With my own eyes

Father, I will admit that all this while, I have been looking at You through the lens of other people.

 They are not bad people, but I know now that You want me to look at You as You Are and as You reveal Yourself to me.

 Now I say...

 "Father, no more do I wish to know You through other people. No more do I want to know You as he or she knows You. I want to know You for myself. I want to see You with my own eyes. and Lord I swear, that I will take everything You show me as TRUTH. I will take every word You speak to me as LIFE. I will guard every utterance You make to me with my life. I will hold on to it tightly and if ever I find myself in a place where I am called to deny all that You have told me, I will give my life in exchange of that denial"

 All I ask, Papa...

 "Come find me. Come find Your dwelling in me. Come Papa, Your Majesty, summon me to Your Throne Room. Send Your emissaries, Your Heavenly Angels to summon me to You. Your Majesty, please look with favour upon me...Your Princess and call me to training. I am ready and willing to know You and to find myself in You."

 "I swear Papa, that whoever You say that I am is who I shall be. Whichever name You call me is who I shall become."

 By myself I am not diligent enough to find You.
By myself, I am nothing and greatly incapacitated.

 So I beckon You Papa, call me; come for me; send for me.
Clothe me with Your Spirit, that I may come when You send for me.

 Like a child, I am ready to start school.
Like an eager Royal child, I am ready to learn the art of war.
Like a student, I am ready to learn from her Master.

 Kabiyesi, summon me Papa.

 Look with favour upon Your Princess.
Have mercy on me, Your Highness.

 Call me to You My King,

 I call on Your name.

 I call on Your name oh King.

 I call on Your name oh Kind and Merciful Father.

 Look with kindness upon me, Papa.

 ...and bring me to You.

 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...
