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 eleven: The Authentic Hgh

This morning, I was pondering over a video Tabitha Brown posted on instagram a few days ago ( link here ). In her video, she was talking about how people were always sending her Dms to tone down on how much she speaks of Jesus in all her work. She said a lot of meaningful things which you will find in the link I have attached. My Quiet Time last week Friday was sourced from Timothy 4:8 which reads " For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. " It was a super "Aha" moment for me because I found a scripture from the Bible which assures me that I will profit a great deal from my resolve, to live for God, both in the now life and in the life which is to come. How cool is that?! Now that the premise for today's post has been laid, let me tell you what the authentic high is all about. This is going to get personal... it is the only way I can properly relay the mes...

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...
