DAY THIRTY-SIX: STUDENT REPENTANCE

Hello!

It's day thirty-six of our forty-day retreat and reflections.

We are reflecting on student repentance today.

Why this topic today?

Maybe it is because this is where I find myself presently.

There was a time I couldn't help but ask myself why I sometimes felt out of place in school.

I do not mean to say that I am perfect for I am in no way close to perfection.

It's just that after entering into a relationship with Jesus Christ, I realised that my life wasn't mine in the first place, to be living anyhow.

It also took a good friend of mine to re-echo that into my mind when it seemed like I was losing focus.

I am calling all of us to repentance because I sense that it is about time we realised that our living on this Earth has nothing to do with our desires or our pleasures but because of the Primary will of a Sovereign One.

We search our hearts and we see the decay that is hidden in the deepest depths of it...even in the Christian student-body.

It is sad that we find ourselves in school only to compromise on our values and principles which have been passed down to us by godly parents, teachers, and shepherds.

Only God can save us.

That is why He never stopped calling the Israelites back to Himself.

That is the same reason why he sent His Only Son, Jesus Christ, to bridge the gap that was caused by sin.

It gets difficult.
It gets tough.
Sometimes, you just want to bend a little bit.

I believe without a trace of doubt that it is only Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit who can make us the true salt of this Earth and light unto our peers and colleagues.

The Holy Spirit is very able to mold us into God's best.

Repentance comes with a conscious decision and also by guidance from the Holy Spirit through contrition.

You can go back to God if you make up your mind to.

What do you say?

Are you willing?

The Holy Spirit is ever ready to help you out my dear.

God bless you!

It's still #SHARINGLIFE

Don't stop sharing life!

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
