DAY THIRTEEN: HUMILITY

Hello and welcome to our thirteenth day!
God bless you for your faithfulness in reflecting with SHARING LIFE.

Whiles praying today, I was prompted on the life of Jesus Christ in relation to the topic for our reflection today.

You see, Jesus Christ was a man of humility.

I believe that when you know who you are, you don't go about claiming things for yourself or trying to prove or disprove the notions of others.

Jesus knew where His home actually is.
He knew that He is King.
He knew He is the fullness of wealth itself.
He knew all that the Scriptures said about Him while on Earth.

He didn't have to prove to anyone that He was mighty or capable of healing the sick or raising the dead.
He only walked in the will of His Father and He did all that we read in the Bible and even more.

Personally, I see pride to be the the actions exhibited by a person who does not know his or her true identity.

When you know who your Father is you don't seek the Glory of men.
When you are aware of your true identity, you do not make it your daily goal to prove to anyone who you are or what you are made of.
When you know who you are, you are as down to earth as you can ever be because you know what you have and make it available for those who do not have.

Ask yourself:
Have my actions indirectly portrayed arrogance?
Do I really know who I am?
Has the knowledge of myself influenced my relationship with others?

If you are not sure of who you are, ask the Holy Spirit to show you as you go through what the Scriptures say about you.

If you're lacking in humility, please ask the Holy Spirit to groom you into a man or a woman of great humility.
Please note that the grooming is not always pleasant thus make it a conscious decision to stick to the grooming process.

It's still #SHARINGLIFE

Remain blessed.

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 One: One Good Turn Deserves Another

It feels so good to come back to writing, especially for this series! The 40-day reflections have been the most intensive seasons of my writing life. It is beautiful to observe how in the beginning, the writings seem rusty and then as they days go by, they begin to flow freely. After such a long break, I wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes the experience but hey, miracles happen every day! Praise the Lord! Today, I am sharing on kindness: There is this saying, “ One Good Turn Deserves Another ”, which in simple terms means: if someone does you a favour, you should take the chance to repay it . If you live by this proverb, you may do good to others with the expectation that when it is your turn to be shown such kindness, it is reciprocated in an equal or greater measure. I’m not sure that’s entirely a good posture for us as believers. I’m reminded of the piece of Scripture in which Jesus asks us to particularly do good to those we know will be...
