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...

Day eleven: The Authentic Hgh

This morning, I was pondering over a video Tabitha Brown posted on instagram a few days ago ( link here ). In her video, she was talking about how people were always sending her Dms to tone down on how much she speaks of Jesus in all her work. She said a lot of meaningful things which you will find in the link I have attached. My Quiet Time last week Friday was sourced from Timothy 4:8 which reads " For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. " It was a super "Aha" moment for me because I found a scripture from the Bible which assures me that I will profit a great deal from my resolve, to live for God, both in the now life and in the life which is to come. How cool is that?! Now that the premise for today's post has been laid, let me tell you what the authentic high is all about. This is going to get personal... it is the only way I can properly relay the mes

February 17th - ...but We used to be friends....

Have you ever felt tears well up in your chest so hard and heavy that you know you could easily burst into heaves of tears in any given moment? I had one of such moments today. The first reading at Mass today was from the Book of Jeremiah 17:5-8 and there is a portion that talks about how accursed is the man who puts his trust in man and in his own strength. It talks about the dryness such a man encounters and how this man will never see prosperity. I was convicted by this Scripture because it showed so clearly that the condition of my heart has been like one of such a man. Why am I saying so? Aside getting my second degree, I am trying to be intentional about my Spiritual growth and about music ministry in church. Basically, I am trying to be intentional about becoming. ("Becoming" is the expression I give to my quest to attain my fullest expression as His daughter). ...but that has just been the problem... "I am trying to become" Having th

Day One: One Good Turn Deserves Another

It feels so good to come back to writing, especially for this series! The 40-day reflections have been the most intensive seasons of my writing life. It is beautiful to observe how in the beginning, the writings seem rusty and then as they days go by, they begin to flow freely. After such a long break, I wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes the experience but hey, miracles happen every day! Praise the Lord! Today, I am sharing on kindness: There is this saying, “ One Good Turn Deserves Another ”, which in simple terms means: if someone does you a favour, you should take the chance to repay it . If you live by this proverb, you may do good to others with the expectation that when it is your turn to be shown such kindness, it is reciprocated in an equal or greater measure. I’m not sure that’s entirely a good posture for us as believers. I’m reminded of the piece of Scripture in which Jesus asks us to particularly do good to those we know will be unable to repay us
