Vals day blues

Happy three-in-one day!
Of course, and happy four-in-one for the football lovers?

If I had anything to say on this day of vals and chocolate and ashes, what would it be?


1. Remember Who loves you to the core.

The One Who created you loved you even before you were conceived. He carefully formed you...and made you unique. 
If today, you doubt that, you should ask Him. He will tell you. Daddy will show you through His Word, the Bible of Who He Is, Who you are, and how much love He has for you.

2. Learn and grow to love yourself. 

I, for one, did not love me when I was younger. 
I hated myself and I didn't like the face I saw whenever I looked into the mirror. 
I saw this ugly girl who was just not correct. 

But through Jesus Christ, and His Holy Spirit, I love myself. I talk to myself. I look into a mirror and I properly address myself. I laugh, I cry, I pat myself at the back and I give it to me whenever I am not doing the right thing. I ask myself questions: why am I doing what I am doing? I encourage myself. I hug myself. I am my friend. 

I couldn't have come to number 2 if number 1 wasn't in the picture.
You see, my friend, it is God Who gives us the ability to love ourselves. 

the devil deals in counterfeits and that is where people in the world, who claim to love themselves, touch themselves wrongly and masturbate and engage in all forms of sexual and disruptive acts. 

Jesus Christ helps us to appreciate ourselves enough to desire to make the right choices in life.
Because of the love He has bestowed upon me for me, I am able to stand up and not hurt myself or allow myself to be hurt. I am able, by is Grace, to stand up for myself against anyone who will try to harm me...my soul, my body and my spirit. Jesus makes this possible. 

You would realise that whenever you are unable to love yourself properly, people who come into your life are at liberty to treat you in whichever manner they think you ought to be treated. Some people tend to treat us how we treat ourselves. Lisa Nichols often says, "You are the mirror of how you ought to be treated". It doesn't come easy, my friend, but Jesus Christ makes all thing possible. Hallelujah!

3. Learn how to love others.
You can only give to others what you have and when you are running out, make sure you go back to your Source in number 1, to be refilled. Holy Spirit fills us up with all the love we need, to love on people. It is possible if we ask Him. 
Do you believe? Jesus makes it possible.


My dear, these are three things I want to share with you today.

Please remember that by ourselves, we can do nothing. But with Jesus Christ through His Holy Spirit, we can know Who our true Father Is, understand His love for us, be enlightened to love and appreciate ourselves, and be equipped to pour this love out on others. Be blessed be blessed be blessed. My heart is so full after typing this piece.

God bless you Sammy, for the push.

Blessings,
Sharing Life.

An Invitation to Intimacy

  I gave my life to Jesus in St. Louis Senior High School.  I am very sure I had gone forward for altar calls many times before that. But St. Louis was different. I was conscious; I was aware of myself and my environment. I knew I needed God in my life. To be honest, the issues of life drove me to take God seriously. A friend had had a dream about her and me and the moment she shared it, I knew I had to let go of the old garment and take on the new. So, I joined the Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR) meetings and that was where my life changed.  That encounter led me to a great relationship with the Lord. I read the Scriptures (my favourite was the Book of Psalms because I used that to pray a lot). It was in St. Louis I learnt I was never alone (why do you think I support Liverpool FC so much?). I learnt to rely on Him alone.  When I entered the University, I realized a newfound freedom and observed (by the Grace of God) that if I didn’t take my spirituality seriousl...

30 things I love about you: pt. 10-12

Hi babe,  6 more days to go. We thank ABBA for everything.  10. I love the way we resolve conflict. I truly appreciate the posture with which you approach conflicts. Thank you for showing me that your posture is always to do what is needed for us to move forward. Thank you for showing that your goal isn't to find who is at fault and then crucify the person but rather to identify how to build from there and keep building. It took me a while to know this and thjs knowledge gives me the peace to resolve issues with you. I pray ABBA'S blessings for you, always. 11. I love how you give me room. You don't hold me back. You push and keep pushing me to strive for excellence and to be the best. Thank you for pushing me to start Doux! Thank you for pushing me to take my place. I encountered a man, whom I thought I loved, who was more concerned about me putting my ministry and dreams aside to pursue his. He never encouraged me if it didn't fit his "ideas". One of the mai...

30 things I love about you: pt. 7-9

Happy Monday, baby!  Can’t believe we are a week away. I am nervous… in a good day. I pray you have a great day on that day.  7. I love the way you pray for me  Baaaabe! Thank you for always praying for me. I get to see your heart every time you pray for me. On the hardest days, you are there to cover me in prayer. On the happy days, you are there to thank ABBA with me. Thank you. I love it when you pray. Bruh! You pray so well, by ABBA’s Grace. I love you. Thank you.  8. I love how you seek opportunities to correct my childhood traumas.  I remember that one time I shared the story of how we used to manage food in my home as a child. I told you about how our stew was always little with a lot of rice or yam or whatever. I remember how on that day I shared this with you, we were having lunch at your parents’. I recall how you went to the kitchen and fetched so much stew for me. It meant a lot and on so many occasions, I have seen you seek opportunities to correct ...
