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...

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...
