Day sixteen: you have a choice

We actually have a choice in all things.

We have the choice to choose Life or choose death.

We have a choice to say 'no' or to say 'yes'.

We have a choice to put on brakes and say, "stop' or "pause".

What at all made us think that we cannot make a choice or we do not have a choice in life?

I guess what makes it hard for us to make choices is the fact that we are not ready or willing to take responsibility for the choices we must make.

Whoever said I don't have a choice? I do have a choice.

I am learning today not to give my power of choice to anyone else?

Yes, Holy Spirit must have sovereignty over my choices but essentially, I choose to let Him or not.

Of course, there are those times when He would have to veto certain things but basically, I have a choice. And so do you.

I want us to pledge to ourselves to take responsibility for our actions.

I want us to decide not to yield this power to another by default.

I want us to be intentional about our lives and the things we entertain. I speak not only to you but to me as well.

Are you ready and willing to take responsibility of your life?

Are you ready to be an adult and say yes to Life and no to death?

Are you ready to aspire to and live out the life Jesus has given you?

Are you ready to be the Light you are called to be?

Make up your mind.

So many of us are not resolute in our decisions... I am one of them.

Say yes and mean it. Say 'not yet' and stand by it.

Your life is too valuable to be 'trying' your way through. C'mon.

Stop thinking that you do not have the power to be the very best version of yourself. You have that power. Make up your mind to choose excellence over mediocrity; to choose the hard work needed for excellence. Whoever told you it is impossible lied to you. Decide to take that choice of possibility back!

I have the power to make that decision.

AND SO DO YOU...

Shalom.

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...
