DAY SEVEN: THE CLOSET LIFE

Hello, welcome to day seven of our forty-day retreat and reflections!

I was watching the movie WAR ROOM some weeks ago.

After watching the movie, I decided to reflect on my life drawing references from the movie I'd just seen.

I began to understand the reason for my struggles with myself.
I'd been so busy trying to fix myself that I'd lost sight of who my Creator is and His ability to make changes in my life according to His will and purpose for me.

I understood that He is the only One I am to share my deepest fears, my weaknesses and my frustrations to.
I understood, by the help of the Holy Spirit that He was the only One who can give me strength to go on with my life.

I also felt the Holy Spirit calling me to a closet life.
A life of constant communion with Him.
A life of independently depending on God.
A life of total trust and surrender to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

Today, I want you to ask yourself...

1. Do you desire to experience the Holy Spirit for yourself?
2. Do you see yourself very far from the will of God?
3. Do you want this closet life?
4. Do you sense the Holy Spirit calling you to a closet life?

Whatever the answer may be, the Holy Spirit is right where you are.

Talk to Him....please.... He will listen.

I pray passionately for you....that you will have a passionate relationship with the Holy Spirit.

God bless you!

It's still #SHARINGLIFE.

Let's start sharing...

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...

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...

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...
