DAY TWO: PRAYERS FOR CHRISTIAN WOMEN

Welcome to day two of our forty day retreat.

I hope yesterday's reflection was enlightening.
Today, we are praying for Christian Women all over the world.

Genesis 3:15 says, "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."

We see right from this verse of Scripture that the battle against the forces of darkness have existed from the beginning of creation.

The good thing is that Jesus Christ came to defeat the devil and give us dominion over the enemy.

As women, it is our place to believe in the victory won for us by Christ Jesus and fight the works of the enemy against our seed.

Today we are praying that:
1. The Holy Spirit will teach us how to fight the devil.
2. We, as women, will know our place in the Body of Christ and be effective and efficient in our duties to the Church.
3. God will call us to a closet life of Prayer and Intercession for our families and the land of our birth.
4. That we may delight in the Sword of the Spirit, that is the Word of God, and be equipped for battle

May God help us all as we fight.

If you are a man reading this, please pray for the women in your life, using the above prayer points.

God bless us all!

It's still SHARING LIFE.

Let's start sharing...

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...

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...

30 things I love about you: pt. 7-9

Happy Monday, baby! Can’t believe we are a week away. I am nervous… in a good day. I pray you have a great day on that day. 7. I love the way you pray for me Baaaabe! Thank you for always praying for me. I get to see your heart every time you pray for me. On the hardest days, you are there to cover me in prayer. On the happy days, you are there to thank ABBA with me. Thank you. I love it when you pray. Bruh! You pray so well, by ABBA’s Grace. I love you. Thank you. 8. I love how you seek opportunities to correct my childhood traumas. I remember that one time I shared the story of how we used to manage food in my home as a child. I told you about how our stew was always little with a lot of rice or yam or whatever. I remember how on that day I shared this with you, we were having lunch at your parents’. I recall how you went to the kitchen and fetched so much stew for me. It meant a lot and on so many occasions, I have seen you seek opportunities to correct ...
