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...

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...

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...
