REFLECTIONS FROM ELMINA. Pt. 1

I had the privilege of spending the weekend in Elmina, located in the Central region of Ghana.

The joy of waking up to the roaring of the sea waves was simply indescribable (I think I should do more of such trips).

I learnt a great deal from the place. It was also an opportunity for me to marvel at the creation of my Father and a reminder to me, of the exquisite masterpiece He has created- me!

You know, many times we expect certain events to play out in a particular way and to our disappointment, they go in the exact opposite direction.

I have learnt that God is who He is- God.

Man may see the occurrence of something as a total failure but to Him, the film is rolling out just perfectly.

In these times, most especially, I am learning to say nothing. Saying nothing, not because I have nothing to say, but because of the still small voice which tells me to be silent and watch.

I will always say, God is working.

In the end, everything will be perfect according to His purpose.

My dear one, whenever you feel like throwing in the towel as a result of expectations which have not been met, please don't: wipe your sweat and praise the One who has given you life.

Trust God

Praise Him

Be patient

" Oh but I have done that. I have been quiet, patient, and trusting. still no show! I give up!"

Don't stop!!!

Above all, guard your mouth against negative confessions which may counter all thee good things you have gained as far as you have come.

As always, the Holy Spirit is ever willing to teach you and to guide. He is the Only One who gives the best signals- He is that still small voice.

YOU ARE GREATLY LOVED BY HIM!

It's still #sharinglife

God bless you!

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...

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...

30 things I love about you: pt. 7-9

Happy Monday, baby! Can’t believe we are a week away. I am nervous… in a good day. I pray you have a great day on that day. 7. I love the way you pray for me Baaaabe! Thank you for always praying for me. I get to see your heart every time you pray for me. On the hardest days, you are there to cover me in prayer. On the happy days, you are there to thank ABBA with me. Thank you. I love it when you pray. Bruh! You pray so well, by ABBA’s Grace. I love you. Thank you. 8. I love how you seek opportunities to correct my childhood traumas. I remember that one time I shared the story of how we used to manage food in my home as a child. I told you about how our stew was always little with a lot of rice or yam or whatever. I remember how on that day I shared this with you, we were having lunch at your parents’. I recall how you went to the kitchen and fetched so much stew for me. It meant a lot and on so many occasions, I have seen you seek opportunities to correct ...
