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...

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 One: One Good Turn Deserves Another

It feels so good to come back to writing, especially for this series! The 40-day reflections have been the most intensive seasons of my writing life. It is beautiful to observe how in the beginning, the writings seem rusty and then as they days go by, they begin to flow freely. After such a long break, I wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes the experience but hey, miracles happen every day! Praise the Lord! Today, I am sharing on kindness: There is this saying, “ One Good Turn Deserves Another ”, which in simple terms means: if someone does you a favour, you should take the chance to repay it . If you live by this proverb, you may do good to others with the expectation that when it is your turn to be shown such kindness, it is reciprocated in an equal or greater measure. I’m not sure that’s entirely a good posture for us as believers. I’m reminded of the piece of Scripture in which Jesus asks us to particularly do good to those we know will be...
