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...

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...
