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 six: The perfect start

Waking up to pray has been extremely hard to do in the past few days. For some time now, I wake up in the mornings feeling more tired than I went to bed. And so although my eyes are open, it is a real struggle getting out of the bed. Initially, this morning, I was feeling bad about it. After a few minutes, I resolved to pray from my bed. I did that… and ended up sleeping at a point . It was better than nothing. That moment taught me that the perfect start is the one that happens from exactly where you are. There is a reason why God wants this relationship with us: aside from the fact that it is a love thing, God also knows that we truly and sincerely cannot make it in this life without Him. He Is not looking for a perfect daughter neither is He searching for a perfect son. He Is perfect and His perfection is enough for all of us. I remember those times when I would tell my spiritual father I was struggling to pray. He would say to me: Why don’t you ask the Lord to help you? Why d...

Day twelve: My Shepherd

I was reading the book, "In Him" by Kenneth E. Hagin and in the book, he wrote: The Lord Is my Shepherd. I do not want. I do not want for ability. I do not want to strength. I do not want for money. I do not want for anything. The Lord is my Shepherd.  These words by this man ministered life to me and it got me thinking: So often, we find ourselves reading Psalm 23 and it is easy for us to just look at those words exactly as they are in the Bible without translating them into our present circumstances and the seasons in which we find ourselves.  The angle provided by Kenneth Hagin has shed light on who Jesus really is as my Shepherd.  He is not the kind of Shepherd who wants to be irrelevant in the affairs of His sheep.  He very much wants to be a part of it.  Consequently, as a Shepherd who sees to it that His sheep lack no good thing, He remains committed to ensuring that all our needs and lack are provided for. It says, there is nothing I shall want .  W...
