EPHESIANS CHAPTER ONE

I was sharing the first Chapter of Ephesians with a little girl.
Unfortunately, she is unable to read so I read it out to her in English and explained to her in twi.

The first Chapter talks about the gift of adoption we have received in Christ Jesus, the seal of the Holy Spirit in our lives and Paul's profound prayer that all men may attain the fullness of knowledge of Jesus Christ.

After explaining to her the person of the Holy Spirit and His ability to equip us to do all things, I asked her what she would do if she had the gift of the Holy Spirit in her life.

My little girl said that she would take care of the sick, be a good child at home, go to church often and also get God to provide her needs.

This might seem as nothing to some of us since we focus on 'greater' things.

...this little girl chose to put others first before thinking about her own benefits.

In her prayer, which according to her is her first, she asked for God to make her a better person and child.

Beloved, our ability to accept the gift of adoption God gives us is by Grace.

Our acceptance opens doors for us because we come to live as Royals with very great treasuries.

.....and The King lavishes all these on us holding nothing back.

We can't afford to miss this.

The Gift of the Holy Spirit.
The Same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead.
The Spirit of the King of Kings.

My Goodness!

We can't miss this.

Like Paul, I sincerely wish that we may come to the fullness of knowledge of Jesus Christ.

It takes consistency to grow in this knowledge.

Shall we pray:

Lord Holy Spirit, thank You for this inheritance we have found in Christ Jesus.
We ask that You help us remain consistent in our walk with You.
Humble us Lord, that we may grow in the knowledge of Jesus Christ.
We thank You and we bless Your Holy name for Your Faithfulness to us.
In Jesus' name.

Amen!

It's still #SHARINGLIFE

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...

Daughter of the King by Jamie Grace ft. Morgan Harper Nichols

[Verse 1: Jamie Grace] They tell me I'm too young Tell me I'm not beautiful I'm not good enough I'm not worth anything at all They tell me I dream too much I got my head in the clouds Maybe I'm just hoping For something better than what I see now A world where every girl knows [Chorus 1: Jamie Grace] The Maker of skies, the Maker of seas The Maker of every beautiful thing He made you, He made you too The mountain high, the river wide He tells the sun when to set and rise And He made you, He made you too You're a daughter of the King So tell me, what does that make you? [Verse 2: Morgan Harper Nichols] So put your shoulders back Don't you know that you're beautiful You don't gotta tell 'em that, no Just walk around like you know And if you see our sister (if you see our sister) Looking like she forgot Like her dreams got crushed You better remind her [Chorus 1: Morgan Harper Nichols] The Maker of skies, the Maker o...
