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...

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...

An Invitation to Intimacy

I gave my life to Jesus in St. Louis Senior High School. I am very sure I had gone forward for altar calls many times before that. But St. Louis was different. I was conscious; I was aware of myself and my environment. I knew I needed God in my life. To be honest, the issues of life drove me to take God seriously. A friend had had a dream about her and me and the moment she shared it, I knew I had to let go of the old garment and take on the new. So, I joined the Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR) meetings and that was where my life changed. That encounter led me to a great relationship with the Lord. I read the Scriptures (my favourite was the Book of Psalms because I used that to pray a lot). It was in St. Louis I learnt I was never alone (why do you think I support Liverpool FC so much?). I learnt to rely on Him alone. When I entered the University, I realized a newfound freedom and observed (by the Grace of God) that if I didn’t take my spirituality seriousl...

Show up

Two weeks ago, I published a post titled, " Cornerstone " and in that post, I shared how Holy Spirit had thought me about what it means to put Jesus first in seeking Him. I talked about how by prioritizing time spent with Him, it meant that all the other areas/facets of my life would find their alignment from this one choice. Today, I bring you updates from this post and a few things to share. Before I get to it, let me say how grateful I am to God for the Grace to remember this truth and prioritize Him. Honestly, to God be all the Glory. Last week, I was reading the book of Daniel and in chapter 1, I saw how Daniel and his 3 friends chose to prioritize their devotion to God above what the Babylonian king wanted them to do. In the chapter, we see how ABBA made them 10x better than their contemporaries. So today, I want to share Daniel 1: 17-20 "17 As for these four youths, God gave them learning and s kill in all literat...
