Day nineteen: the unworthy you feel, the nearer you should go to Him.

I wasn't happy with an occurrence which took place last night.
It was so bad to the point where I couldn't sleep well in the night.

I went to the office today and I still felt short of God's Glory. I was in a bad state and I kept 'beating my chest' because I knew I had erred.

Guilt took the better part of me and a feeling of unworthiness started to creep in. In such instances, the first thought that such a feeling will bring to mind is that you don't deserve God's Grace or His love.

I know of people who after committing a wrong deed have run away and hidden themselves because they fear God's wrath. It is almost a sort of reflex action; the very moment we do wrong, the first thing we do is to hide in shame. This is not and this shouldn't be our norm as believers.

It is in times like these that we need to go nearer to Jesus. See, only Jesus can cleanse us and make us better humans.

By God's Grace, I prayed and I sought Daddy's help and I was blessed to receive godly advice when I needed it. This evening, I dare say that I am in a much better place than I was yesterday. To God be the Glory!

When Jesus came on earth, He came so that He might save us from sin. He came to prove to us the depth of Our Father's love for us and to renew our relationship with Him. He did not shun those who had negatively been labelled by the world.

Whenever you feel unworthy, that is when you need Jesus the more. We need to daily remind ourselves of what God's word says concerning us...lest we easily fall prey to the devices of satan.

God Is ever near to the broken-hearted.
A pure and contrite heart, Our Lord will not despise.
If we confess our sins, He Is Faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

We are safe so long as we trust the Safety our Father signifies.
He Is Our Security.

Let us trust His heart concerning us.

In Jesus's name,
Amen!

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...

30 things I love about you: pt. 10-12

Hi babe, 6 more days to go. We thank ABBA for everything. 10. I love the way we resolve conflict. I truly appreciate the posture with which you approach conflicts. Thank you for showing me that your posture is always to do what is needed for us to move forward. Thank you for showing that your goal isn't to find who is at fault and then crucify the person but rather to identify how to build from there and keep building. It took me a while to know this and thjs knowledge gives me the peace to resolve issues with you. I pray ABBA'S blessings for you, always. 11. I love how you give me room. You don't hold me back. You push and keep pushing me to strive for excellence and to be the best. Thank you for pushing me to start Doux! Thank you for pushing me to take my place. I encountered a man, whom I thought I loved, who was more concerned about me putting my ministry and dreams aside to pursue his. He never encouraged me if it didn't fit his "ideas". One of the mai...

30 things I love about you: pt. 7-9

Happy Monday, baby! Can’t believe we are a week away. I am nervous… in a good day. I pray you have a great day on that day. 7. I love the way you pray for me Baaaabe! Thank you for always praying for me. I get to see your heart every time you pray for me. On the hardest days, you are there to cover me in prayer. On the happy days, you are there to thank ABBA with me. Thank you. I love it when you pray. Bruh! You pray so well, by ABBA’s Grace. I love you. Thank you. 8. I love how you seek opportunities to correct my childhood traumas. I remember that one time I shared the story of how we used to manage food in my home as a child. I told you about how our stew was always little with a lot of rice or yam or whatever. I remember how on that day I shared this with you, we were having lunch at your parents’. I recall how you went to the kitchen and fetched so much stew for me. It meant a lot and on so many occasions, I have seen you seek opportunities to correct ...
