DAY THIRTY-NINE: PURIFICATION

Welcome to day thirty-nine of our forty-day retreat and reflections.

We are gradually hitting the finish line.

Yesterday, a follower of these reflections asked me why yesterday's post was very brief.

Actually, he said, "Errrmm....today's post is kinda incomplete".

I laughed as I told him the simple truth that that was all the message was.

What is more profound than informing you that the King of all kings and the Lord of all and over all things IS CALLING YOU?

We are reflecting on purification today.

Christians all over the world today are in remembrance of the ULTIMATE SACRIFICE of Jesus Christ on the Cross.

I want us to reflect on the death of Jesus Christ.
How be it, that a King would descend in human form to be humiliated by men He created by His own hands and whose very existence is made possible by the breath from His very self?

How be it that a man who knew no sin, came to carry the burden of sin of all mankind- those born and yet unborn?

He came, that we may Have life

He came, that we may be pure and without blemish.

He came that we may stand before the Throne of the Almighty with the knowledge of His sacrifice and the purity it gives us: the purity that counts us as worthy.

Lord have mercy on us.

Today, we are called to allow this Sacrifice to purify us and make us clean.

Jesus wants to make us clean.

Jesus wants to wipe our stains.

Jesus wants to purify us.

As we remember His Sacrifice, may we open up our hearts for His purification.

He is the Only One who can purify us.

He is the Only One who makes us worthy.

Jesus is Lord forever and ever.

Amen!

Thank You Jesus for showing us the way.

We are nothing without You!

It's still #SHARINGLIFE.

Don't stop sharing life!

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...

My journey with Holy Spirit

This might probably be the longest I will ever publish. Here we go... Senior High School I started my relationship with Holy Spirit in St. Louis Senior High School. At that time, my father was going through a bit of a struggle and I didn't want to be a burden to him. I had made a terrible decision to combine my chopbox with a friend's and when my provisions finished, I couldn't call home. I was sad and I remembered that daddy had told me that if I ever wanted to change and be a better human, I should start by reading the "Book of Proverbs". I came across Wisdom and I prayed for that Friendship and then someway somehow, I believed that I was never alone and that I had a Friend with me and that was when I starting fellowshiping with Holy Spirit. Prior to this, I remember when I was in class 6, I heard Someone share His heart with me. He asked me, " Why is it that when people have problems, they tell their friends about it and then their fr...
