Day twenty: you are not defined by your past

Many times we identify ourselves by the mistakes we have made in our past.

I asked a lady to tell me about herself and I noted that she kept telling me who she is by dwelling on her past mistakes.
Oh dear.
Is this not the same blunder we make?
We have so easily identified who we are by our careers, our jobs, our educational status, our businesses, etc.

Who we are is greater than what we do.
This is why Jesus Is more concerned about the fellowship We can have with Him which can produce in us the ability to become all that Daddy has created us to be.
Daddy Is more concerned about who we are becoming and not entirely about what we are doing.

Today, endeavour to find out who you are in the Word of God. This knowledge will keep you firmly rooted in Jesus, my dear.

Knowledge of who you are is necessary because it helps you to rise up whenever you fall.

Please know that I have made some serious blunders in my life as well. What has made the difference for me, by the Grace of God, is the knowledge of who I am and Whose I am.

This relationship is available for anyone who is willing to start afresh with Jesus.

Please, do not sleep in your past. There is a better and brighter future for you as you endeavour to devote your life to live for Jesus.

I pray that we receive available Grace to diligently seek God in His Word, and in effect, find out for ourselves, Who Jesus Christ says we are.

Remain blessed.

With 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...

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...
