BEFORE YOU SAY YES

Hello,

I know it has been a while.

I have missed sharing life with you.

In these few days of absence, ideas for us to ponder on have not stopped flooding my mind.

BEFORE YOU SAY YES...

I know a lot of us have purposed in our hearts to surrender our youth and time to God's will and to allow him to mold us into who He has destined us to be.

Sometimes, it gets tough.

We want to wait on God's very best for us in all things and especially in the area of our heart.

Nonetheless, our personal goals do not necessarily influence the pressures of this world in the least.

I want to encourage you as I am being encouraged by the Holy Spirit:

Would you abruptly halt the formation process Our Father is working out in your life for that one person who keeps pushing you to say a yes?

Think about it.
You may say no, but your actions may have already said a big YES!

God is Faithful.

I won't stop saying it.

This decision you have made will sometimes feel like a very wrong one...thank God that they are just feelings that are fleeting.

We must not stop fighting this flesh which always tends to throw us in the direction of satisfying its whims. Like Apostle Paul, we must bring our flesh under subjection.

My dear, no matter what happens, don't settle till you are 100% confident that this person you are looking at, is the right one.

Let me tell you this, as a godly man or woman, your very nature attracts people of your godly kind, towards you.

Never be surprised when people you think are way out of your league start showing interest in you because you are godly.

Now hear this, it is ONLY GOD who can show you which of these godly men or women is your best fit.

ONLY GOD...

Before you say yes to the first godly man that comes your way, allow God to confirm to you whether he is your life mate or someone exhibiting some characteristics of the original masterpiece God has prepared just for you.

Before you tell yourself yes, I am going to propose to this lady or ask her out on a date,
ask yourself, " Is my true reason for asking her out because I want to quiet down the pressure from family and friends or is it because I genuinely see our complementarity as God's very own orchestration?"

My final words to you is,

NEVER SETTLE UNTIL YOU ARE ASSURED THAT THIS PERSON IS GOD'S BEST FOR YOU -  EVEN IF IT TAKES TIME, HE/SHE  WOULD BE WORTH THE WAIT.

Trust God!

It's still #SHARINGLIFE.

Don't stop sharing!

Remain blessed dear one.

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...
