DAY TWENTY-TWO: THE RIGHT PLACE

Hello!

How about a nightcap before bed.
This one is filled with the Holy Spirit and not alcohol.

A couple of months ago, I met a lady at the bus station.
It wasn't my intention to eavesdrop on her conversation over the phone but I couldn't help but hear her because she was very audible.

She was telling the person on the other line of how she'd gone back into the world because of the executive position she occupied in her hall of residence.

I was saddened.

Then I thought to myself.
Isn't the will of God that we know Him and choose to work out our relationship in earnest?

Maybe I'm not putting this right.

It is good to aspire for roles of leadership outside the Church.
Nonetheless, it is very necessary that we seek the counsel of the Holy Spirit before we make a move in that direction.

Sometimes, and I mean sometimes, God sends His Children into certain places for us to effect some changes...according to His will.

We must surround ourselves with people who can help us in our spiritual growth and that is for our own good.

Please think about it.

Shall we pray.

Dear Lord,
Thank You for the gift of Your Holy Spirit.
Please blot out from my life all those who need to leave.
I receive the strength to let go when they leave.
I ask that You guide my choices that I may always be where You want me to be.
I pray for the young lady too, that wherever she is right now, she may find her way back into Your loving arms.

In Jesus' mighty name!

Amen.

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...
