BARRIERS TO LOVING

My life has been something else.

Through it all, God has been faithful to me.

Then I understood that as the BRIDEGROOM, that is His very nature.

He will never ever ever stop pursuing me until He wins my heart over.

His Love for me is unchanging.

If it did, then He would cease being God.

He would be like man who changes every time.

I, on the other hand, was scared to love.

I am not talking about falling in love with a man for a lifelong relationship that leads to marriage and beyond.

I am referring to my initial inability to let go of my defenses to show genuine love to others because I feared that they would throw my love back in my face.

I was scared of maybe being vulnerable and pouring out the very depths of my heart out to serve them.

Not because I didn't want to, but because I feared rejection.

Today, I watched a Christian documentary titled FURIOUS LOVE.

I realised that indeed, the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God, for the pulling down of strongholds.

After watching this documentary, I conclusively attest to the simple fact the only true weapon we have as Christians is the fullness of Love, that is Christ Jesus, and the demonstration of this Love to our neighbours through the help of the Holy Spirit.

Come to think of it my brother, my sister,

WHAT WAS. THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT REASON FOR GOD SENDING HIS ONLY SON TO THIS WORLD?

LOVE

WHAT SINGLE MOTIVE, WAS ENOUGH TO BREAK THE HOLD OF DEATH ON JESUS CHRIST?

LOVE

LOVE IS THE VERY ESSENCE OF GOD.

When we allow the Love of God to grow in our hearts through the help of the Holy Spirit, believe you me, we will utterly destroy every strong hold of the enemy.

The one thing that renders the evil one powerless is the existence of love and it's manifestation thereof in its fullness.

I am sincerely asking all of us to endeavour to allow the overflow of God's great Love into our hearts.

I desire this greatly and I really wish you did too.

Those who are in the world are tearing up inwardly because the Church has failed to show love and genuine compassion for them.

In our subconscious, we have tagged them as lesbians, homosexuals, prostitutes, murderers, paedophiles, wayward people.

Many of us have failed to see that behind all the mess we see in front of us is a desperate soul craving and silently screaming for God's love.

Oh that our eyes may be open to see the things that need being seen.

If we want to see a true revival in our day, we must open up ourselves entirely for the overflow of God's love to take its course is our lives.

So much more I want to burst out to say.

But you know what?

The time to act is now.

Holy Spirit, please help us.

Help us live Your Love.

Help us go all out through You.

Please build in us compassion for the lost.

We are deeply sorry for those times we tagged our neighbours before we even heard them out.

Have mercy on us Lord.
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...
