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...

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...

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 ...
