Welcome to LiV.
LiV is a ministry to those that are desperate to live in spiritual victory but are clueless on how to go about it!
It is horrifying that some genuine seekers of spiritual freedom end up enticed, trapped, and bound to fruitless groups disguised as places of worship. These groups are led by people of corrupt minds whose aim is power, influence, and monetary gain (1 Timothy 6:5). 2 Peter 2:3 (NIV) In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping. The leading spirit behind doctrines taught in these groups is not about the state of spiritual hopelessness or conflict within self, that trails a human life since birth, but unfortunately it is about prosperity and prosperity only! Though in many countries prosperity gospel has a mass appeal, it is nevertheless one of the causes of the reduction of churchgoers in the first world!

Are you battling a Narcissist? Please read this book. My aim is not to profit from the book but to expose the evil behind the character!
The origin of human conflict with self or others is spiritual, and is from an inborn adamic rebellion that was inherited or acquired through ignorance. Earthlings are unable to attain a state of true happiness due to deception that comes wrapped in human ideologies, such as the embrace of worldliness, the tendency to dutifully entertain the emptiness of religion, or the myopic acceptance of inherited culture that idolize the created instead of the Creator!
Curses and material wealth can be inherited, but a holy spiritual nature, that stands against dark spiritual forces, is not inherited from parents, it is not acquired through training, nor is it passed on genetically. It is spiritually birthed in humility, within us, through the power of The Holy Spirit!
Due to an inborn rebellion in our souls, this statement may sound weird or absurd to the undelivered! That’s why humans are in general, prone to spiritual defeat! Humans are by default, born spiritually dead!
Unless the spiritual part of us comes to life, that is, it is born, the soul (the real you), will always be out of reach from any spiritual help!
You could compare the scenario to a cellphone that has lost its network because the receiver is dead or missing!
When your soul cannot be reached by the the Author of life itself that is The Holy Spirit, you will wonder around from one doctrine to another, from one group to another, move from one relationship to another, or hop from one activity to another, unconsciously looking for an illusive spiritual connection, or rest, that the soul badly needs!
Your spirit (when alive) which is compared to a wireless receiver, connects your soul to the spiritual world of the Holy Spirit! The spirit gives the soul a new channel of information! We call such a person whose spirit is alive, spiritual, else if your soul’s only channel of communication is what the body provides, then you are spiritually dead! You are by nature, carnal, soulish, and cannot please God!
Let’s note that spirituality can be counterfeited through soulish powers but such an environment lacks peace and spiritual victory!
A genuine spiritual birth in a human being marks the beginning of spiritual victories over habitual sins! Why? A spiritual person is reachable by the Holy Spirit who is our spiritual Helper against evil forces!
The hallmark of being alive spiritually is a noticeable gain in spiritual freedom! This is a virtue that creates an environment for further spiritual growth, and ushers into one’s life, a trail of spiritual blessings! Spiritual freedom also brings clarity in current or future endeavors! It delivers a crushing blow to the spirit of fear and confusion, normally associated with a soul that relies on the body and human “cleverness” (brain)!
Socially, a soul (person) that is leading a life of spiritual freedom is able to break away from the enslaving powers behind ridiculous human cultures, religious traditions, forces behind blind allegiance to groups, and carrying out of rituals or practices, that bring no spiritual benefit to the soul! “Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.” Ephesians 4:14(NIV).
A life of spiritual freedom, automatically gifts you (the soul) with security, confidence, calmness, fearlessness, unconditional love for others, and an indescribable peace.
The planet is full of people who are confused, trusting, and like sheep, faithful followers of questionable doctrines, cultures, or groups. These people, face a bleak future on earth from an unfortunate and imposed religious beliefs by ‘wolves’ in sheep’s clothing! The world has filled their minds with deception concerning who God is! God, the Creator of all in the cosmos, is portrayed to them in a bad light. He is presented as mean, demanding, loveless, dictatorial, a guilting slave master, hungry for their finances and personal freedom! “…And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused.” Romans 1:21(NLT).
This imposed mindset is a deception about the nature of our Creator. God is loving, patient, non condemning and extremely caring, even to the minor details! He owns everything, and does not need to guilt you to get resources or your personal freedom! Giving is good and should be done willingly! It is the ‘robbers’, some in religious regalia, that plan to isolate you, enslave you, use your time and resources while they do nothing themselves but talk doom and condemnation to the non compliant! These brazen and shameless ‘leaders’, ignore the purity of the message of human redemption from sin! Instead, they preach human wisdom, self-edification or the trappings of material wealth.
LiV, is a ministry to genuine seekers of God! Persons, who want to be redeemed from sin, but unfortunately, have found themselves shockingly chained in bondages disguised as religion, from “…people of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain…” 1Timothy 6:5 (NIV).
No wonder, many established religious groups, lack in true love, honesty, and spiritual purpose! Consequently, they are increasingly being shunned by the fresh younger generation of humans, who can see through their deceptive masks!
Therefore, let’s yearn for the spiritual gift of discernment that will help us see deception a mile away. Then, we will be capable of avoiding the wrong path of association, and fellowship. When this happens, you will let go many things or people that crowd your life, or waste your precious time!

I feel privileged to have gone through long painful moments of spiritual discovery. Moments when my only human help came from inspired materials that I read from honest persons who were in no doubt living right and were at peace with themselves and the Creator.
I therefore decided not to ever publish what is spiritually dead but only what can bring life to others!
LiV has many articles on spiritual victories or growth and links to some spiritual books whose content will enrich your spiritual life.
Included, is my personal story that you may find interesting to read.
