Yeah we have a very convinced audience. We are sticking with the old colors for the new season.

Alright, another thing I need your perspective on.

I'm thinking of starting the third mural of the unity project in the coming week. If you've got any suggestions for the theme please do tell me here. The themes should relate to what's happening in the world right now or something unique but meaningful.

The themes I am thinking of are:
1. Technology — there is just an explosion of tech gadgets, inventions, robotics, AI and just so much more to explore through art
2. Space — space is vast and wide with so much 'space' for creativity. From stars, planets, comets, UFOs, galaxies, rockets and so much more
3. Apocalypse — there's so much crazy and terrifying stuff happening in the world. From fictional zombie stuff to real-life wildfires and more.
4. Abstract — this's just for the uniqueness of the mural. How abstract can you make your art pieces and connect them all. Idk how this'll turn out but it's exciting.

For everyone new here, please do checkout our previous murals in unitymural.art

😂 this's hilarious, maybe, just maybe, we might get good products for their actual prices now. (Or can go the other way)

Uno reverse, world edition.

It makes no sense for great things to be easy, keep going, you got this! Have God by your side and the journey will be worth it.

Someone said "For a tech person you're very popular" a while back and cracks me up 😅

It's sadly very true. Doesn't look like it at first, but you quickly do lose sight.

My mentor was very very very wise, you know what she did, she spent her time with new Christians as well as matured ones and her peers. That always made her have sight over everything.

Often Christians spend too much time with one group. Either with the most mature ones only that they lose touch with the youth, or with new Christians only but never grow enough to mentor them, or just their peers and only have limited perspective.

This's something I did in my tech and career life but never in my Spiritual life. And after her it's something I apply in my spiritual life as well.

Drained of inspiration, new questions, energy, excitement? Then new christians are set aflame so you can be burnt with them. Need answers and deeper perspectives? The mature ones have you. Need support and perspective? Your peers got you. Doing this is very wise.

You know what's worse than a non-believer who's against your Christian journey?

A christian who's unphased and envious of you.

For the love of God, you've gotta be extremely happy for new believers. Don't say things like "it'll fade", "you're in your beginner era" or crap like that. Just because you're bored with it doesn't mean the Christian Experience is boring for everyone else.

Not to mention, a new Christian is a gem of a person. Infact they're one of the best people to be with to get your spark back and hear how caring and close God is to new comers.

Another lesson I've learnt with my mentor is to understand the extent of your connection and purpose.

Often times when God sends you to someone or connects you with them, there's a deadline to it. After you've done and completed what you've been sent to do, you don't have to be there any longer, you've got more to do elsewhere.

Now I know this isn't easy. Specially if you've cultivated a good friendship but remember that if you feel deep down that the task is done, and this's something you have to talk to God about, then you should peacefully, and lovingly part ways.

And this is a great thing.

This one's one of the most important things I've learnt.

Before you go out after others, you should work on yourself first and have a good spiritual and social life first. This's a biblical concept obviously. And it makes complete sense.

If I come and mentor you, but all you hear about me is my shady secrets and sins then that definitely does affect what I say to you. So it's better to have a good and healthy relationship with society and God first and then go persue others when God instructs you.

Nother thing to do is to have a clearly defined boundary and identity of the connection you are forming with the person you're talking to.

First few things to get right is that the person you're preaching to / mentoring is a Child of God first and foremost. They are not for you to best friend, date, do sexual stuff with or even casually flirt.

That being said tho you should help in every aspects also. Not just spiritual stuff. You should give career, education, social life advice and whatever else you're good at. This really boosts their acceptance of you and makes the content of your spiritual advice more dependable.

While loving everyone is a big thing to aim for, when you begin your Christian journey, you should start off loving Christians and let that love grow.

Often times most people's views towards Christians are more messed up than others. So address this one. And once you start sharing God's love with Christians it's even easier to share that with others.

I personally was not fond of most Christians. I had a really skewed pov of them. Infact I'd choose a non-believer any day of the week than any Christian. But that completely changed.

Now my heart is given to Christians. Just to serve them. For me I am not seeing it as just a random group of people or anything like that, I see it as God's chosen kids. I see my self as the older brother or servant hired by God to nurture and care for them. And that helps.

Highly encourage this.

People see being a telegram creator and joining our community as a way to learn something, gain an audience, build a community, or be part of the crew or something.

While all that are some of the perks, in my perspective what I see is an effort to increase our collective intelligence.

Pre and post the community, there is a clear difference in taste, effort, and intelligence level of everyone involved throughout the community.

And that's such a great thing. So if you've got a bright mind and a unique perspective in life. Doesn't have to be tech or spiritual only, could be anything so create a channel, engage with the community and join in making everyone smarter.

⚠️

Dagmawi Babi is literally a new Christian. He was converted almost 2 years ago. There, is, absolutely, so much, he doesn't know or is aware of so do know that.

What he posts is simply his own experience and his own lesson. Dagmawi doesn't want to be your personal online pastor or mentor.

Stop considering him as some kind of dedicated or super spiritual, better than you kind of Christian. He has his own temptations and so much growing to do and take His advices just as advices and not like scripture.

Tho I do my best to post what I absolutely believe in, researched, and asked about please do keep this prefixed at every single spiritual post here.

⁵ በፍጹም ልብህ በእግዚአብሔር ታመን፥ በራስህም ማስተዋል አትደገፍ፤
⁶ በመንገድህ ሁሉ እርሱን እወቅ፥ እርሱም ጎዳናህን ያቀናልሃል።
⁷ በራስህ አስተያየት ጠቢብ አትሁን፤ እግዚአብሔርን ፍራ፥ ከክፋትም ራቅ፤
⁸ ይህም ለሥጋህ ፈውስ ይሆንልሃል፥ ለአጥንትህም ጠገን።
⁹ እግዚአብሔርን ከሀብትህ አክብር፥ ከፍሬህም ሁሉ በኵራት፤
¹⁰ ጐተራህም እህልን ይሞላል፥ መጥመቂያህም በወይን ጠጅ ሞልታ ትትረፈረፋለች።

⁵ Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
⁶ In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
⁷ Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
⁸ It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
⁹ Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
