The Conformists and the non-conformists

In making pulp (pulp is the mixture of the wood fibres in water) for my paper,

I had to pound the fibres for a while before adding water to it.

After adding the water, I realised that I still had fibres which had refused to loosen up to make my desired pulp.

I was running my hand through a large bowl of pulp and as I did, I took out those ‘stubborn’ fibres to throw them out.

Holy Spirit taught me that a time is coming when those who choose not to conform to the precepts of our Father will be sifted out and discarded like the fibres I had thrown out.

When that time comes, those who choose disobedience against the voice of God will find themselves being thrown into the lake of fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

We have no excuse.

We have no excuse…

…and those of us who are burning with zeal for Our King now, let us not grow complacent in our walk with Dad.

Let us not think that we have arrived…we will never arrive until we go back Home to Heaven.

Daddy has sent us His Holy Spirit to lead and guide us.

Let us not lose sight of His presence and let us not trivialize His very essence.

Baby, if today you have heard His voice, please, harden not your heart.

I love you…

…but God…He loves you exceedingly above your wildest imaginations.

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...

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...

30 things I love about you: pt. 7-9

Happy Monday, baby! Can’t believe we are a week away. I am nervous… in a good day. I pray you have a great day on that day. 7. I love the way you pray for me Baaaabe! Thank you for always praying for me. I get to see your heart every time you pray for me. On the hardest days, you are there to cover me in prayer. On the happy days, you are there to thank ABBA with me. Thank you. I love it when you pray. Bruh! You pray so well, by ABBA’s Grace. I love you. Thank you. 8. I love how you seek opportunities to correct my childhood traumas. I remember that one time I shared the story of how we used to manage food in my home as a child. I told you about how our stew was always little with a lot of rice or yam or whatever. I remember how on that day I shared this with you, we were having lunch at your parents’. I recall how you went to the kitchen and fetched so much stew for me. It meant a lot and on so many occasions, I have seen you seek opportunities to correct ...
