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...

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...
