While in the office busy with the day normal routine, I felt the inner man of me having some thoughts, here I put it into writing and I believe this piece will bless your soul.
I called it
'Spatial Intelligence and Spiritual Imagination'.
"The children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light" (Luke 16:8), in that they use their natural talents and gifts to advance the kingdom of darkness while we are only busy singing and shouting.
In ancient Israel during the era of King Saul, the bible records that "Now there was no blacksmith to be found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, "Lest the Hebrew make swords or spears." But all the Israelites would go down to the Philistines to sharpen each man's plowshare hare, his mattock, his axe, and his sickle; and the charge for a sharpening was a pim for the plowshares, the mattocks, the forks, and the axes, and to set the points of the goads.
So it came about, on the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan. But they were found with Saul and Jonathan his son" (1 Samuel 13 vs. 19-22, NKJV).
While the children of God were busy playing church, the "Philistines" through the power of imagination and creativity were moving into strategic places in society so that it doesn't matter how loud they shout and even prayed; at the end, they would have to come to them to sharpen their plowshares, axes, etc. In other words, the Philistines would still run their lives, communities, and nations.
This generation is experiencing the exact re-occurrence of the quandary the ancient Israelites found themselves in. The very fabric of our society is seriously transmuting into the systems of the kingdom of darkness, and we citizens of the kingdom of Heaven seem to ignore our social responsibilities and divine assignment thereby relinquishing the world into the hands of the power of darkness.
The Church (citizens of the kingdom of God) had great dominion and influence in every facet of society in the 19th and 20th centuries because they owned and operated their own systems (schools, hospitals, financial institution, etc.). Hence, governments and politicians valued their presence in society and gave them a vital voice in the affairs and direction of the nations. Bear in mind that he who can see and experience the future through the power of imagination before it arrives, steers the course of the world thereby controlling the systems of society and consequently influencing the destiny of the people and nations.
Multinational organizations like BMW, Mercedes, Microsoft, Sony, Apple, Ford, etc., pay people billions of dollars just to capture the future 20 to 50 years ahead through the power of their imagination. No wonder these companies run our societies and its affairs today and also command the attention and respect of governments all over the world.
Leading in any sphere of civilisation and taking dominion in the world requires stepping into the future long before any other person or organization gets there.
- Spatial Intelligence is the cognitive studio where visions and dreams are rehearsed
- It's also a very powerful tool used to capture visions and dreams into the present.
- Without spatial intelligence vision cannot be visualised (seen in your mind's eye).
- While spatial intelligence produces Imagination, it is also the mental component that brings colour and zest to your vision.
- "I am imagination. I can see what the eyes cannot see. I can hear what the ears cannot hear. I can feel what the heart cannot feel."
Challenge: what place is your imagination and spatial intelligence.
