DAY SIX: PRAYERS FOR CHRISTIAN STUDENTS

Hello, welcome to our sixth day of reflections.

I am very sorry for being late today.
I hope I'm forgiven.

I was privileged to visit a senior high school last weekend to share the Word of God with the students there.

The leader of the interaction talked about Holiness, drawing reference from 1Peter 1:15-16.

As I studied the countenance of the students, I realised the confusion on the faces of some of them.

When I had the chance to speak to them, I asked them whether following what the Scripture said was difficult and they responded in the affirmative.

Reflecting on my personal experience in an institution of higher learning, I dare say that it's indeed difficult to live Holy. Especially in this era when almost everything is good and right if it's "okay".
Truth is, I actually had a course mate confess to me some days ago that he thought I didn't have feelings at all because of my way of life.

Hmmm...

Today, I want us to pray that:
1. Christian Students will gird up the loins of their minds and stand firm in their faith in Jesus Christ.
2. Christian students will be shining examples of God's Grace in their various institutions.
3. Their lights will shine so bright that men will see and give glory to the Most High.
4. Christian Students will know their purpose in life and aspire to live them out to the Glory of God and with the help of the Holy Spirit.
5. Christian Students will never compromise on the standards of Heaven, just to find favour from men.

God bless us as we intercede for our brethren in institutions of learning.

It's still #SHARINGLIFE

Let's keep 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
