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...

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...

Show up

Two weeks ago, I published a post titled, " Cornerstone " and in that post, I shared how Holy Spirit had thought me about what it means to put Jesus first in seeking Him. I talked about how by prioritizing time spent with Him, it meant that all the other areas/facets of my life would find their alignment from this one choice. Today, I bring you updates from this post and a few things to share. Before I get to it, let me say how grateful I am to God for the Grace to remember this truth and prioritize Him. Honestly, to God be all the Glory. Last week, I was reading the book of Daniel and in chapter 1, I saw how Daniel and his 3 friends chose to prioritize their devotion to God above what the Babylonian king wanted them to do. In the chapter, we see how ABBA made them 10x better than their contemporaries. So today, I want to share Daniel 1: 17-20 "17 As for these four youths, God gave them learning and s kill in all literat...
