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...

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...

Show up

Two weeks ago, I published a post titled, " Cornerstone " and in that post, I shared how Holy Spirit had thought me about what it means to put Jesus first in seeking Him. I talked about how by prioritizing time spent with Him, it meant that all the other areas/facets of my life would find their alignment from this one choice. Today, I bring you updates from this post and a few things to share. Before I get to it, let me say how grateful I am to God for the Grace to remember this truth and prioritize Him. Honestly, to God be all the Glory. Last week, I was reading the book of Daniel and in chapter 1, I saw how Daniel and his 3 friends chose to prioritize their devotion to God above what the Babylonian king wanted them to do. In the chapter, we see how ABBA made them 10x better than their contemporaries. So today, I want to share Daniel 1: 17-20 "17 As for these four youths, God gave them learning and s kill in all literat...
