

Invite Him by saying: Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner. I come to you this day to surrender my heart and life for your leadership. Give me the grace to live above anything that brings pain to you. Give me grace to follow you at all time. Give me the grace to live and stay close to God. Thank you for making me one of yours. Amen.
