SETTING YOURSELF APART

We live in a fallen world filled with little to no standards. 
What we fail to realise is that in the midst of this we, as the Sons and Daughters of the King, are called to be the light unto this world.

I see that it is quite 'insane' for a person to purpose in his or her heart to live a life which is set apart unto God.

It is okay to be different.
It is okay to desire to wait on the Lord.
It is okay to desire to grow the Fruits of the Holy Spirit and they are absolutely great values worth pursuing.

I am very concerned about what I see all around me.
I see people with low to no standards at all. 
I see young people letting themselves go and moving with the tide of this world. 

I see young people who fervently pray but have no knowledge of who the Holy Spirit is or even know His value in their lives.
I see young people in relationships with members of the opposite sex yet know nothing about the value of such relationships to Daddy and His Kingdom.

I see pious young people in churches with no idea of who they are and have no personal relationship with Jesus Christ. 
I see young people who have clothed themselves with the clothing of religion and who believe that their religious acts of service will grant them a place in Heaven and yet, they know not what it means to be completely washed by the Blood of Jesus Christ and redeemed into fellowship with God through His Holy Spirit. 

I am concerned...

I see so many people who are just living... they do not know God... they do not know Jesus Christ... they have no idea Who the Holy Spirit is. 
... they have heard of Them...and that is all. 

But are they aware that THEY ARE SO EAGER to have them know Who THEY ARE?

I cannot help but see all these people living without a standard... they live... just so that they can enjoy each moment... to have fun...or to simply exist.

But...

There is a Standard we are all called to live up to.
There is a Standard through which our lives will be measured by.
I fear that they fear to live up to this Standard because 'it' goes directly contrary to what the world dictates to its offspring...

This Standard is Jesus Christ.
He is not a difficult person.
He is the Second of the Great Trinity yet He is the First and is the Third... for He is God. 
Together with the Father and the Holy Spirit they are ONE.

I will never stop saying this...
This GOD is amazing!!!
I have never encountered an Ever-selfless God in my entire life. 
He is Self-Giving and filled with Great Love... He is LOVE. 
He is ever willing to TEACH US who He is if only we would ASK of HIM. 
He is ever willing to fill you and me up with His fullness if we would LET Him.

He does not want you to miss out on a life filled with everlasting joy, great peace and eternal love and LIFE. 

PLEASE DON'T MISS THIS...

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. 10-12

Hi babe,  6 more days to go. We thank ABBA for everything.  10. I love the way we resolve conflict. I truly appreciate the posture with which you approach conflicts. Thank you for showing me that your posture is always to do what is needed for us to move forward. Thank you for showing that your goal isn't to find who is at fault and then crucify the person but rather to identify how to build from there and keep building. It took me a while to know this and thjs knowledge gives me the peace to resolve issues with you. I pray ABBA'S blessings for you, always. 11. I love how you give me room. You don't hold me back. You push and keep pushing me to strive for excellence and to be the best. Thank you for pushing me to start Doux! Thank you for pushing me to take my place. I encountered a man, whom I thought I loved, who was more concerned about me putting my ministry and dreams aside to pursue his. He never encouraged me if it didn't fit his "ideas". One of the mai...
