DAY TWENTY-SIX: LOST SOULS.

Hello, it's day twenty - six of our forty-day retreat and reflections.

We are reflecting on lost souls today.

My heart is heavy as I reflect on this group of people.

When we encountered God, when Jesus came into our lives, what prevented us from sharing Him with others?

Have you thought of how amazing it would be if we were all surrounded by people who believe in Jesus Christ?

The lost souls are not far from us.

In our families,
In our homes,
In our institutions,
In our workplaces,
Even in the church...

Brethren, let us pray for the passion for lost souls.
Let us pray for fervency in our intercessions for lost souls.

These people have no place in their hearts for Jesus Christ and it hurts Him.

Jesus is seeking for the chance to come into their lives to make their lives better.

Jesus wants to place His seal of ownership on their lives in order for the devil to not come near them.

Yet, they are unwilling and clueless.

Let us not look at the enormity of this task.
Let us take this a day at a time.

Let us start from those around us: a person a day.

Have you seen the sudden light that shows in the eyes of a new convert?

Have you seen the sudden liberation that is evident when someone encounters Christ?

Look at your life: think about how the Lord's presence in your life has turned things around for you.

Wouldn't you want to see that same change in the life of another?

Think about this.

God bless you as you keep these people in your heart.

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...
