EPHESIANS CHAPTER ONE

I was sharing the first Chapter of Ephesians with a little girl.
Unfortunately, she is unable to read so I read it out to her in English and explained to her in twi.

The first Chapter talks about the gift of adoption we have received in Christ Jesus, the seal of the Holy Spirit in our lives and Paul's profound prayer that all men may attain the fullness of knowledge of Jesus Christ.

After explaining to her the person of the Holy Spirit and His ability to equip us to do all things, I asked her what she would do if she had the gift of the Holy Spirit in her life.

My little girl said that she would take care of the sick, be a good child at home, go to church often and also get God to provide her needs.

This might seem as nothing to some of us since we focus on 'greater' things.

...this little girl chose to put others first before thinking about her own benefits.

In her prayer, which according to her is her first, she asked for God to make her a better person and child.

Beloved, our ability to accept the gift of adoption God gives us is by Grace.

Our acceptance opens doors for us because we come to live as Royals with very great treasuries.

.....and The King lavishes all these on us holding nothing back.

We can't afford to miss this.

The Gift of the Holy Spirit.
The Same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead.
The Spirit of the King of Kings.

My Goodness!

We can't miss this.

Like Paul, I sincerely wish that we may come to the fullness of knowledge of Jesus Christ.

It takes consistency to grow in this knowledge.

Shall we pray:

Lord Holy Spirit, thank You for this inheritance we have found in Christ Jesus.
We ask that You help us remain consistent in our walk with You.
Humble us Lord, that we may grow in the knowledge of Jesus Christ.
We thank You and we bless Your Holy name for Your Faithfulness to us.
In Jesus' name.

Amen!

It's still #SHARINGLIFE

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...

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...

3 Things I Admire About King David

Hello Sharing Life fam! How is the going? I hope everything is kosher. One of the things I am most thankful for is to be a member of the Word & Spirit Feasts family. At the Word & Spirit Feasts, we have learnt how important structure is as we endeavour to be all that ABBA has called us to be. One of the principles that make a good spiritual structure is Bible Reading. I just finished 1Kings Chapter 2 and would like to share 3 things I admire about King David. 1. King David did not entertain guilt and condemnation I have learnt that one thing the devil specialises in is condemnation. He is the accuser of the brethren for a reason. His commitment is in ensuring that we stay feeling bad for wrong done. One thing my spiritual father would say is: the devil will accuse of not doing the right thing and when you do the right thing, he will accuse you that it is not enough. That is what he does best. But, we see in 2Samuel 11 tha...
