DAY TWENTY-FOUR: ACADEMICS OF THE CHRISTIAN STUDENT-BODY.

Hello,
It's day twenty-four!

We are reflecting on the academics of the Christian student-body.

When I became a Christian, one of the things I was often told in my school was that Christian Students always failed or performed badly academically.
That was to console me and to prepare me for the 'cross' I would be carrying in my walk with God.

That is an entirely false notion!

All the same, that is what growing Christians are made to believe.

They are made to believe that once you accept Jesus, you will begin to fail.
You will become academically poor.

It is never true!

We do not serve a God of diminishing returns.

Our God is Excellence personified.
Our God is Wisdom
Our God is the Embodiment of ALL Knowledge.
Our God never ever fails!

Some growing Christians also see education to be a thing of the world hence they shun all forms of education and sometimes, drop out of school.

Lord have mercy.

I have a course mate who is currently contemplating quitting school because he believes he has the calling of God upon his life.
Yet, he doesn't know where God is leading him or what God really wants him to do. He says he wants to quit school and wait upon the voice of God.

Hmm...

My dear friends,
Our Father expects that as His Children, we excel in all our endeavours.

If you study the Scriptures, you will realise that all those who set themselves apart to serve Our God were highly distinguished from those who lived anyhow.

Study the lives of Daniel and his three friends in Daniel 1:15-17.

Study the lives of the Apostles Peter and John who were thought of as uneducated men yet their appearance and manner of speech showed that they had been with Jesus Christ in Acts 4:13.

Let us not be deceived.

It is about time we rose up from our sleep and showed the world whose children we are.

We are not called to be mediocre.
We are called to be Royals with Excellence on this Earth.

Baby get up and show the world who and what you are made of.

Be the Child of God you are and excel academically!

The Holy Spirit is your Guide.

Amen!

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 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 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...
