Day thirty-eight: Individuality (Daddy and His Word)

I feel obliged to entreat you to seek individuality in God. 

You are a part of Jesus' Body.
But, you are single and you have your uniqueness. 

Do not attempt to use others as the benchmark for defining yourself and for determining how your life story should be.
Beloved, use the Word of God.

I have come to realise that just as there is One Body with many parts, so does the Word of God define our individuality, although we are a part of God's Body.

There is a version of the Amplified Bible which says in Ephesians 6 that Holy Spirit wields the Word of God. When we read Scripture, Holy Spirit ministers to us according to our season and what we need to know in that moment. That explains why another will read the same Scripture and be ministered to differently. Mind you, there is no contradiction in God's Word. The Word of God IS our standard and although HE ministers to us individually, He does not contradict Himself. 

Darling, learn to know the Word of God for yourself.
All you need do is to start...even if they are baby steps, they are better than nothing

As you know God's Word, you grow in the knowledge of yourself.
The Word of God Is our life's manual.
But, I have learnt that when we search Scripture, by God's Grace, we find in Scripture a portion that describes who we are and our life's purpose. 
Don't forget: we are the Body of Christ.
We are Jesus Christ on Earth. 
It is the spirit that makes man and once we have the Spirit of Jesus Christ in our Bodies, then we are Jesus Christ.

Beloved.

There is a portion of Scripture in Isaiah which resonates with my spirit and gives me an indication of what my life's purpose is. What I see happening is that the Word of Knowledge I have received from ministers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ are in conformity with what I believe that particular chapter of the Book of Isaiah says about me.

Where in Scripture do you find yourself?

Which portion of Scripture can you say Holy Spirit really taught you or ministered to you by?
Or do you think this is impossible and happens to only a select-few?
This is for all of us, baby. 
For all of us who believe.

I pray you believe.
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...

Daughter of the King by Jamie Grace ft. Morgan Harper Nichols

[Verse 1: Jamie Grace] They tell me I'm too young Tell me I'm not beautiful I'm not good enough I'm not worth anything at all They tell me I dream too much I got my head in the clouds Maybe I'm just hoping For something better than what I see now A world where every girl knows [Chorus 1: Jamie Grace] The Maker of skies, the Maker of seas The Maker of every beautiful thing He made you, He made you too The mountain high, the river wide He tells the sun when to set and rise And He made you, He made you too You're a daughter of the King So tell me, what does that make you? [Verse 2: Morgan Harper Nichols] So put your shoulders back Don't you know that you're beautiful You don't gotta tell 'em that, no Just walk around like you know And if you see our sister (if you see our sister) Looking like she forgot Like her dreams got crushed You better remind her [Chorus 1: Morgan Harper Nichols] The Maker of skies, the Maker o...

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...
