Vals day blues

Happy three-in-one day!
Of course, and happy four-in-one for the football lovers?

If I had anything to say on this day of vals and chocolate and ashes, what would it be?


1. Remember Who loves you to the core.

The One Who created you loved you even before you were conceived. He carefully formed you...and made you unique. 
If today, you doubt that, you should ask Him. He will tell you. Daddy will show you through His Word, the Bible of Who He Is, Who you are, and how much love He has for you.

2. Learn and grow to love yourself. 

I, for one, did not love me when I was younger. 
I hated myself and I didn't like the face I saw whenever I looked into the mirror. 
I saw this ugly girl who was just not correct. 

But through Jesus Christ, and His Holy Spirit, I love myself. I talk to myself. I look into a mirror and I properly address myself. I laugh, I cry, I pat myself at the back and I give it to me whenever I am not doing the right thing. I ask myself questions: why am I doing what I am doing? I encourage myself. I hug myself. I am my friend. 

I couldn't have come to number 2 if number 1 wasn't in the picture.
You see, my friend, it is God Who gives us the ability to love ourselves. 

the devil deals in counterfeits and that is where people in the world, who claim to love themselves, touch themselves wrongly and masturbate and engage in all forms of sexual and disruptive acts. 

Jesus Christ helps us to appreciate ourselves enough to desire to make the right choices in life.
Because of the love He has bestowed upon me for me, I am able to stand up and not hurt myself or allow myself to be hurt. I am able, by is Grace, to stand up for myself against anyone who will try to harm me...my soul, my body and my spirit. Jesus makes this possible. 

You would realise that whenever you are unable to love yourself properly, people who come into your life are at liberty to treat you in whichever manner they think you ought to be treated. Some people tend to treat us how we treat ourselves. Lisa Nichols often says, "You are the mirror of how you ought to be treated". It doesn't come easy, my friend, but Jesus Christ makes all thing possible. Hallelujah!

3. Learn how to love others.
You can only give to others what you have and when you are running out, make sure you go back to your Source in number 1, to be refilled. Holy Spirit fills us up with all the love we need, to love on people. It is possible if we ask Him. 
Do you believe? Jesus makes it possible.


My dear, these are three things I want to share with you today.

Please remember that by ourselves, we can do nothing. But with Jesus Christ through His Holy Spirit, we can know Who our true Father Is, understand His love for us, be enlightened to love and appreciate ourselves, and be equipped to pour this love out on others. Be blessed be blessed be blessed. My heart is so full after typing this piece.

God bless you Sammy, for the push.

Blessings,
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...

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...
