When Principles Meet Principalities. by Toks2008(m): 8:47am On Apr 30, 2017
I totally agree with the fact that many people expecially in Nigeria have this mindset that there is a spiritual power responsible for every unpleasant situations In their lives like unemployment, loss of job,death of a loved one,financial hardship,delayed and unfruitful marriage, barreness as so on.

The honest truth is that in most cases,we are the architect of our own life and we must brace up to take responsibility for whatever happens to us but In addition to this school of thought,we must also understand that life is being driven by two forces which are the physical and spiritual.

There have been many books written by successful people such as....

1.10 steps to financial success
2. The mindset of the successful people.
3. Step by step guide on how to make millions.
4. Think and grow rich.
5. Rich dad poor dad
6. Getting married and staying married....and many more...

Often times it always seem that the application of these principles will translate to success but in reality, principles of success as vivid as they may appear in real time application can be subjugated by principalities of life and that is why in some cases even those who apply all the principles of success of the Billionaires and achievers of the world still find it difficult to find a headway and many people who claim to be billionaires or successful usually have some sought of principality as a catalyst for success.

So conclusively,as we strive to be the best we can ever be in a legitimate way and with a clean slate,we must never forget to go on our kneels from time to time to fervently pray and possibly fast in order to overcome the principalities that may be a hindrance to the principles of success to work for us.

Remember that we live in a wicked world and when principles meet principalities of life,principles give way but when you pray and fast to remove any form of principalities that may deter you then you are most certain to have a smooth glide to success.

Ephesians 6:12.
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places"


Hope this makes sense.

Some ladies are the architect of their own loneliness..

How can a lady stay in the house 24hours a day be forming introvert and expect a man to notice and marry her.. She go marry her pillow oo.

Then when some ladies say men are the same, she will foolishly join the bandwagon and castigate the same men she never met in her entire boring life...

There will be challenges definitely, but all these powers you are talking about are just imaginations, I don't want to believe they exist.

This op does not understand spirituality and how complicated it is, what makes u think that winners chapel can boast of a sustainable church growth? It's becos the founder embarked on winning spiritual battles before using physical church growth ideas, our lives Is always contested daily by spiritual forces and uncertainties, it takes God's grace to win these battles... I have a frd that died immediately after graduation, u wanna tell me he died of exhaustion? We need to fully understand the importance of God In our lives and do the needful.. Thanks.

Nice write up! I totally agree with all you said! Its amazing though how people rush to blame it on 'na so so person or village dey do me', before looking inwards at their own faults that might have caused whatever hardship the person is experiencing!

It must sting to realize that your supernatural beliefs are no more real than all conflicting faiths, myths, and superstitions--

It's promoters of these delusions who get all the money (Peter Poppoff) ... not those who tell point out that the proverbial emperor is naked (James Randi). There's little money to me made from unbrainwashing people.

Psst... there are no magical rewards in a purported afterlife for believing bullshit; and no gods who are going to torture you for eternity if you don't believe in them. Free your mind before it's permanently damaged from faith.

Powers exists, but man have scientifically explained everything even when it don't make sense take the evolution theory as example although it makes no sense we must accept it as Long we don't want to believe in anything out of the ordinary
Re: When Principles Meet Principalities. by Partnerbiz(f): 9:33am On Apr 30, 2017
Most theistic stuffs make no sense. But I will be safer being a theist at least till people explain to me the source of some powers eg

Power with which people see vision

Power with which people do odeshi (bullet proof juju)

Power with which people make rain fall during ceremonies in villages ( don't talk about cloud seeding, I know about it and it's nothing to what I have experienced first hand in villages here.)

And some other diabolical powers.


Don't tell me it all exists in imagination or you don't believe it as your belief is immaterial. You can decide to believe that if you jump down from the roof of World Trade Centre that you will be safe but that doesn't stop me from parking your bones later.
