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.

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...

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...

30 things I love about you: pt. 10-12

Hi babe, 6 more days to go. We thank ABBA for everything. 10. I love the way we resolve conflict. I truly appreciate the posture with which you approach conflicts. Thank you for showing me that your posture is always to do what is needed for us to move forward. Thank you for showing that your goal isn't to find who is at fault and then crucify the person but rather to identify how to build from there and keep building. It took me a while to know this and thjs knowledge gives me the peace to resolve issues with you. I pray ABBA'S blessings for you, always. 11. I love how you give me room. You don't hold me back. You push and keep pushing me to strive for excellence and to be the best. Thank you for pushing me to start Doux! Thank you for pushing me to take my place. I encountered a man, whom I thought I loved, who was more concerned about me putting my ministry and dreams aside to pursue his. He never encouraged me if it didn't fit his "ideas". One of the mai...
