DAY TWELVE: INTERCESSION: MINISTERS OF THE GOSPEL

Welcome to day twelve of our forty-day retreat and reflections.

Happy birthday to my sister and coworker in the vineyard of God, Miss Berengar Irene Duku!
It is always a joy working with you.

Today I want us to reflect on the lives of the Ministers of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

It is an honour to be called to serve in the House of the Lord.
It is quite unfortunate that recent events around the world have raised concerns about the authenticity of the shepherds leading the sheep of today's church.

When Jesus comes in His Glory, the works of these Ministers will be tested through and through.
It will be very disheartening to know that you have laboured in the vineyard of God yet on the day of judgement, Jesus will say to you that He didn't know you.

Ministry is the call to service.
Ministry is the call to selflessness.
Ministry is the call to totally relinquishing one's personal desires and will into the Hands of a Sovereign One.
Ministry is the call to totally depending on God and doing whatever pleases Him.

Shall we pray committing every Minister of the Gospel we know and may not know into the hands of the Most High.

We are asking God to never let go of them nor take His Spirit away from them.

We pray that they will possess an excellent Spirit in the name of Jesus.

For the sake of Our Father's name, we are asking God to sustain and preserve them from any harm or scandal which may have been planned against them or which their actions may bring to them.

We are praying that the Holy Spirit will direct them to only look up to Jesus, the True and Faithful Shepherd.

We commit their families also into God's hands. We are asking the Holy Spirit to continuously groom them to become shining examples of Jesus to their families.

God bless you abundantly for interceding for our shepherds.

It's still #SHARINGLIFE.

Don't stop 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
