DAY THIRTY-NINE: PURIFICATION

Welcome to day thirty-nine of our forty-day retreat and reflections.

We are gradually hitting the finish line.

Yesterday, a follower of these reflections asked me why yesterday's post was very brief.

Actually, he said, "Errrmm....today's post is kinda incomplete".

I laughed as I told him the simple truth that that was all the message was.

What is more profound than informing you that the King of all kings and the Lord of all and over all things IS CALLING YOU?

We are reflecting on purification today.

Christians all over the world today are in remembrance of the ULTIMATE SACRIFICE of Jesus Christ on the Cross.

I want us to reflect on the death of Jesus Christ.
How be it, that a King would descend in human form to be humiliated by men He created by His own hands and whose very existence is made possible by the breath from His very self?

How be it that a man who knew no sin, came to carry the burden of sin of all mankind- those born and yet unborn?

He came, that we may Have life

He came, that we may be pure and without blemish.

He came that we may stand before the Throne of the Almighty with the knowledge of His sacrifice and the purity it gives us: the purity that counts us as worthy.

Lord have mercy on us.

Today, we are called to allow this Sacrifice to purify us and make us clean.

Jesus wants to make us clean.

Jesus wants to wipe our stains.

Jesus wants to purify us.

As we remember His Sacrifice, may we open up our hearts for His purification.

He is the Only One who can purify us.

He is the Only One who makes us worthy.

Jesus is Lord forever and ever.

Amen!

Thank You Jesus for showing us the way.

We are nothing without You!

It's still #SHARINGLIFE.

Don't stop sharing life!

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 six: The perfect start

Waking up to pray has been extremely hard to do in the past few days. For some time now, I wake up in the mornings feeling more tired than I went to bed. And so although my eyes are open, it is a real struggle getting out of the bed. Initially, this morning, I was feeling bad about it. After a few minutes, I resolved to pray from my bed. I did that… and ended up sleeping at a point . It was better than nothing. That moment taught me that the perfect start is the one that happens from exactly where you are. There is a reason why God wants this relationship with us: aside from the fact that it is a love thing, God also knows that we truly and sincerely cannot make it in this life without Him. He Is not looking for a perfect daughter neither is He searching for a perfect son. He Is perfect and His perfection is enough for all of us. I remember those times when I would tell my spiritual father I was struggling to pray. He would say to me: Why don’t you ask the Lord to help you? Why d...

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...
