THE RESOLVE

Hello, happy Sunday!

We will be continuing with day eleven of our reflections tomorrow.

I want to share life on a topic I call THE RESOLVE.

This is something I'm sure many, if not all, of us will relate to.

When I accepted the Lord Jesus Christ into my heart and to be the Lord of my life, I wanted to let go of the many vices that were in my life.

I attended Christian events and took part in formation programs to enable me become a better person.

To my disappointment, every time I went back home, those were the times when I would hurt my parents the more.

Every time this occurred, I always would wonder why I kept on hurting the people that loved me the most. This made me question the presence of Jesus in my life.

... It happened for years...

Then this year happened...

In the early days of this year, I attended a camp meeting [I'll tell you all about the camp some day :-) ].

It was at the camp that the Holy Spirit enlightened me by making me know that to live for Him and to be a better person on this Earth is a fight.

YES... A FIGHT

You see, my dear, the more you want to live for God, the more you've got to be prepared for battle.
Do you think that our adversary, the enemy, will sit down and watch you become the Son or Daughter of the Most High God?

Haha...NO!

Even the Bible tells us to be sober and vigilant because our adversary the devil, prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may destroy.

It was then that I resolved in my heart that no matter the number of times I would fall in my Christian walk, I would stand in the name of Jesus Christ.

I resolved that no matter the number of blows of temptations that the devil brings my way, I would rise above them and fight him with the Word of God.

I resolved to take hold of the victory I had won in Christ Jesus and live the life that has been purposed for me by my Father, the King of Kings.

Now, my dear, I ask you today....

WHAT IS YOUR RESOLVE?

Think about it.
Ask the Holy Spirit to show you the areas in your life where you need to take some decisions on.

Like Daniel in the Bible, purpose in your heart to be the difference.

In the name of Jesus Christ.

Remain blessed.

It's still #SHARINGLIFE.

Don't stop 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...
