DAY THIRTY-FOUR: INTERCESSION FOR BABIES

Hello,

Wonderful weekend to us all.

We are reflecting on babies today: babies in the womb and those newly born.

Isn't it a joy to see a little child?

We'll maybe it is because I am a woman but it is such a pleasant thing to see life exuding from that cute little being.

Personally, I am of the view that no child is born evil unless it be the will of God.
Even with that, we are assured of the goodness of our Father and hence, we cannot say that He would create an evil child and place that child in the womb of another.

Our duty as mothers is not to only see to the physical wellbeing of our babies by being religious with our antenatal and postnatal visits to the hospital.

It is not entirely about we taking our short walking exercises seriously and eating all the healthy foods.

We have a duty to also protect the spiritual wellbeing of our babies especially when they are in our wombs.

We must speak life into their lives as they grow inside of us.

We are Christian Women and we are called to be different.

Let us build up the spirituality of our babies.
We must pray for them and with them.

We are mothers and their future depends on us greatly.

As mothers with unplanned pregnancies, we must fight the spirit that compels us to abort these 'unwanted' babies.
The lives of great destinies are put on the line every time these atrocities take place.

I have a friend who decided to fight against the status quo of aborting her baby.
By God's Grace, I have been privileged to see how great the little life growing inside of her is affecting her own life and especially, her relationship with God.

Mothers provide a shield against the attacks of the evil one against their babies.
Locate a praying mother and she will tell you of the many battles she has fought on behalf of her children.

Fathers are not left out of this duty.

Fathers are the overall human protection of the family.
Fathers are called to lead both physically and spiritually.

Sometimes, it is tiring for some mothers to fight spiritually to their utmost capability.

That is where the Godly man comes in to fight and to build up the woman through support and encouragement to also take up the mantle of praying for their babies.

The walking exercises are good: as you walk, don't worry about anything or bother yourself with so many thoughts.
Make your walk a prayer one.
Devote yourself to talking to your babies whiles they are inside of you and as they come out into this world.

There is a lot more I would like to say but let's just start with this.

It's still #SHARINGLIFE.

Don't stop sharing life!

Please don't forget to share your thoughts as well.

God bless!

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...

Thank You October 2025

 As the minutes draw near to mark October's ending, my desire is to etch these memories in time.  October was tough... financially...  But, October taught me what it means to hold on to the Lord Jesus and His Word.  October challenged me to stand and not look for the easy way out.  October taught me to rest in love and not performance.  October taught me that indeed, help comes from the strangest places.  October taught me that ABBA has not forgotten.  October taught me... all in due time.  October taught me to trust.  October spoke to me.  October encouraged me.  October showed me that ABBA speaks and more importantly, that I hear Him and do not miss it...  For someone who has battled with spiritual inferiority complex due to "church" hurt, October held my heart close and showed me I'm not lost.   October touched my heart... maybe that is why I didn't want to watch this day go like any ordinary day...  Octo...
