THE RESOLVE

Hello, happy Sunday!

We will be continuing with day eleven of our reflections tomorrow.

I want to share life on a topic I call THE RESOLVE.

This is something I'm sure many, if not all, of us will relate to.

When I accepted the Lord Jesus Christ into my heart and to be the Lord of my life, I wanted to let go of the many vices that were in my life.

I attended Christian events and took part in formation programs to enable me become a better person.

To my disappointment, every time I went back home, those were the times when I would hurt my parents the more.

Every time this occurred, I always would wonder why I kept on hurting the people that loved me the most. This made me question the presence of Jesus in my life.

... It happened for years...

Then this year happened...

In the early days of this year, I attended a camp meeting [I'll tell you all about the camp some day :-) ].

It was at the camp that the Holy Spirit enlightened me by making me know that to live for Him and to be a better person on this Earth is a fight.

YES... A FIGHT

You see, my dear, the more you want to live for God, the more you've got to be prepared for battle.
Do you think that our adversary, the enemy, will sit down and watch you become the Son or Daughter of the Most High God?

Haha...NO!

Even the Bible tells us to be sober and vigilant because our adversary the devil, prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may destroy.

It was then that I resolved in my heart that no matter the number of times I would fall in my Christian walk, I would stand in the name of Jesus Christ.

I resolved that no matter the number of blows of temptations that the devil brings my way, I would rise above them and fight him with the Word of God.

I resolved to take hold of the victory I had won in Christ Jesus and live the life that has been purposed for me by my Father, the King of Kings.

Now, my dear, I ask you today....

WHAT IS YOUR RESOLVE?

Think about it.
Ask the Holy Spirit to show you the areas in your life where you need to take some decisions on.

Like Daniel in the Bible, purpose in your heart to be the difference.

In the name of Jesus Christ.

Remain blessed.

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
