DAY SEVEN: THE CLOSET LIFE

Hello, welcome to day seven of our forty-day retreat and reflections!

I was watching the movie WAR ROOM some weeks ago.

After watching the movie, I decided to reflect on my life drawing references from the movie I'd just seen.

I began to understand the reason for my struggles with myself.
I'd been so busy trying to fix myself that I'd lost sight of who my Creator is and His ability to make changes in my life according to His will and purpose for me.

I understood that He is the only One I am to share my deepest fears, my weaknesses and my frustrations to.
I understood, by the help of the Holy Spirit that He was the only One who can give me strength to go on with my life.

I also felt the Holy Spirit calling me to a closet life.
A life of constant communion with Him.
A life of independently depending on God.
A life of total trust and surrender to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

Today, I want you to ask yourself...

1. Do you desire to experience the Holy Spirit for yourself?
2. Do you see yourself very far from the will of God?
3. Do you want this closet life?
4. Do you sense the Holy Spirit calling you to a closet life?

Whatever the answer may be, the Holy Spirit is right where you are.

Talk to Him....please.... He will listen.

I pray passionately for you....that you will have a passionate relationship with the Holy Spirit.

God bless you!

It's still #SHARINGLIFE.

Let's start sharing...

Go With God

When I started Sharing Life, my intention was to put out what I knew Holy Spirit was teaching me. This was what He asked me to do. It wasn't to parade myself as an all-figured-out girl who was on her way to becoming a preacher. It was a journey of life I was learning and one which I had received the go-ahead to let the world in on. Somewhere on this road, I was seen as a "Woman of God" and put on this high and mighty pedestal which wasn't me. And you know what, in such moments, it is so easy to get carried away by the accolades of men to the point where you lose sight of your journey, where you are and decide to serve the expectations of others... thereby neglecting your own journey and growth. After taking a very long break from active writing, I have on numerous occasions attempted to start writing again but the fear of being put on that pedestal has stopped me so many times. I am a child of God. I am a girl on a journey. I don't have it all f...

Daughter of the King by Jamie Grace ft. Morgan Harper Nichols

[Verse 1: Jamie Grace] They tell me I'm too young Tell me I'm not beautiful I'm not good enough I'm not worth anything at all They tell me I dream too much I got my head in the clouds Maybe I'm just hoping For something better than what I see now A world where every girl knows [Chorus 1: Jamie Grace] The Maker of skies, the Maker of seas The Maker of every beautiful thing He made you, He made you too The mountain high, the river wide He tells the sun when to set and rise And He made you, He made you too You're a daughter of the King So tell me, what does that make you? [Verse 2: Morgan Harper Nichols] So put your shoulders back Don't you know that you're beautiful You don't gotta tell 'em that, no Just walk around like you know And if you see our sister (if you see our sister) Looking like she forgot Like her dreams got crushed You better remind her [Chorus 1: Morgan Harper Nichols] The Maker of skies, the Maker o...

Day six: The perfect start

Waking up to pray has been extremely hard to do in the past few days. For some time now, I wake up in the mornings feeling more tired than I went to bed. And so although my eyes are open, it is a real struggle getting out of the bed. Initially, this morning, I was feeling bad about it. After a few minutes, I resolved to pray from my bed. I did that… and ended up sleeping at a point . It was better than nothing. That moment taught me that the perfect start is the one that happens from exactly where you are. There is a reason why God wants this relationship with us: aside from the fact that it is a love thing, God also knows that we truly and sincerely cannot make it in this life without Him. He Is not looking for a perfect daughter neither is He searching for a perfect son. He Is perfect and His perfection is enough for all of us. I remember those times when I would tell my spiritual father I was struggling to pray. He would say to me: Why don’t you ask the Lord to help you? Why d...
