Day thirteen: Random thoughts

A lot of things have been racing through my mind lately.

I downloaded a number of songs online today. Some of these songs are very old and remind me of certain key episodes of my life's journey.

I downloaded this song titled, "YES" by Shekinah Glory ministry and my mind was drawn to my second year in KNUST.

In my second year, there was a young man I really admired. I really really liked him and the prospects of we becoming an item was exciting. I could tell that he liked me too.

But, there was one thing: as mature and level-headed as he was, he had the tendencies of being vituperative at any given moment. Also, I realised that he was one person who changed his principles depending on who he was engaging with. This was of concern to me but, I really really liked him.

Deep down in my heart, I knew he wasn't right for me. But, my likeness for him was clouding my judgement.

One night, I was in Lovetta's (she is my soul sister) room when YES began to play on my phone. The words of the song cut through my heart and I wept bitterly. I knew I had to let go of him because he wasn't right for me. It was heart wrenching but I knew I had to part ways with this young man. I wept so hard and my friends, who were there at that moment were even confused.

I let go of him because I knew he was going to affect my relationship with God. Over the years, sometimes, there is that small ache but I do know that I made the right decision and I don't regret it at all.

You see, the messages we preach on Sharing Life are not out of mere knowledge. Our walk with Jesus produces in us experiences which we share for the edification of the brethren.

I am sure there are many more sacrifices to be made. Jesus Is Lord. He will not bring before us anything we cannot handle.

Be assured of this:

Whatever thing or person you would need to let go of for the sake of your relationship with Jesus is worth it.  You will not understand the magnitude of the sacrifice until you get to the other side of your obedience and that is where you would realise that it was the best decision you made.

I pray for you today that you will receive strength in your innerman to take the needed decisions for growth.
I pray that you will find conviction on what is required of you in your relationship with Jesus Christ and the corresponding obedience to carry them out accordingly.
Finally, I pray that after you have let go, you will receive enough clarity to keep you focused as you press on in your relationship with Jesus. I pray you don't look back after you have let go.

In Jesus name,
Amen.

Love,
Sharing Life.

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...
