The Ant and the mortar

 I have been privileged to work with bamboo for some weeks now.
I have been producing paper from bamboo fibres.
Earlier today, whiles pounding my bamboo fibres, an ant fell into the mortar.
I had wanted to help it out but I knew that if I tried to reach out for it, the ant would rather hide from me and get further lost in the bamboo fibres.
…and so, I left it to find its way out.
Deep within me, I knew it would find its way out.

Just then, Holy Spirit began to minister to my spirit (I just love Him!!!)
I believe this post will bless you today…
He taught me…

Many times, when we cry out to Daddy for His help and it seems as though He is not forthcoming with the needed response, it is not because He does not love us or He does not see our tears.

Many times, He just wants us to tap from the greatness of Himself which He has placed on the inside of us, to come out of our situation.

You have been crying for sponsorship for a long time.
Meanwhile, God has placed within you, the ability to amass wealth for yourself; He has imbued you with ideas that can give you even more than what the sponsorship you are looking for could ever suffice.

You want to end that relationship
But you have forgotten that inside you is placed the power of ‘choice’. You have the ability to say ‘no’ and you have the power to be firm and resolute in your decision.

You want to patch things up with a friend.
It is not God Who Is going to descend to patch things up for you. You have the capacity to reach out… even if it means giving the platform for your heart to be trampled upon by the other.

You want things to change for the better.
Yet, you cannot see that change lies within you. You are the torchbearer of change and your decision to be the change is what will cause your entire environment to dance to your tune.

Beloved, Daddy has placed so much within you.
You are very bold enough to stand for what you value.
You are strong enough to fight off the negativity around you.
You are brave enough to say, ‘No More!!!’ to that addiction.

…and when you are ready to find that ability that is within you and when you are ready to unlock it to its fullest potential, please please and please again…
CONSULT HOLY SPIRIT.
He loves you so much… more than you could ever imagine.

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...

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...

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...
