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!

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...

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...

3 Things I Admire About King David

Hello Sharing Life fam! How is the going? I hope everything is kosher. One of the things I am most thankful for is to be a member of the Word & Spirit Feasts family. At the Word & Spirit Feasts, we have learnt how important structure is as we endeavour to be all that ABBA has called us to be. One of the principles that make a good spiritual structure is Bible Reading. I just finished 1Kings Chapter 2 and would like to share 3 things I admire about King David. 1. King David did not entertain guilt and condemnation I have learnt that one thing the devil specialises in is condemnation. He is the accuser of the brethren for a reason. His commitment is in ensuring that we stay feeling bad for wrong done. One thing my spiritual father would say is: the devil will accuse of not doing the right thing and when you do the right thing, he will accuse you that it is not enough. That is what he does best. But, we see in 2Samuel 11 tha...
