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...

Day eleven: The Authentic Hgh

This morning, I was pondering over a video Tabitha Brown posted on instagram  a few days ago ( link here ). In her video, she was talking about how people were always sending her Dms to tone down on how much she speaks of Jesus in all her work. She said a lot of meaningful things which you will find in the link I have attached.  My Quiet Time last week Friday was sourced from Timothy 4:8 which reads " For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things,  holding promise for both the present life  and the life to come. " It was a super "Aha" moment for me because I found a scripture from the Bible which assures me that I will profit a great deal from my resolve, to live for God, both in the now life and in the life which is to come. How cool is that?!  Now that the premise for today's post has been laid, let me tell you what the authentic high is all about. This is going to get personal... it is the only way I can properly relay the mes...

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...
