Day three: even when i don't see it.

The past few days have been disconcerting...to say the least.

Sometimes, all seems well but other times, it looks like my life keeps moving in circles.

In all these, my confession still remains, "It is well" <some day, I will explain the background to this confession>.

I have been praying a particular prayer in these past days. I have had a particular cry on my heart for a while now.

I hear people say that they prayed and then the answer came through this and through that etc.

I was invited by my friend to a church programme on Tuesday. Honestly, I was on the verge of cancelling when I decided against it.

After the meeting, I requested for the teachings they watched. I honestly had no idea when i would have the opportunity to watch it considering how loaded my days have been in the past months. Yet, I went ahead and I took them.

Today was my lowest. My soul was in a state of somewhat despair. I came home early and the first thing I sought to do was to watch those sermons.

The first one I watched was a complete answer to all my questions and the deepest longings of my heart. Now, I will pursue these sound truths presented in the Word of God and delivered by this preacher with the assurance that things will come into full circle.

What happened today strengthened my belief that even when it seems like things are getting out of control and I don't have the clarity that I need, God Is still in control.

This testimony is to encourage you today:

Hold on to Jesus Christ and keep your confession that regardless of whatever might be happening externally and even on the inside of your heart and mind, Jesus Christ still remains Lord and He Is in control.

Surrender all your struggles and issues to Him and don't run away from Him when things get jiggy in life. Rather, allow your heart to be vulnerable and cry out to Him.

Seek His will for your life and never stop asking for His will to be done in your life.

He loves you too much to allow any other will to manifest in your life.

God bless you.

With lots of love,

Sharing Life.

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...
