REFLECTIONS FROM ELMINA. Pt. 1

I had the privilege of spending the weekend in Elmina, located in the Central region of Ghana.

The joy of waking up to the roaring of the sea waves was simply indescribable (I think I should do more of such trips).

I learnt a great deal from the place. It was also an opportunity for me to marvel at the creation of my Father and a reminder to me, of the exquisite masterpiece He has created- me!

You know, many times we expect certain events to play out in a particular way and to our disappointment, they go in the exact opposite direction.

I have learnt that God is who He is- God.

Man may see the occurrence of something as a total failure but to Him, the film is rolling out just perfectly.

In these times, most especially, I am learning to say nothing. Saying nothing, not because I have nothing to say, but because of the still small voice which tells me to be silent and watch.

I will always say, God is working.

In the end, everything will be perfect according to His purpose.

My dear one, whenever you feel like throwing in the towel as a result of expectations which have not been met, please don't: wipe your sweat and praise the One who has given you life.

Trust God

Praise Him

Be patient

" Oh but I have done that. I have been quiet, patient, and trusting. still no show! I give up!"

Don't stop!!!

Above all, guard your mouth against negative confessions which may counter all thee good things you have gained as far as you have come.

As always, the Holy Spirit is ever willing to teach you and to guide. He is the Only One who gives the best signals- He is that still small voice.

YOU ARE GREATLY LOVED BY HIM!

It's still #sharinglife

God bless you!

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...

Day six: The perfect start

Waking up to pray has been extremely hard to do in the past few days. For some time now, I wake up in the mornings feeling more tired than I went to bed. And so although my eyes are open, it is a real struggle getting out of the bed. Initially, this morning, I was feeling bad about it. After a few minutes, I resolved to pray from my bed. I did that… and ended up sleeping at a point . It was better than nothing. That moment taught me that the perfect start is the one that happens from exactly where you are. There is a reason why God wants this relationship with us: aside from the fact that it is a love thing, God also knows that we truly and sincerely cannot make it in this life without Him. He Is not looking for a perfect daughter neither is He searching for a perfect son. He Is perfect and His perfection is enough for all of us. I remember those times when I would tell my spiritual father I was struggling to pray. He would say to me: Why don’t you ask the Lord to help you? Why d...
