Hello there,
Today, I will be sharing on two different lessons which I have received today. I pray these bless you as they have done me.
The first lesson is this: you get life by pouring out life.
It is no surprise to me that Jesus assures His followers that whoever loses his life for His sake will gain it back. Bishop Jakes made a statement in his book, "the Lady, her Lover, her Lord"(wow, I just received insight on this title this very moment! I will write about this shortly). In his book, Bishop Jakes basically explains that the healing of our pain is in telling others about it in a bid to help heal theirs.
This is a spiritual mystery I have been Graced to believe: the more I clean the wounds of my neighbour, the more my wounds heal. I believe Jesus Christ will increase my understanding on this truth.
I came to work this morning and I wasn't as energetic as I was yesterday. Whiles performing my tasks, I decided to reach out to a few people I know (nothing over the top; I sent them a message and wished them well for the day). Afterwards, one of those messages led to a conversation which I believe Holy Spirit has used to put a piece of my life's puzzle together.
Dear, the devil likes it when we remain in our shells and are unable to reach out. The devil thrives in secrecy. In coming out of my not-so-good state and feeling uncomfortable in a minute, I have recceived guidance for what would have taken me a while to uncover. God Is Good!
The second lesson is this: God Is Faithful
Over a while now, I have been asking the Lord for direction regarding my purpose and what it is I am to do in His Body. In the conversation I spoke of earlier in the first lesson, I was asked what my career objective was. I found myself answering in a particular direction and I realised, "This is God!"
I went to the bathroom (my special place in the office) a moment ago and I thought to myself: God has been Faithful from the very beginning.
Holy Spirit brought to my attention my journey from basic school till now. He showed me how He had led me to take certain decisions (some of which I never knew or saw coming) and how they had brought me to this point.
You see, I had been praying to Daddy to show me where my place is for awhile but I had failed to recall that whenever I came to the point where I had to choose between right and left, He had always provided me with the answer. And, in those times that I had chosen wrongly, He had made them right. (Oh Jesus! My heart is burning right now).
Daddy deals with us in steps. He will always give His babies direction for every step. He deals with us one obedience after the other. He doesn't always give the full detail. He gives us what is needed for the season and our duty, is to obey and follow through till we get to the next point. Lord knows that I do not know how to be obedient. Most times, I think I am not obedient. But this is what I have believed: Holy Spirit IS the only reason why I have made it this far. He knows me too well and He knows my weaknesses; they are all written in His palms. My days are always before Him. If ever I have obeyed, it is because He blessed me with that ability to do so. He Is my ability. Hallelujah!
I am grateful and my heart is exploding in my chest right now. I am overwhelmed at the thought and knowing that He has always been right here...with me. Oh Lord, please forgive the days when I have questioned Your heart concerning me. I am sorry I have not trusted You enough. I am sorry for always pushing You away by my anxieties. I am sorry. I believe that Jesus Christ has a plan for me. I see it. I hold on to this truth because it is true.
Now, I do not know how it will happen but, I know it will and when I need His directions, He will get me there. Praise Jesus!
I am so grateful. Lord, I am eternally grateful.
Dear Child,
Are you struggling with obedience?
Let me tell you that most times, I don't know what it is or how it is to obey. But, this one thing I do: I ask Holy Spirit to help me obey Daddy's directions.
Sometimes, I don't trust myself. Most times, I don't trust my ability to take the right decisions. That is why I am always asking Holy Spirit...in the silence of my heart, to guide me. I can't do it on my own. I can't figure out my life's purpose on my own and certainly, you can't either.
But God...
He gives us freely, His Holy Spirit to help us and guide us to follow Daddy's will.
In the midst of the storm, God's voice will silence everything and we will hear Him distinctly. Jesus Is Lord. As Pastor Benji puts it, "The voice of God is our security".
It is well.
Love,
Sharing Life.
