Day thirty-seven: It is inside of you

Today, I was privileged to hear one of my bosses share a story of how she managed to rescue herself from a bathroom she had mistakenly locked herself in.

She made a statement that caught my attention, "If anyone had ever told me I could jump this wall, I would never have believed". 
But in time, she actually did climb that wall😂.

Isn't it true what they say, "Necessity is the mother of invention". 

Scripture tells us that we can do all things through Christ. I am learning that once I am willing to do something, I can actually do it. By my strength, I will not prevail but by Holy Spirit, hahaaaa... I can move mountains. Hallelujah!!!

There was a time when I thought that I could only achieve certain feats when I had some particular people in my life. But, Holy Spirit is teaching, through separation and other means that I can do all things because of Him and not because of another.

My love, don't get me wrong. 
We need people to reach far in life... God-ordained people, I mean, but there is a place for that and there is a place for learning to do things on your own with only the Spirit of Jesus Christ with you.

It is a tough place to find yourself but trust me when I tell you that it is a blessing... A true Gift of God. 
...when Holy Spirit teaches you how to slay, Himself 😄.

This week, I have achieved feats which I never thought I could.
I have gained certain perspectives I never thought I would.
I have encountered people I never thought I could.
I have grown in certain areas where I never thought I could do alone.

Hahaha...God Is Glorious.

Child of God, what makes you think you can't?
What makes you think that Greatness is not inside of you?

You have Holy Spirit in you.
You have Jesus residing on the inside of you.
Hahaaa. Hallelujah!

There is nothing like persecution that does not birth greatness.
You are more than a conqueror. 

I pray for you and I pray for me that we may find ourselves in many many 'uncomfortable' situations which will birth in us, growth upon growth, spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing, Grace upon Grace, and Favour upon Favour..

Hallelujah!!!

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...

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...

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...
