Christianity, Daddy Freeze: Training Against Hate, Atheism & Bitterness -By Nneka Okumazie

The most rigorous training in the world is for love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance.

There are far easier and more abundant training in the world, outside those. Hate, bitterness, wickedness, desperation, deceit, greed, envy, vindictiveness, hidden intentions, etc. are learned through life.

As a fact, the world trains on those and the mind seems to reward people who try to outdo others on those.

Why are some people often disgruntled, after something falls apart? Why does the heart break, with audio or visual of something – or close to it – that caused pain in the past? Why does the mind – from nowhere – suggest hate and bitterness?

Why are opportunities fewer in a tougher world, but the way to handle the inevitable three: rejection, disappointment and failure are not clear?

Why is the mind often tortured and tormented for several years after something goes wrong? What controls actual mistake? Why does the feeling of frustration, sometimes, outsize the situation, its longevity and solution – or otherwise?

Why do people – sometimes – feel threatened by a new person, or in a new workplace? Why do some work everything to get to certain heights, only to find emptiness there?

These are far valid questions to try to find answers to or solve, for the good of the world, beyond atheism – a flawed theory, assumed to mainly discredit the Christian Faith, but unable to find solutions to some of the world’s most common experiences.

How can the world train against bitterness? How can the world train against wickedness? How can the world train against deceit? How can the world train against desperation? How is it possible to build resistance against being miserable – without any bad habit? How is it possible to not fall badly into deceit?

Military training, education, skill development, etc. are prized, but the real things that break people, or cause them to do strange things are ignored.

Yes, there are morals, people often learn to tell truths that can be verified, but lax on things difficult to verify, or truths that could be problematic.

Deceit is a big problem for the world, because the world runs on what is seen, or heard, not what is thought [hidden], or what is not shared [reticence], or concealed act.

Deceit is also encouraged and rewarded. How is it possible to not want to embellish things, when people naturally assume that if this individual has this certain thing, it definitely means more?

No wonder it is easy to fall into the trap where others think an individual has it all, or have things together.

There is a lot of shallowness – of things – in the world where, desire goes, ambition gets, but quickly fades out in the mind.

The world is generally hungry, but not for food. The ease with which the mind is swayed shows an availability problem, for test, for control and manipulation.

The mind is where training against bitterness and hate begins. It is the place to know where an individual stands, or what one stands for, first, before it is spoken or acted out.

The mind – without hate or bitterness – can quickly dispel anger. However, with hate, anger could turn into danger. [Matthew 12:34, O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.] [Philippians 4:8, Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of goodreport; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things.]

[1 Samuel 7:3, And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, [then] put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve Him only: and He will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.] [Romans 10:10, For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto Salvation.] [Luke 10:27, And He answering said, Thou shalt love the LORD thy GOD with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.] [Proverbs 4:23, Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it [are] the issues of life.]

Genuine Christianity is a full-time rigorous training, for a clean heart, for a pure heart and for great behavior – in public and in private.

One great thing about the Christian Faith is that no one knows what goodness will inspire more goodness, or what mercy will inspire mercy. [Acts 27:43, But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from [their] purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast first [into the sea], and get to land:]

It is often assumed sometimes that humility is weakness or that meekness or say forgiveness means lack of power. NO. There are some who happened to be in certain situations needing something, but not necessarily helpless. [Matthew 12:7, But you would not have condemned My innocent disciples if you knew the meaning of this Scripture: I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.]

This world has to be a better place and it is not just about more food, clothes, shelter, technology, economy, or politics.

It depends on majority, being great at love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance.

[Psalm 51:10, Create in me a clean heart, O GOD; and renew a right Spirit within me.]
