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...

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...
