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!

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...

30 things I love about you pt. 19-21

Babe, 19. I love your sense of responsibility. You are a very responsible man, and I've been privileged to see how that immense sense of responsibility causes you to think about things people your age seldom think of. Be it church work, work work, life's work, whatever the work, you show up and take charge by ABBA'S Grace. I'm not surprised that people are often surprised by your age because of this. 20. I love the way you trust ABBA with EVERY THING. When we started dating, you said to me that you wouldn't start anything that prayer wouldn't be a part of. You're quick to commit time to pray and seek ABBA on things. On the regular, you're always seeking and entrusting things into ABBA'S hands. I know I can be a handful sometimes, and so you need that consistent connection from my Manufacturer 😂 but, yes, you try. May ABBA bless you, baby. 21. For this reason, I'm not surprised at your humility. I love that about you. I love the fact that you ...
