The Mask Of Self-deceit

There are no excuses to the things of God.

One thing we cannot comprehend is the truth and so far as I am concerned, I believe the greatest illusion of mankind is the illusion of self.

Self deceit is the creation of lies, ego, illusions, self-justification and wrong beliefs created in your subconscious mind and heavily influenced by your concious thoughts to believe it to be true. We all have brains, our brains have a "reticular activating system" and it's function is to fill your mind with thoughts. When we have a reason to justify our actions, we don't grow.

For instance, if you ask a young man or woman why ain't you in a relationship, instead of giving you a personal reason like "I'm not ready for now" or something much better. They'll give answers like, "all men are the same" or "all women aren't loyal".

Another instance could be asking a young vibrant man why are you constantly complaining that there's no money, he'll say "The country, the President & The economy is bad". That's so wrong.

Today I wanna emphasize on the spiritual aspect of self deceit.

Whatever challenges one may be faced with, be it financial, sin, material possessions, character deficiency or health. The first thing you need to identify is SELF-ACCEPTANCE, accepting that the situation exists and that you're willing to change.

Be Willing To Work On Yourself?More - Identifying your imperfections and working on being a better you is an important tool to start with. You can't be perfect for everyone, but you can be perfect for yourself. We all have flaws, but we must put in the work to work on ourselves more than anything else. Our character, attitudes, choice of words, addictions, confidence and manners etc. The only thing constant is change and the only thing holding us back from moving forward is change. As beings, we constantly evolve and we adapt to our reality to go with the flow. Our reality is being controlled by the unseen forces so what we can't control or change we can only choose to respond with what we perceive to be true. So if you think that your situation will never change, that's exactly what you get. If you choose to focus on the negative emotions & energies by surrounding yourself with negative people or thoughts, you'd only attract more negative things to your life. Likewise if you choose to acknowledge the positive, focus on working on yourself more, staying consistent to the things you love by creatively utilizing your creativity, you'd attract more and more positive energies.

Show Love & Kindness To Others - The Bible says we should love others as we love ourselves (including our enemies). Wait!!! Like for real? How can we love our enemies? Like.... Why?

I know my dear, it may seem difficult sometimes but certainly LOVE CONQUERS ALL. As humans, we're subjected to our emotions, we feel hurt, we express our emotions and that's fine, but holding onto pain and guilt will stop you from evolving. We have all been betrayed, neglected and backstabbed by the people we love and care the most. These could be friends, family members or lovers, it's ok to feel sad, its ok to cry and scream it all out. But never hold unto those memories or pain, always love regardless.

Now it could be extremely difficult and frustrating if you ask me, but I will explain how to let go of these feelings to move to a better and happier you.

? Ask for help: Prayer is a major thing that has shaped-shifted my life, I learnt how to pray and ask God to help me heal, move on and love. I've also been cheated on, never supported by my cousins, betrayal from friends and close friends. But here I am, telling you that God never neglected me. He took me in and taught me how to live an abundant life with happiness and peace of mind holding no guilt and pain in my heart.

? Set Boundaries: The next thing is to set boundaries, cut people off that's holding you back. People that don't support your dreams, people that gossip, people that aren't sincere, people that aren't beneficial to you anymore. CUT THEM OFF.?Leave no traces!! (Otilo). It'll hurt, but you'd not die, you'd be fine and everything else will be alright. People that betrayed, switched up on you or doing spells on you to keep you stuck. Believe me, they're not working, why? Because you're heavenly protected and all thier evil things will be sent back to them. Look at thier lives, they are not happy even if they appear on social media to be happy. They have no peace because they tried to steal your peace. So relax and let God whoop them 1 by 1.

Finally, be open to fully surrender totally to God, you can not fight or make these changes alone, it is not in your power to, you cannot heal from that heartbreak or betrayal without the help of God. Accept Christ and watch things move in your favor.

Love and Light
