SHARING LIFE

I am learning that there is nothing about vulnerability that Jesus Christ Himself has not experienced.  I strongly sense that when we dwell in the Secret Place of Jesus and His food becomes our food and His desires become ours, we get in touch with all that we truly are. We feel more than we think is humanly possible. We feel the very heartbeat of God. Our Spirits become One is such unison that it is death to even imagine what a separation from God will cause us. Imagine Jesus Christ being in such a place of separation from God when He took upon Himself the sin of this World. I can't fathom the depth of emptiness he felt.  Isaiah 53 reads: Who has believed our message     and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? 2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot,     and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,     nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. 3 He was...

I feel obliged to entreat you to seek individuality in God.  You are a part of Jesus' Body. But, you are single and you have your uniqueness.  Do not attempt to use others as the benchmark for defining yourself and for determining how your life story should be. Beloved, use the Word of God. I have come to realise that just as there is One Body with many parts, so does the Word of God define our individuality, although we are a part of God's Body. There is a version of the Amplified Bible which says in Ephesians 6 that Holy Spirit wields the Word of God. When we read Scripture, Holy Spirit ministers to us according to our season and what we need to know in that moment. That explains why another will read the same Scripture and be ministered to differently. Mind you, there is no contradiction in God's Word. The Word of God IS our standard and although HE ministers to us individually, He does not contradict Himself.  Darling, learn to know the Word ...

Today, I was privileged to hear one of my bosses share a story of how she managed to rescue herself from a bathroom she had mistakenly locked herself in. She made a statement that caught my attention, "If anyone had ever told me I could jump this wall, I would never have believed".  But in time, she actually did climb that wall😂. Isn't it true what they say, "Necessity is the mother of invention".  Scripture tells us that we can do all things through Christ. I am learning that once I am willing to do something, I can actually do it. By my strength, I will not prevail but by Holy Spirit, hahaaaa... I can move mountains. Hallelujah!!! There was a time when I thought that I could only achieve certain feats when I had some particular people in my life. But, Holy Spirit is teaching, through separation and other means that I can do all things because of Him and not because of another. My love, don't get me wrong.  We need people to reach...

This week, I am learning to be careful of unguarded statements. There are those statements that I have made in the past which have influenced a lot of my actions.  We must be very vigilant and careful of our utterances because they have the ability to imprison us.  Some statements I had made about my life put me in a place where I thought they would surely come to pass. This bothered me a lot of times and prevented me from embracing change. The truth is, sometimes, these flashes recur but to God's Glory, I am learning to be deaf towards them and I move on as if nothing happened.  Also, I have come to realise that some members of the Kingdom sometimes make statements and accept certain things as normal although these statements are not our reality as believers. So we hear that some people have ‘fallen’ in their faith walk and because of this, we have come to accept it as the norm where we believe that our walk must be characterised by rising and falling,...

 I had myself in a state where it seemed like everything in my life was craving my attention... all at once. I mean, how do you cope when you have so much going on and it seems like you just don’t know what to do, where to start from or where to turn? Actually, that is not true. There is a solution on what to do and there is a place you can turn to… Jesus Christ. You start with Jesus Christ. Beloved, there is a truth about the Secret Place of the Most High...and it is REAL !!! I noticed that the reason I was struggling was because I hadn’t sought the Lord in that Secret Place. The more time I spent outside the Secret Place, the more I lost clarity on a lot of issues, the more I lost sight of what mattered most and the more I lost myself trying to put all the pieces together. You see, after you have tasted Jesus Christ in His Secret Place, it is impossible to carry on in life without it. The point is, the level of peace and wholeness you receive in the presence of Jes...

Why do I fear? I won’t say I have a fear because my fears are not on vain things. One of the things I ‘fear’ is Daddy’s visitation. I have seen in Scriptures how people of old trembled at the sight of an Angel or when these persons had Daddy visiting them. Most times, when I think upon these things, I get frightened. I don’t know how I can manage to contain myself when He comes. Will I hide? Will I cry? Will I just collapse or will I act like I haven’t seen Him? This is making me a Tamela Mann already. Hahaha…weird huh? These questions have been on heart for as long as I can remember. Sometimes I think I am too expectant but I know that my expectations will not be cut off. Today, I came across Mark 4. Mark 4:35-41 talks about Jesus calming the storm. When His disciples were getting frantic because of the storm, Jesus Christ asked them of why they were afraid and why they lacked faith. I pondered on Jesus' statement awhile and this led me to ask...

God speaks. I kid you not. Lately, the voice of God to me has been on the subject of 'diligence'. Most times, when interacting with people, I sense in their utterances, the thought that I am doing a lot. Honestly, I am under-performing.  One of my struggles in my Christian walk had to do with putting in the work. In my defense, I most often say that I am weak. You know, the truth is that when I think upon the attitude I need to develop in seeking God, I get overwhelmed because humanly speaking, I cannot do that much. Anyway, I was reading the Book of Isaiah today, and I came across this piece of the Scripture in Isaiah 65:21 (KJV): 21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. 22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. 23 They shal...

For the first part of this two-day series, we looked at our relationship with Daddy.  We looked at how our knowledge of Daddy's heart concerning us influences our approach towards Him and how we handle life's issues.  Today, we will look at our human relationships in line with Psalms 33. I gathered from Psalm 33:15 that because Daddy created you and me, it is possible to ask Him to reveal the heart of our neighbours to us. I think that is where discernment comes in...right? Let me bring this down to the relationship between a man and a woman.  I realised, after reading this part of Scripture, that the main reason why we are seeing an increase in divorce rates and a total breakdown in love relationships is a lack of understanding of Who Daddy IS and what He IS capable of doing for us in our relationships (for lack of a better expression). I learnt form reading Psalm 33 that I can reach out to Daddy to show me the heart of my beloved. That way, I can be...

A friend of mine and I are doing the "Bible in a year" plan together. We chose to do this together for accountability purposes.  We read Psalm 33-35 today. There is a verse in Psalms 33 that talks about Daddy understanding the actions of man because it Is He Who formed our hearts. (Aha! Prayer point right there.) I learnt that to know Daddy's heart is a means through which I can understand why He does the things He does. Daddy loves me. This is His heart concerning me.  From this premise, I can believe my life is His and in His hands. If so, then I can trust that so long as I abide in Him and I seek Him and His will daily, only good will come near my dwelling. Not to say that trials will not come; but, I am assured that in all of these He loves me and as His Word says to me, those trials will work out for my good. I have also learnt that dwelling on my knowledge of His heart means that I can trust His 'silence'. Sometimes, it se...

Yaaay!!! Welcome to day 30! Sorry I have been away for awhile. I wish to share some findings i have personally made with you. The first is about the Word of God... My dear, I kid you not when I say that in this life, there are some prayers you will never find yourself uttering until you have made contact with the Word of God. To God's Glory,  I have made some strategic prayers which I know were only possible because I had encountered the Word of God. Ephesians 6 tells us that Holy Spirit weilds the Word of God. God's Word Is the Sword of the Spirit . This means that He Is mandated to perform the Word of God planted on our hearts and shot forth with our lips. I pray we delve deeper into the Word of God. Holy Spirit Will help us if we call on Him. He Is Ever ready to feed you with the richness of God Word. The second is on prayer... I testify that indeed, praying changes you. Sometimes, it is not the environment which ought to change but us. It is prayer that does t...

Welcome to day twenty-nine! God Is faithful! Today at church, my pastor made mention of an old woman who joined the group that went for the Church's Easter pilgrimage yesterday. The priest said that this old woman was resting on one of the rocks with her handbag placed on her head when the group was climbing the mountain. One of the infirmarians suggested that instead of climbing the mountain, she should rather go back to the chapel. They promised to say prayers on her behalf. The old lady declined. My pastor narrated how she told them that it was for this reason (to climb the mountain and to make her pilgrimage) that she had come all the way to the Volta Region and, no matter how long it took, she would complete the course. The old lady said that if ever she got tired again, she would sit awhile to rest and then carry on with the journey. Wooow. To God's Glory,  she completed the course and got to the top of the mountain. The passion of Jesus Christ also shows us ho...

I woke up with a song by Jerry K on my heart. The title of the song is "The Air I Breathe". There is a part of the Song that mentions the "Balm of Gilead". I have heard this so many times from Mother Juanita Bynum but I never knew what it was. So today, I decided to search the Scriptures and I came across Jeremiah 8:22 and the further referral to Our Lord, Jesus Christ and He being Th Balm of Gilead. " Jesus Christ Is the cure to the malignancy of our souls " Now, I get to sing this song by revelation of what the Scriptures say about Him. In school today, I had a terrible headache. It was the kind of headache that produced pain even at a mere shaking of the head.  Initially I thought I needed water and so I took a lot of it when I returned home. Later, I figured it was hunger and I got something to eat...even worse. As I laid down on my parents' bed, Holy Spirit brought to mind what I had read in the morning on the Balm of Gilead. Holy Spirit ...

I have a testimony on my heart today. I am praising Daddy for His Faithfulness to me! I have been longing to find that special place where I can call my meeting place with Daddy and to His Glory, I finally found that place and I am excited about this... Glory to Jesus!!! I went for Ps. Benji Amoah's "Prayer feast" this March and I had an expectation. I had to forgo a field work to attend this event and I am so glad I made that sacrifice(it was going to pay well). To the Glory of Jesus, I have what I was looking for and I am so happy. Beloved, the secret place of the Most High Is real. You see, I am yet to have one of those out-of-the-world encounters but still, the encounter I have with His Word and in His presence is more than enough for me. I believe that as I seek Him, all other things will fall in place. I know it will because His Word says so! Do you have a testimony to share? I would love to read yours too. Best regards, Sharing Life.

[Verse 1: Jamie Grace] They tell me I'm too young Tell me I'm not beautiful I'm not good enough I'm not worth anything at all They tell me I dream too much I got my head in the clouds Maybe I'm just hoping For something better than what I see now A world where every girl knows [Chorus 1: Jamie Grace] The Maker of skies, the Maker of seas The Maker of every beautiful thing He made you, He made you too The mountain high, the river wide He tells the sun when to set and rise And He made you, He made you too You're a daughter of the King So tell me, what does that make you? [Verse 2: Morgan Harper Nichols] So put your shoulders back Don't you know that you're beautiful You don't gotta tell 'em that, no Just walk around like you know And if you see our sister (if you see our sister) Looking like she forgot Like her dreams got crushed You better remind her [Chorus 1: Morgan Harper Nichols] The Maker of skies, the Maker o...

I sincerely hope I successfully post this piece without breaking down in my office today. Holy Spirit, cause me to baby-cry if I have to. Jeremiah 2:31-32 The Message (MSG) 31-32 “What a generation you turned out to be!     Didn’t I tell you? Didn’t I warn you? Have I let you down, Israel?     Am I nothing but a dead-end street? Why do my people say, ‘Good riddance!     From now on we’re on our own’? Young women don’t forget their jewelry, do they?     Brides don’t show up without their veils, do they? But my people forget me.     Day after day after day they never give me a thought I came across this piece of Scripture early this morning and I was moved to tears.  I could feel Our Father's heart on this matter. Beloved, has Daddy been unfaithful to us? Has He been a dry and desolate place in our lives? Has He brought only harm and destruction our way? Has He not loved us enough? Has He not been our peace en...

I had a very interesting day today. God has been faithful to me and I give Him the praise. This is my testimony: Before hitting the sack yesterday, I was contemplating between staying at home and having alone time with Jesus or going to church to fellowship with the brethren. I woke up and I quickly began ironing my parents' clothes for first Mass. I made up my mind to go to church instead (staying at home could tempt me to work on other assignments in addition to spending alone time with Jesus and I didn't want that). I had an overwhelming sense to speak in tongues...I could feel the urge welling up inside of me. I assisted mummy to get ready and then I was left alone in the house (I planned to attend the second Mass). I inserted my drive and started worshiping as I was taking care of my chores. After a while, I was getting late for church and I was in a bit of a rush. I wanted to cut short my chores when in my heart, I heard, 'but you can still proceed with ...
