Treasure

I woke up happy because I was visiting another church family aside mine.
Missionhouse had a Thanksgiving Service to mark our fifth anniversary celebration.
The Teacher, who is excellent in his ways, taught us excellently well.
I must say, it was a good one.

After church, I decided to pick a bus just so that I could walk from Circle to my home.
Initially, my plan was to pick a taxi but then I decided against it because I wanted to let the church breeze fall on all those I would walk past on my way home.

I boarded the bus and I got to Circle.
…and there, as I walked through the station, in my beautiful kente outfit, I felt ashamed…
I cannot express the depth of shame I felt at that moment.
I had Good News which I had received from church and as beautiful as I looked, I was walking straight home by keeping it to myself.

I felt selfish.
I felt like one who had a great treasure which was grand enough to be shared among many a people but was unwilling to share.
Ohhh… I felt really bad.

So, I began looking for an opening to share this treasure with others… or at least someone.
The station had a lot of people present.
I didn’t know who to start from.
So I asked Holy Spirit, “Please help me, Holy Spirit, to find someone.”
…it was the prayer of my heart...

As I shamelessly walked thtough the station, I got to the foot of the stairway when a young man smiled at me and said, “I like your dress.”

I said to myself, “YES!”

… I quickly returned the smile, genuinely and grateful to Holy Spirit, and engaged him in a conversation.
I asked of his name and where he was heading towards.
He told me his name and added that he worked as a bus conductor.
He said that Sundays are his off-days and so on that fateful day, he was heading to the beach for relaxation.
Then, I asked him whether he knew where his soul would go if he went to the beach and never returned.
Downcast, he answered no…

At that instance I began to share my treasure with him.
Through my personal experience with the saving power of Jesus I shared about how Jesus, the Christ, transformed me and brought His light into my darkness.

I was amazed by his openness and his curiosity.
One question led to another…by this time, we had walked from Circle to my house and back to my junction for him to board a bus back to the place I met him initially

When he was yet to leave, my new friend took a decision to serve Daddy and to channel his talent into glorifying Daddy as well.

Praise Jesus!!!

Not only that, but he also asked whether it would be possible for him to come to church with me on Sunday.

It is Saturday night, I have spoken to him.
He asked that I call him tomorrow.
I pray he stays.

…essentially, I know and believe that Holy Spirit Is The Boss.
He will perform His work according to Daddy’s plan… so I rest in this truth.

I don’t know what tomorrow holds.
…one thing I will do tomorrow is to ask Holy Spirit for His leading tomorrow too.

This treasure Is enough for everyone.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ Is so vast and enough for everyone in this world

Hallelujah!!!

Child of God, you have this treasure too.
…please, share.

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

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

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
