Remembering...

So, I am in this hot vehicular traffic jam on the Ayeduase road and I chanced upon this Scripture which was shared by Veronica Campbell-Brown, who happens to be one of the best female athletes in the world and one of my favourites too…

Seek the Lord and His strength; yearn for and seek His face and to be in His presence continually!” 1Chron. 16:11
I was wowed. Upon reaching my home, I decided to read further…I quickly went to my Bible to read again.

Earnestly remember the marvelous deed which He has done, His miracles, and the judgements He uttered as in Egypt, O you offspring of Abraham and of Israel His servants, you children of Jacob, His chosen ones!”
1 Chronicles 16:12-13, Amplified Topical Reference Bible
I was struck by the 12th verse that says, “Earnestly remember the marvelous deeds which He has done, His miracles, and the judgements He uttered [as in Egypt]”.

I couldn’t help but wonder why the speaker was calling on the people to remember everything that Daddy had done for them.

Then, Holy Spirit brought to my attention the fact that in most times, we tend to forget.
Daddy knows that being bound in these earthly bodies, our natural tendency is to forget.
Have you ever wondered how easy it is for you to forget about all the good things someone has done for you the moment that person hurts you?

It is nothing intentional, but then in our nature, we are more drawn to the negatives than to the positives. The world we live in is an evil one; that being said, we must be rest-assured that so long as we are here, in this world, the bad will always be projected and magnified over the good.

But, as Sons and Daughters of the Most High God, we must consciously purpose in our hearts and minds to dwell on the good and not on the bad people do to us.

I have not done a great job at this in recent weeks…

The good thing is, when He speaks, we ought to listen and to obey. The Psalmist says, “If today you hear His voice, harden not your heart.”

The point is, once this realization comes to you, it is up to you to make the bold step of making things right. Holy Spirit Is ever- ready to guide and show us how.
I just realised, also, that when I choose to dwell on the good things the person has done and turn a blind eye to the wrong he/she may have done, it makes my heart lighter and it gives me freedom to live above offences.

I believe it is possible.

I believe that we can purpose in our hearts and minds to fix our gaze on the good a person does.
Mind you, it does not mean we condone sin, on the contrary, such a perspective gives us the ability to better rebuke in love and it further gives us the courage to still believe that they are good and hope that they can be better.

I believe that we can and will do better.

Finally, brethren, regardless of what you may be going through in this season, please, do not give up on faith and hope in Who your Father Is.

We are admonished to earnestly remember all the marvelous things He has done. We must always and consciously remember His Goodness. We must cling on to that virtue of Our Father ever-tightly. If for nothing at all, remember that He sent Jesus Christ to die for you and to redeem you from the shackles of sin and the eternal slavery that was bound to destroy you both on this Earth and Hell forever.

We serve a Good God; He Is Our Father…regardless.

Do not forget!

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...

Daughter of the King by Jamie Grace ft. Morgan Harper Nichols

[Verse 1: Jamie Grace] They tell me I'm too young Tell me I'm not beautiful I'm not good enough I'm not worth anything at all They tell me I dream too much I got my head in the clouds Maybe I'm just hoping For something better than what I see now A world where every girl knows [Chorus 1: Jamie Grace] The Maker of skies, the Maker of seas The Maker of every beautiful thing He made you, He made you too The mountain high, the river wide He tells the sun when to set and rise And He made you, He made you too You're a daughter of the King So tell me, what does that make you? [Verse 2: Morgan Harper Nichols] So put your shoulders back Don't you know that you're beautiful You don't gotta tell 'em that, no Just walk around like you know And if you see our sister (if you see our sister) Looking like she forgot Like her dreams got crushed You better remind her [Chorus 1: Morgan Harper Nichols] The Maker of skies, the Maker o...
