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...

Day eleven: The Authentic Hgh

This morning, I was pondering over a video Tabitha Brown posted on instagram a few days ago ( link here ). In her video, she was talking about how people were always sending her Dms to tone down on how much she speaks of Jesus in all her work. She said a lot of meaningful things which you will find in the link I have attached. My Quiet Time last week Friday was sourced from Timothy 4:8 which reads " For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. " It was a super "Aha" moment for me because I found a scripture from the Bible which assures me that I will profit a great deal from my resolve, to live for God, both in the now life and in the life which is to come. How cool is that?! Now that the premise for today's post has been laid, let me tell you what the authentic high is all about. This is going to get personal... it is the only way I can properly relay the mes...

Day twelve: My Shepherd

I was reading the book, "In Him" by Kenneth E. Hagin and in the book, he wrote: The Lord Is my Shepherd. I do not want. I do not want for ability. I do not want to strength. I do not want for money. I do not want for anything. The Lord is my Shepherd. These words by this man ministered life to me and it got me thinking: So often, we find ourselves reading Psalm 23 and it is easy for us to just look at those words exactly as they are in the Bible without translating them into our present circumstances and the seasons in which we find ourselves. The angle provided by Kenneth Hagin has shed light on who Jesus really is as my Shepherd. He is not the kind of Shepherd who wants to be irrelevant in the affairs of His sheep. He very much wants to be a part of it. Consequently, as a Shepherd who sees to it that His sheep lack no good thing, He remains committed to ensuring that all our needs and lack are provided for. It says, there is nothing I shall want . W...
