I ALMOST GAVE UP

I almost gave up today...

What did I learn today?

I have learnt that once there is the thought of giving up in your head, there are going to be a million 'tangible' and 'wise' reasons to quit.

You will be amazed at the many wonderful excuses that will come up...but trust me, do not give up.

In the midst of a thousand reasons to give up, ask yourself the 'one reason why you started in the first place'.

Is it for a purpose leading you to God or glorifying God?
If yes, then be prepared to fight mentally, spiritually and physically for it.

If it is a fast you are embarking on, then be prepared for a fight against the will of your body.
If it is a business you are starting, be prepared to fight against the system that seeks to stifle out your dream.
If it be anything of great value to you, be prepared to fight against the tide.

It is an error to think that things must be entirely conducive or perfect for the arrival of your dream or vision.

...Baby, it is a fight!

Are you ready?

You may be wondering... Marlene, how did you not give up.

My answer is very simple:
The Holy Spirit reminded me of why I started this journey in the first place.
The Holy Spirit reminded me of Whose I really am.
The Holy Spirit reminded me of the Great Power of my Father.

Lastly, He told me this:
You will have to decide whether to live in the supernatural or to stick to the physical. 

What more can I say, the presence of the Holy Spirit in the life of a person makes all the difference in the world.

You are more than victorious baby, this fight already has a winner.
...and that winner is YOU!

DO NOT GIVE UP!!!

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...

My journey with Holy Spirit

This might probably be the longest I will ever publish. Here we go... Senior High School I started my relationship with Holy Spirit in St. Louis Senior High School. At that time, my father was going through a bit of a struggle and I didn't want to be a burden to him. I had made a terrible decision to combine my chopbox with a friend's and when my provisions finished, I couldn't call home. I was sad and I remembered that daddy had told me that if I ever wanted to change and be a better human, I should start by reading the "Book of Proverbs".  I came across Wisdom and I prayed for that Friendship and then someway somehow, I believed that I was never alone and that I had a Friend with me and that was when I starting fellowshiping with Holy Spirit.     Prior to this, I remember when I was in class 6, I heard Someone share His heart with me. He asked me, " Why is it that when people have problems, they tell their friends about it and then their fr...

3 Things I Admire About King David

  Hello Sharing Life fam! How is the going? I hope everything is kosher. One of the things I am most thankful for is to be a member of the Word & Spirit Feasts family. At the Word & Spirit Feasts, we have learnt how important structure is as we endeavour to be all that ABBA has called us to be. One of the principles that make a good spiritual structure is Bible Reading. I just finished 1Kings Chapter 2 and would like to share 3 things I admire about King David. 1.       King David did not entertain guilt and condemnation I have learnt that one thing the devil specialises in is condemnation. He is the accuser of the brethren for a reason. His commitment is in ensuring that we stay feeling bad for wrong done. One thing my spiritual father would say is: the devil will accuse of not doing the right thing and when you do the right thing, he will accuse you that it is not enough. That is what he does best. But, we see in 2Samuel 11 tha...
