Don't Neglect Your Spirit To The Detriment Of Your Eternal Destiny

It is not possible for the human body to carry out its responsibilities without being animated by the spirit, which is eternal! Your physical body is an empty building while the real occupant is the intangible being on the inside. Many people don't even give a single thought to the fact that the spirit within them is the most important part of their lives, to God and eternity. It is very important that you focus on your spirit, and spirituality, because your body's existence will terminate on this earth, but your spirit will continue its existence forever and ever. The spirit never dies; being forever young, it lives without end! If you believe in GOD, take note that your spirit is the most important part of your being that has relevance to GOD. All other temporal aspects are of secondary importance to HIM. It is your duty as a human being to do all that's within your power to keep the spirit on flight.
The amount of money you spend on your body doesn't really matter as much because it has an expiry date. How beautiful or handsome you are wouldn't matter if you don't give adequate attention to the nourishment, growth and maintenance of your spirit. Your physical and eternal existence could be a waste if you don't do this. The spirit can live without the body, but the body cannot live without the spirit. Everyone is aware that a body without spirit is dead. It's funny to see many people beautify their bodies and fill up their minds with trivial information, to the detriment of their eternal spirit. The neglect of your spiritual life is bound to affect your eternal destiny. GOD, who is spirit, made us in HIS image. Keep it in mind that you were designed to reason in the likeness of the image of GOD. GOD made man to worship HIM in spirit and in truth! Thus HE desires spiritual worshippers, and not the host of material-minded humans who now dominate the earth.
The nourishment, growth and maintenance of the spirit requires intangible things like inspiration, mental insights, the words of GOD in the holy books, and even the elevation or exercise of psychic abilities. Spiritual exercise is a major key to excellence in the unseen things of GOD and eternity. The spiritual life is a school of eternity that has no end, and although you might be on a higher level than so many, you can never know too much. Never feel that you have arrived even when you start to radiate the uncommon types of spiritual or supernatural powers that naturally follow those who focus on the spiritual aspect of their being. Always exercise your mind on the things that relate to the spirit, and GOD. Work on your spirit today and your relevance in the bosom of eternity will be guaranteed.

Real Destinies Are Related To Spiritual Enlightenment And Stability Of Mind

If we look at the picture of life in a larger view, we will ask ourselves a grand question - why are we here? What is the reason of our being here on earth? Did we get here accidentally, or were we intentionally designed with a purpose? Your reason for being here has unique purpose. I believe that one of the major purposes for our being here is to locate our individual destiny by striving to find out what we were born to do, and go ahead in fulfilling the purpose we intend to seek out. In so doing, we will be contributing our own quota to the welfare & destiny of mankind, and the world at large. Another major purpose is to achieve everlasting spiritual enlightenment. Unfortunately, the minds of most people tend to lead them astray into a direction which doesn't come from their hearts, so they get distracted from finding out their true purpose in life. Most humans often think that money, power, success, fame and popularity will create a happy life for them, and so they vigorously pursue these desires. People go after these dreams while at the same time seeking the experience of spiritual enlightenment. Gaining spiritual enlightenment about our destiny, the reality of God and the unseen world, would give us a peaceful state of mind, it would make us feel more relaxed and calm. Our purpose in life is related to a considerable extent with spiritual enlightenment about God and His Kingdom. If our spirits are not sufficiently inspired and motivated, we can't be awakened towards the perception our purposes in life. A major key towards a realizing spiritual enlightenment is to follow our intuition, our spiritual thinking or our heart. We have to find out our purpose in life and live our life to the brim from within our souls, the inner world. Living our life in this manner will imbibe stillness within our minds. Then, we will naturally be able to let go of negative emotions, hopelessness, fear, guilt, malice and false beliefs which normally pre-occupy the human mind. As we continue to make it a habit of living in this way, our minds will automatically have lesser thoughts and we'll have a greater capacity to achieve a more stable level of spiritual enlightenment. In summary, lets locate our purpose in life. If we truly do so, then we wouldn't have to worry about finding a different job because we'll love the job we are occupied with. We also have to learn to let go of bad memories often associated with the past. Let’s not carry them within our minds. In dropping the odds and negatives, our minds will gradually become more still as time passes by. We also have to develop a personality that can't be negatively influenced by the outward changes so often associated with life. By doing this, our minds will become less affected by any change external situations. We have to practice how to drop our fears and lack of faith which often hold many people from moving towards their destinies. Such negative traits also prevent us from obtaining spiritual enlightenment about God and eternity.
