The will adoring the mind/knowledge is a moral disorder. Morality must be first is man,if not he is nothing more than an intelligent animal yes, but an animal nonetheless. It is the ability to accept a superior global good that belongs to the will.This is clouded by knowledge which tends to puff up and dry the spirit. God cannot be found in a disordered soul. Take small steps to revive the soul.Say The lords prayer about 10x a day.A short simple but power prayer constructed by God himself.It is the prayer of all beginners in the spiritual,also powerful for the advance during sterility. |

You're not alone. These days I do not know if it's fear, duty or love that keeps me going. My prayer last night was for an encounter to help me get back the faith I am so exponentially losing. 6 Likes |

knowledge in itself is neither good or bad but by loving it ardently you withdraw love from your fellow man whom knowledge is meant to serve and hence society exalts knowledge while plunging into depravity.Love of Christ leads to love of neighbour which develops society and with proper control of knowledge exalts society,but only if Christ is first. 1 Like |

[quote author=Hurlstarling post=53853827]I remember so vivid then how ecstatic I was in God's presence. Full of life and joy, in fact led praises in youth gatherings. So it becomes quite unbelievable how vast things have changed over the course of three years, and how well I personally have changed. The beginning of this I cannot pinpoint. However, the causes I can suggest. Over the years I have become an active thinker with logic dominating most of my reasonings. These registered quite a lot of dissonance in what I used to belief and what reality presents as same it has helped in understanding the universe and God purpose for humanity, and what he is doing to achieve this despite the human race being unappreciative. Also, my not so interested in many things and zero emotional level could have also contributed to the lack of Joy in God's presence, since Joy is positively heightened emotion. This then stands not the problem: "My inability to make use of my gift." As a thinker I do so well in the line of writing, so the gift of writing which is intellectual I exhibit without restraint despite my personality, in fact it favours it. My other gift which propels this piece is the gift of worship: I am a songwriter and singer. Unable, is the verb that relates to this gift. Of course I try my best going to church despite my so restrained spectrum of interest. That wouldn't be a problem, the problem is the joy is not so much there: the need to be part of what they do. I see choristers sing and every time I wish I can be part of that, sing with them to the God of my fathers. The gift is there, I have written hundreds of songs, taught couples in the past, still write, just I can't exhibit the will to sing or teach them any longer. I am approaching zero level of interest in spiritual activities. Conflicting is I still love God having understand his plan for humanity. So the author is not an, and can never be an atheist. This is evident in my coming novel "A Loveline" (I will like you read it). So, if anyone knows how, and how and well, well and good, efficient practical not spiritually placed steps to exercise this music skills of mine in God's presence as I expressly do here with my writing skills, I will be glad to see it shared. I think you have lost the "anointing " and the reason is not farfetched. Too much logic usually works against the "anointing". Start doing what you love and wanna do for the Lord. Sing to the Lord, irrespective of your feelings. God will restore His anointing, when your heart and head are in His will. Never give up. It is only a phase. You will be fine at last. |

The way the religious leaders in Nigeria behave is a valid reason to doubt the existence of whatever they preach. The Muslims are killing as much as possible and the Christians are stealing as much as possible from the weakest in the society. Go to Ikoyi and Banana Island, you never see churches of mosques there. In fact, there is no single religious center in the whole Ikoyi. Go to the areas where the poor live, you have churches and mosques littering everywhere. My dad has been a member of Deeper Life since the late 70s and he's given tons of money to the church. When Deeper Life High School was being built members were heavily taxed. However, when it was established, the fees were outrageous. 600k per child. I asked in my local branch church why the the fees were so high, the reply I got as that they needed to reach the children of the wealthy. Meanwhile there were children of members who contributed to this school but couldn't afford the fees. Some of these members had been in church since the 80s and 90s. That was the day my faith died. These people are more callous than the 'sinners' they are preaching to. 13 Likes 4 Shares |

Remember the things you first did at those times, with conscious efforts of spending time in prayer (at least an hour a day) spend more time in studying the word, have a spiritual cover (be submissive to your prophet) the devil is working overtime. I didn't include avoiding sin because if you do the following diligently you'll loose appetite for sin |

Hurlstarling: God has nothing to do with religion. God has nothing to do with your church. If indeed you've become rational and is questioning what you've been told about God since you were younger, that's exactly what you are supposed to do. Jesus did the same!!. When Jesus grew up and the scales of religious indoctrination fell off his eyes, he went to the temple arguing with the scribes and pharises (intellectuals and church leaders) about the true nature of God and what God wants. That's exactly the disvovery you've made now that religion does not represent God. When Jesus made that discovery he went further to call religious people and religious leaders "hypocrites" who like to wash the outside of the cup while the inside is dirty. So, if Jesus wasn't a religious person, there's no basis for anybody to claim their religion or church, mosque, synagogue, temple, have anything to do with God. You don't need a church, pastor, mosque, imam, synagogue, Rabbi, e.t.c to believe in God. You're on the right track. You actually need to drop your religion in order to understand God better. You need to drop your religion in order to appreciate and love humanity equally no matter what their belief system, because with religion you cannot love everybody, thereby felling the most important commandment "love your neighbor as yourself". God's word is not in any book nor church nor mosque nor synagogue. God's word is in your heart. Abraham Lincoln said ''when I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion''. 7 Likes 3 Shares |

My dear, i really felt for you. The truth is that God is real. The leaves of the trees and all nature acknoledge that He is. Its ilogical to believe that He does not exist. Pls locate a disciplined and learned church and talk to the Priest. You will get help. Im not a Roman catholic but I recomend it. Many of the newer churches might lead you further astray with their craving for materialism. The Anglican communion is another church you can give a try. Pls note: im not recomending a church for you to be attending but where you can go and get godly and learned counsel. You can go back to ur church afterwards. May God reveal Himself to you through the enduement of the holy spirit. God bless and keep you dear 1 Like |

realmindz: Knowledge is not Wisdom. Knowledge without morality is depravity.The scientists that worked on nuclear physics and E=mc2 sort knowledge, but human depravity turned that formular into missiles that can wipe us out in hrs. For the survival of the human specie morality must be first and very far ahead of knowledge. The supreme moral Good is God. God must be sort first even without knowledge as Christ says......Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all will be added to you. |

There is a saying 'one mans good is another mans poison' hence the supreme Good, all men are to seek is that good which does not turn to poison for its neighbour, a good ready to annihilate itself for all mankind and each particular man.Anything less like,self or knowledge, brings discord,various 'isms', and a slow plunge into depravity. |
