Child-like faith...


This evening, whiles I was buying food, I heard a little boy singing, “I will never never never forget Jesus. I will never, I will never. I will never never never forget Jesus. I will never forget my Lord.”
My eyes were filled with tears as I listened to this little one.

I want this child-like faith and enthusiasm.
I want this child-like ‘thing’ that makes one trust Father completely.
I want the vulnerability that comes with being a child…a child of The King.
I want to be free to ask for what I need and want and not fear that Daddy will not grant them.
I want the audacity to go into His presence at any time and not be bothered about protocol, because He Is my Father!
I want to be bold and honest about who I am, how I am and what I am. Yes, He knows already. But. I still want to let Him know.
I want to be a child to my Father forever.

I do not want to think that as I grow, things must change and so I have to ‘woman’ up… so much so that I must realise that I cannot ask my Father for anything because this world says it is ‘impossible’!
I am not against maturity…there is a difference.
We must mature, most certainly.
But, that must not bring us to that point where we feel like we are supposed to take care of our own selves to the extent that we forget that we are His kids.

He Is our Daddy; He doesn’t change…so, why must we?

Father, where did we learn to become all ‘grown-up’?

Personally, I want to be a daughter… I know I am already. 
But, I want to be deliberate in my relationship with You.
Honestly, I want to be a child…Your child.
Holy Spirit, will You please teach me how to be a daughter to Daddy?

Please.

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...
