DAY TWENTY-THREE: PRAYERS FOR WASSCE CANDIDATES

Welcome to day twenty-three of our forty-day retreat and reflections.

We are reflecting on the lives of students in Ghana who will be completing their second cycle education in a few months.

I want us to pray for them because of the key role this examination plays in the lives of these students.
Dreams have been shattered by the outcome of these examinations.

Reflecting on my personal experience as I was preparing to write this same exam some years ago,  I really see the need for us to commit these students into the Lord's hands.

Strange things happened to me before and during the examinations.

1. I had difficulty studying for my exam.
2. My friends were having issues with me.
3. On the last day of my final exam, I went totally blank.
I couldn't remember anything I had studied for my paper.
The shocking thing was, it was the only paper I had about ten days to prepare for.
I had worked so hard to study for that paper and I was very confident in myself that I would do well....more than I was for the other papers.

And I was blank!

I remember how hard I cried...

Shall we pray:

Dear Lord,
We thank you for these precious ones who are completing this phase in their education.
Father, we ask that Your Holy Spirit guides and directs them as they study.
Please give strength to those who are facing domestic and financial issues to pull through with their exams successfully.
Lord we ask for Divine Wisdom for them to apply all the knowledge they are gathering as is expected of them by their tutors.
Holy Spirit please help them to be truthful in all their endeavours.
May they not succumb to the pressures of cheating and all other forms of examination malpractice which will destroy their future.
Keep them and protect them dear Lord.

In Jesus mighty name.
Amen!

God bless you.

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 One: One Good Turn Deserves Another

It feels so good to come back to writing,  especially for this series! The 40-day reflections have been the most intensive seasons of my writing life. It is beautiful to observe how in the beginning, the writings seem rusty and then as they days go by, they begin to flow freely.  After such a long break, I wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes the experience but hey, miracles happen every day! Praise the Lord! Today, I am sharing on kindness: There is this saying, “ One Good Turn Deserves Another ”, which in simple terms means:  if someone does you a favour, you should take the chance to repay it . If you live by this proverb, you may do good to others with the expectation that when it is your turn to be shown such kindness, it is reciprocated in an equal or greater measure.  I’m not sure that’s entirely a good posture for us as believers. I’m reminded of the piece of Scripture in which Jesus asks us to particularly do good to those we know will be...
