DAY THIRTY-FOUR: INTERCESSION FOR BABIES

Hello,

Wonderful weekend to us all.

We are reflecting on babies today: babies in the womb and those newly born.

Isn't it a joy to see a little child?

We'll maybe it is because I am a woman but it is such a pleasant thing to see life exuding from that cute little being.

Personally, I am of the view that no child is born evil unless it be the will of God.
Even with that, we are assured of the goodness of our Father and hence, we cannot say that He would create an evil child and place that child in the womb of another.

Our duty as mothers is not to only see to the physical wellbeing of our babies by being religious with our antenatal and postnatal visits to the hospital.

It is not entirely about we taking our short walking exercises seriously and eating all the healthy foods.

We have a duty to also protect the spiritual wellbeing of our babies especially when they are in our wombs.

We must speak life into their lives as they grow inside of us.

We are Christian Women and we are called to be different.

Let us build up the spirituality of our babies.
We must pray for them and with them.

We are mothers and their future depends on us greatly.

As mothers with unplanned pregnancies, we must fight the spirit that compels us to abort these 'unwanted' babies.
The lives of great destinies are put on the line every time these atrocities take place.

I have a friend who decided to fight against the status quo of aborting her baby.
By God's Grace, I have been privileged to see how great the little life growing inside of her is affecting her own life and especially, her relationship with God.

Mothers provide a shield against the attacks of the evil one against their babies.
Locate a praying mother and she will tell you of the many battles she has fought on behalf of her children.

Fathers are not left out of this duty.

Fathers are the overall human protection of the family.
Fathers are called to lead both physically and spiritually.

Sometimes, it is tiring for some mothers to fight spiritually to their utmost capability.

That is where the Godly man comes in to fight and to build up the woman through support and encouragement to also take up the mantle of praying for their babies.

The walking exercises are good: as you walk, don't worry about anything or bother yourself with so many thoughts.
Make your walk a prayer one.
Devote yourself to talking to your babies whiles they are inside of you and as they come out into this world.

There is a lot more I would like to say but let's just start with this.

It's still #SHARINGLIFE.

Don't stop sharing life!

Please don't forget to share your thoughts as well.

God bless!

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
