Day thirty-eight: Individuality (Daddy and His Word)

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 of God for yourself.
All you need do is to start...even if they are baby steps, they are better than nothing

As you know God's Word, you grow in the knowledge of yourself.
The Word of God Is our life's manual.
But, I have learnt that when we search Scripture, by God's Grace, we find in Scripture a portion that describes who we are and our life's purpose. 
Don't forget: we are the Body of Christ.
We are Jesus Christ on Earth. 
It is the spirit that makes man and once we have the Spirit of Jesus Christ in our Bodies, then we are Jesus Christ.

Beloved.

There is a portion of Scripture in Isaiah which resonates with my spirit and gives me an indication of what my life's purpose is. What I see happening is that the Word of Knowledge I have received from ministers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ are in conformity with what I believe that particular chapter of the Book of Isaiah says about me.

Where in Scripture do you find yourself?

Which portion of Scripture can you say Holy Spirit really taught you or ministered to you by?
Or do you think this is impossible and happens to only a select-few?
This is for all of us, baby. 
For all of us who believe.

I pray you believe.
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...

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...
