JUST RUN

I learnt something when I was reading the sixth and seventh chapters of the Book of Genesis.
I read about how Daddy(God) gave Noah 7 days to build the ark that was going to house his entire family and all the various kinds of animals of this earth...in single and seven pairs.

I was trying to comprehend how Noah was able to build the ark in seven days. Then I thought to myself how natural it would have been to tell God that, 'It's only seven days and how am I going to get all these done in seven days?!'

But I learnt that when Daddy gives an assignment, He has already counted the cost. He knows exactly what He Is doing and if He has said something or given an assignment, it means it can be done.

...But, if it will he done, it is up to us.
It takes a willingness to undertake the task. Are you willing?

I began to wonder how Noah was going get all these animals into the ark. Then I came across the 15th verse of the seventh chapter which reads, 'Pairs of all creatures that have life in them came to Noah and entered the ark.' 
I saw here that Daddy Himself caused the animals to enter the ark.

Daddy knew the end. He knew how everything was going to pan out. Had Noah worried about the hows, he would have been crippled by the many 'what ifs' and that would have just hindered the progression of his assignment.

Guess what, he went straight to work...and God did it!

Our walk is filled with many many assignments but guess what?

THE ZEAL OF THE LORD WILL ACCOMPLISH IT.

When Daddy calls and gives you an assignment, don't look left, don't look right and don't even look back at where you are coming from.

Baby, just run straight ahead.

Just run.

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...
