INTRODUCTION
REALISATION IN ANY ASPECT REQUIRES UNDERSTANDING AND ENTANGLES REFLECTION IN WHATEVER WAY THE AIRED INFORMATION WOULD HAVE STRICKEN YOU.

FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF THE ACQUIRED INFORMATION DEFINES THE WHOLE ASPECT OF REALISATION, IN MANY BUT RARE PRACTICAL SITUATIONS (CASES) MUST AND SHOULD RESULT IN OVERT OR COVERT CHANGES IN A CERTAIN HABIT OR MAINTANANCE OF WHATEVER HABIT OR PRACTICE.

WE HOWEVER NEED TO UNDERSTAND AND TAKE INTO ACCOUNT AND CONSIDERATION THAT THE WHOLE ASPECT OF REALISATION IS INFACT A PROCESS THAN WHAT MANY MAY TEND TO CONFUSE IT FOR, AN EVENT, WHICH IS GREATLY INFLUENCED BY ONE’S INNER DESIRE TO REFLECT, ACCEPT AND OR DENY.

THOUGH IN MANY INSTANCES THE GREAT REALITY OF REALISATION OFTENLY STRIKES, OR MAY HAVE STRICKEN MANY, ONE CONSTANT THING IF IT LACKS, THE WHOLE seed OF REALISATION WOULD UNFORTUNATELY DIE OFF WITHOUT EVEN GERMINATING OR MOREOVER BUDDING INTO ANYTHING!

i.e. THE MAIN ISSUE THAT OF REMINDING, CULTIVATING AND MAINTAINING OF A STABLE AND CONSTANT MINDSET ALL THIS IS OF IMPORTANCE IF THE WHOLE PROCESS IS TO BECOME MEANINGFUL AND RESULT IN FRUIT YIELDING. A CONSTANT RELATION OF THE ISSUES SORROUNDING THE FURTHER DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH OF THE REALISED THING OR IDEA IS VERY VITAL, AND IN A GREAT WAY THE LIFE PUMPING ASPECT OF THE WHOLE IDEA AND PROCESS OF THIS GREAT AND NEW DISCOVERY.

IDENTITY
IN LIFE ONE OF THE KEY REALITIES of all of mankind is the ability and sense to have a form of IDENTITY, i.e. a name, home, family, profession and a meaningful background. This not only serves a purpose for current situations but also allows an important and meaningful relation of one’s past, present and a creation of a clear and meaningful insight of the FUTURE.

Therefore if it is important for a person to understand one’s identity in a “time spanned”, corruptible and ending life (world) what more the importance of an identity in one’s to be and destined life? (PHILIPPIANS 3V20)

PRECONTEMPLATION
In all of creation, though some with a strong conviction that they do not fit within that category; all was created with a sense of VOID within, which only fills and satisfies when one allows adoration and worship, i.e. of GOD the creator. In addition it should be all of mankind’s desire in order to allow finding of his true and purposed identity, (PSALM 27v4-7, Philippians 3v18-19)

However due to the element of sin and the current nature of this world which resulted from mans’ disobedience, our true initial identity of which the rightful element we ought to fill our hearts and (void) with, is completely distorted. (Thus the current crisis prevailing in the entire world) John 8 verses 42-47, therefore a form of rediscovering of our identity is key to amending and correcting all of mankind’s sinful actions which have greatly and negatively impacted on his day to day lifestyle, both in this first world and that which is to come, which only await the awarded ones, (Revelation 22verses12-17)

If man is true to his sixth sense “the conscience” in all he does a true light is always on for the practice of the rightful thing and decision. But due to the need however to opt, wrongly prioritize and fill the VOID of GOD, with selfish and earthly desires one allows the inhabiting of other gods and then allows them to take over. Resulting in a devastating torment of mankind in many aspects e.g. alcohol, drug, sexual, physical, emotional and psychological abuse, i.e. fleshly desires (gods) rather than the expected and true Living GOD, and his HOLY SPIRIT. (Galatians 5v1-26, Mark5 v1-20) (Legion).

Our body is termed the temple of God for a significant reason which we need perfectly understand and comprehend, i.e. that is what and who man is, his true forgotten identity, who ought to fill himself with the presence and WILL of God at all times not periodically or partially but FULLY. (Philippians 1v21-29, Jeremiah 29v11, Romans 8v28 and 1Corinthians 6verse12-20)

If one knows who he is and what comprises him, it then makes much better sense and meaning for him to practically venture into developing and achieving one’s desired and expected goals and allows a clear destiny attainment. So man to be able to overcome the torment of various lifestyles needs to grasp this concept of identity, for it holds all of our hindering circumstances to achieving our destiny of heaven entry, ( due to our evil desires) (Luke 15v11-31, prodigal son, and Galatians 5v19-21)

Though man is embraced by the sinful nature of this world which blindfolds his (our) vision to our true identity, we need to equally understand that a great plan was mastered and put into place for the preservation of our IDENTITY and is ours for the taking that is the CROSS (our source of salvation) {Romans 3v23, Romans 6v23, Ephesians 1v4, 2 Samuel 9v8} we are worthy to him!

God maintained the need to allow man to progress through this harsh world to an expected end; knowing so much that there is an enemy out there, the devil to hinder that attainment entry into our final home, heaven, (John 10v10 and John16v33)

We need not lose sight and embrace sin and its desires at the expense of the initial well-expected and permanent end. The need to maintain the rightful element in our inner void is what safe guards us from all that which is longing to destroy us, including the deadly diseases like HIV/AIDS and their related consequences (James 4v8) and (1Peter5v6-11)

There is no way whatsoever these weapons purposed for our downfall can prosper as long as we remain and retain our identity by allowing the indwelling of God’s true Spirit within us as he initiated and desires, for His being intact and conquers all as he identified himself as a selfless being to all of us, LOVE. (1 John 4v16-18) and practically in John 3v16). (John 15v4, 7 and 13)

Dear friends and fellow brethren what more proof and evidence do we need to read between the lines, that is either the reality of God’s love or the fake and illusive offers of the devil in this passing and fading world. To them who will and desire, there is a way out for them to take, despite the pushing and nagging by the devil, (Philippians 4v13, Matthew 4v1-11and 1 Corinthians 10v13)

THE IMPORTANCE and RELEVENCE OF THE IDENTITY CONCEPT IN RELATION TO A PERSON’S LIFESTYLE
To worship is to give FULL and TOTAL acknowledgement and priority to someone or something with your whole being in praise, honor, gratitude and respect from within going all the way out..

Worship is expresses through the time priority, invested and focus given to the particular thing or person in question

If one tends to commit and give much of their time upon something or something adoring it over and over again, one would have automatically entered into worship. If one tends to sit glued to the television set more often and tend to forget to prioritize other things like working or going to church on Sundays due to a desire to watch a match or any other Programme on TV. One would have chosen to worship the earlier over the later, of which true and expected worship is due to GOD the creator of the entire universe and his whole being and Spirit should dwell within and amongst us always emanating, protecting and retaining our true self nature and identity. (John 4v9-26) * 21-24

The important and crucial thing to be remembered and practiced is the ART of prioritizing, of which if we fail to, we automatically stray off the road to finding and reaching our destiny and full selves. For instance if one is called to be a watch man over a fruit orchard by carrying out duties such as chasing away monkeys and or any thieves who may want to bring destruction upon the orchard, one then would be putting on the responsibility of doing everything and whatever it demands in his power to safeguard the orchard and his personality as well as a noble representative and minder. If he is to be seen in any behavior or activity that endangers or compromises the nature and safety of the orchard (like stealing or facilitating any crime within the orchard, even without being caught), he would have given away his true identity and nature as a responsible and noble watchman at the expense of his personal, selfish gains and desires.

The watchman is therefore expected to abide by the personality and actions that resembles who he is and how the nature of the orchard ought to be found or seen like, note also that the whole aspect of the WATCHMAN’S LIFESTYLE. As long as he remains within the environment surrounding the orchard, he is greatly influenced by how he conducts his activities, duties as well as how he VIEWS and VALUES his purpose, responsibilities and master (Romans 6 verses1-14)

CONTEMPLATION
If one hears and understands it is only natural and expected of him to respond, however note that not all responses are positive some would be equally negative and may have been driven by negative influences such as denial, which one had thought and grown to be. (Malachi 3verse16-18)

Taking into account and consideration all the things which one hears, if it is well brainstormed should either prompt one to reflect and act with an honest and open or to brush it off and ignore it. However deep and honest consideration with a true heart is quite relevant and essential, (Acts 8 verses 26-40). One key aspect to master on how or what decision to make or take in such situations would be to allow oneself into a deep involvement in things which will make you develop a deeper and firm understanding and comprehension on what you would have discovered or realized, e.g. further reading or references to any positively related materials. (Jeremiah 33v3, Psalm 1v1-6 and Ephesians 3v14-21)

Two fascinating and exciting biblical examples of how the similar aspect is practical are found in the book of Acts in (Acts 2 verses 14-40 and Acts 8 verses 26-40), when the information of salvation was presented to these people it appealed to them and resulted in their need to relate, comprehend and act. Peter was preaching to a huge crowd of people, no doubt there were of different natures but a sense of response is greatly observed by what some of them asked, “...brethren what then shall we do?” verse 37. During this situation I would like to believe that the message preached by Peter that day was both positively and negatively responded to, as some were baptized and received the Holy Spirit but others chose equally not to, a behavior characterized by most of us today (ignorance) The question which was raised by those positively impacted was then followed by a practical answer, which also expected a practical action; no doubt it led them into discovering their true nature, purpose and identity, verses 38.

Acts 8 verses 26-40 records yet another inspiring example, of an inquisitive Ethiopian eunuch who after hearing about Christ in a passage during an event in Jerusalem, moved on to seek for clarity and answers from Philip which later awesomely led to his new birth and a discovery of many blessings, all due to positive response to aired and presented information!

PREPERATION FOR ACTION
Major hindrances which may however haunt or extinguish the growth of a new seed which seeks to grow may be that of past condemnation and certain occurrences which illusively paint a picture of self pity or unworthiness, or situations which may seem unchangeable, unmanageable or uncorrectable. However one needs to understand that man is a fallible creature as noted in Romans 3verse23, and that ones past sins can be pardoned and forgotten regardless of ones former lifestyle only if one accepts Christ and finds and move on to understand his true identity. (1John 1v9, John 8v1-11, John 4v1-11), (adulterous woman)

We need to know that God sent Jesus Christ for all of us regardless of race, gender or nature because of our one great problem, sin as a result of (disobedience) so Jesus knows and understands all about us and our sins and is here for that purpose and reason, (John 10v10, Matthew 10v28, John3V16, Luke 19v1-10) *10

He said it himself that he came to seek/find that which is lost and all of us are in God’s sight lost due to our falling from his grace, Romans 3v23b. We need however be willing to lay aside all our shadows of the past and take up a new life in Christ Jesus, and receive him with truth and conviction and he will certainly move on to redeem us. John 3v16, John 1v11-14, John 8v12-20, (Romans chapters 5, 6 and 8)

Comprehend that we have a winner on our side and we need only take up and claim our rightful position as God’s heirs and believe within and practically act, (John 16v33, 2 Timothy 1v7)

ACTION
Bearing a form of change and fruits is one of the things expected to be observed in someone who would have experienced and received a form of awareness, word, discovery or realization. The same is equally expected, even in receiving and understanding the word of God just as in every arena of life, for example when Jesus had to curse the fig tree, which was green and leafy yet without any form of FRUITS at all.
(Matthew 21verses18-22, Mark 11verse12-14)

We are referred to as soil in to Bible when Jesus teaches of the seeds and good soil, where the seeds landed on various soil types, one ought to then wonder and ask himself which soil type he is, judging from what Christ said, (Matthew 13v1-23, Psalm 127v1-3).

Regardless of where we have been calling and heeding the word of God and our calling to our identity is always far WORTHY than anything we may have encountered, e.g. the hemorrhage woman for 12 years she had suffered with the flowing of blood but one day and moment she met Jesus and all that changed she instantly got healed. Even your situation today whatever it is or that habit you have or may be struggling to overcome today can be history if you understand your origin in Jesus Christ “our author and finisher of our faith” and move on to exercise your God given right.(John1v12-13) We need all the determination and courage we have to positively adopt a rightful mindset that who and what we are is a nature of REDEEMED VICTORS, yes we were once bound by sin but God has a made a new way for us for GOOD! (2 Timothy 1v7, Mark 5v1-43, Romans 6v1-22, Romans 7v1-25)

We need to start relating, focusing and uniting our SIGHT, HEART and MIND together so that we with one accord GROP on forward to our true and expected destiny, we need also comprehend that taking PRACTICAL ACTION, has its own merits which are only covert when we practically act with our being (John 3v1-12, Mark 6v5-6)

Zacheous contemplated and boldly laid aside all that he once was, swallowed his pride and allowed Jesus to practically minister to his life and to fill his inner VOID within his heart which he once filled with earthly riches, desires and greed, he practically combined his faith and word, what wonder and awesome delight he must have discovered and experienced that very day. (Luke19verse1-8)

We have God’s support throughout, only if we listen, comprehend, accept and practically move on to act upon our longing Godly principles. (1John 4v16-18, John1v11-13)

God made us with an identity and purpose and the slightest moment we forget that and we move on to take up any other form of lifestyles or so called exciting events of earthly life we RISK putting our WHOLE being, nature and identity at stake! So, we are to be careful how we conduct ourselves in this deceptive world for we are in this world but definitely not of this world!

God has put in place many deliberate commandments and counsels for our welfare and he greatly desires and expects us to MEDITATE upon then to allow us focus and destiny attainment. (Psalm 1v1-6, and because they allow us to clearly understand our true and rightful identity though the nature of this world may strongly think otherwise. So if we decide to take up this earthly nature we automatically put aside the sense of our true identity. Contrast John 8v31-41 and 42-47, Galatians 5v16-21 and 22-26, Philippians 3v20, Matthew 6v33 and 7v21)

The whole aspect which either model one to be a true sample of the true lifestyle and identity or not is all summed up in (Galatians 5verses16-26) either being led by the Holy Spirit or the Devil, people who decide to turn their back on their identity should understand and its expect it to be hostile and painful, these consequences should not come as a surprise for God has allowed us to understand and the freedom to CHOOSE our end. Today’s anguish experienced by man is because of his continual denial of himself and identity initially put forth by God. (Proverbs 1v7) for one becomes how he thinks (Jeremiah 1v5)

If you choose to obey and be who you are meant to be, it makes the relation of yourself with God and even with the outside world more meaningful and purposed, as well as easy for you to divorce yourself from the earthly snares of this here world including the acts which may lead one to attaining HIV/AIDS. (Matthew 6verse,s 19-24, Ephesians 3v1-13, John 15v1-17).

MAINTANANCE
When we begin bearing fruits, we need not get over excited and move on to forget our need to MULCH and facilitate its keeping on and on. One striking example is that of Jesus Christ himself Son of God, (John1v1-3) he knew that even though he was God himself in nature required a constant fueling from God the father as long as he was on this earth due to its nature and demands. (Ephesians 6v1-20) *12 So, he prayed and fasted for his ministry, which was awaiting him. (Matthew 4v1-11), though he was tried his positioning tactic made him a victor.

He also managed to make it through to the end for our sake by constant prayer and meditation (Matthew 26v36-46), so if Christ thought it necessary and relevant to engage in prayer and fasting more often during his days on this sin fabricated earth what more us his followers today on this here earth. (Ephesians 3v14-18)

Paul knew the very challenge of this world without prayer and constant meditation of the word, and he greatly emphasized the need for prayer as we walk towards home (heaven), so he often encouraged the saints to live in the word and in constant prayer, he wrote the need for an amour to the Ephesians, in (Ephesians 6verses10-18). All that also greatly applies to ourselves even today!

On many accounts Jesus found himself in solitude praying and in communion with God the father for the drawing of strength, wisdom and courage, for he knew that he was in a spiritual and invisible warfare, and we too should understand that, by allowing ourselves to identify and view ourselves in perspective with God. (John 17v1-24)

Paul also knew that salvation was only the beginning of much to come and that the need to exhort and encourage the newly born and saved saints was important and essential in anyone’s true nature of Christianity. So, he spent a great deal of his time on his knees for the saints so that they would remain in their true and initial faith. He knew so much of their vulnerability to temptations and to the schemes of the evil one. (Ephesians 3v1-24/25-31, Acts 20v17-32)

He also affirmed them that the devil was only but an illusion and defeated individual, when he said that “the devil is walking around like a roaring lion, resist him and he will flee”. So, we need not fear or worry but pray more and abide in his faith and love. (James 2v4-8, Ephesians 4v17-24 and 25-31),

Certain characteristics are expected to be of manifest so that we attain the awaiting goals and crown of victory pending for us in heaven above, most importantly fruits of the Holy Spirit and of love (1 Corinthians 9v24-27, 1 Corinthians 13v1-13, Romans 8v1-17). Allow me to conclusively say to you my fellow friends and brethren that God greatly cares and loves us all despite who we are and is willing to give us new life if we choose to follow him, (Matthew 11v28-30, Romans 12v1-8 and 9-21)

Our key to overcoming this world, HIV/AIDS and all its related consequences lies in the word of God which purifies and identifies us and allows us to remain in our full potential and nature, that of being God’s precious creation, friends, children and heirs, loved ones (Romans 13verses8-10)

We need however understand and bear in mind how God views us as, (John 15verse13), precious friends that he was willing to lay his life for us. (Psalm 63v3), understand that your identity lies in knowing God fully and will enable you to initiate all of your life on a new and guaranteed platform and note, (Matthew 6verse33).

Remember God is good all the time and all the time God is good!
