Day fifteen: Testimony Thursday

Hi everyone,

My sincere apologies for not posting anything yesterday. I am very sorry.

Today, I have a testimony to share to God's Glory.

I have a literature review to submit at work. The nature of the task has put me in a state where I am always always thinking about how to accomplish it. It involves a lot of reading and analytic reasoning but my ability to read and effectively assimilate the words have been a problem lately.

I didn't go to the office because I wanted to work from home: working from the office made things difficult...i don't know why.

At home, today, I was still facing the same challenges I was facing at work; inability to understand the articles, tiredness and dozing off. I was sad.

Some minutes after 11am, I didn't know what else to do and in my spirit, i heard, just worship. So, I laid myself in the sofa and I started to make up songs. I also sang worship songs that came to mind. Then I started to fellowship with Holy Spirit. I spoke to Him, made Him aware of my need for Him and in every area of my life. I was reminded of Jesus' words that Holy Spirit Will teach me all things and so I asked Him to teach me how to do any activity that came to mind.

I kept muttering these out till I slept. I woke up some minutes later and I went back to the desk to continue with my work.

My dear, I can't begin to elucidate the level of clarity I have had since then.
Things are adding up and I am hopeful I will be ready by tomorrow. To God be the Glory !!!!

Practical Christian living is what we must do.

I was blessed to be reminded to "just worship" but I ask myself, what would have been my attitude if Holy Spirit hadn't prompted me. Perhaps I would have been walking about in my home shouting "Woe is me!"

Lord, have mercy.

I pray that this serves as a reminder to me and to you as well that when things get tough, our first point of call should be Jesus Christ. I am happy I experienced this. I am so grateful to Jesus.

I pray we get closer to Him...to the point where we unconsciously turn to Him and involve Him in all things. Lord, help us to make You our default Confidante. In Your name we pray, Amen.

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...
