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...

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...

3 Things I Admire About King David

  Hello Sharing Life fam! How is the going? I hope everything is kosher. One of the things I am most thankful for is to be a member of the Word & Spirit Feasts family. At the Word & Spirit Feasts, we have learnt how important structure is as we endeavour to be all that ABBA has called us to be. One of the principles that make a good spiritual structure is Bible Reading. I just finished 1Kings Chapter 2 and would like to share 3 things I admire about King David. 1.       King David did not entertain guilt and condemnation I have learnt that one thing the devil specialises in is condemnation. He is the accuser of the brethren for a reason. His commitment is in ensuring that we stay feeling bad for wrong done. One thing my spiritual father would say is: the devil will accuse of not doing the right thing and when you do the right thing, he will accuse you that it is not enough. That is what he does best. But, we see in 2Samuel 11 tha...
