The Teachable Spirit 1

I used to think that in order for me to be fit to take up any task, I had to be fully prepared… I mean 100% prepared.

As I sit in bed to reflect on this thought, I realise that this assumption is not 100% fact.

I have come to realise that sometimes one is ‘prepared’ on the job.

I reckon that the more you work/ practice/ do your given task, the more you become and mature into your duty.

But one thing I was taught by the Great Teacher is this:

It takes a person with a teachable spirit to be entrusted with such roles.

Have you ever wondered why some people get jobs you feel they are not worthy of attaining or qualified for?

The reason why some of these people get such mandates is because of the spirit they possess- the spirit that acknowledges its ignorance and thirsts for growth and knowledge; the spirit that is open to rebuke in order that they may attain their fullest potential.

As you retire to bed this night I want you to reflect on this as you relate this post to yourself…ask yourself:

Do I possess the spirit that will enable God to entrust anything (be it a job, ministry, a relationship, a platform) to me?

If you answered no to this question, like the Psalmist in Ps. 51:10, we are asking the Good Lord to renew a right spirit within us.

God bless you as you desire to live a life pleasing to the One and Only Sovereign God.

It's still #SHARINGLIFE.

Have a blessed sleep.

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...
