Day twenty eight: the Balm of Gilead

I woke up with a song by Jerry K on my heart. The title of the song is "The Air I Breathe".

There is a part of the Song that mentions the "Balm of Gilead".

I have heard this so many times from Mother Juanita Bynum but I never knew what it was.

So today, I decided to search the Scriptures and I came across Jeremiah 8:22 and the further referral to Our Lord, Jesus Christ and He being Th Balm of Gilead.
"Jesus Christ Is the cure to the malignancy of our souls"
Now, I get to sing this song by revelation of what the Scriptures say about Him.

In school today, I had a terrible headache.
It was the kind of headache that produced pain even at a mere shaking of the head.
Initially I thought I needed water and so I took a lot of it when I returned home. Later, I figured it was hunger and I got something to eat...even worse.

As I laid down on my parents' bed, Holy Spirit brought to mind what I had read in the morning on the Balm of Gilead. Holy Spirit taught me that morning that Jesus not only Is the Balm but He also Is the Physician.

I laid down with my hand on my head and I began to pray.
I spoke Scriptures and I engaged what Holy Spirit had taught me that morning.

Afterwards, I slept.

I woke up not long ago to find my headache completely gone.
I have shaken my head severally and there is no single trace of headache or pain.

To God be the Glory !!!

I look forward to finding Jesus Christ in the Scriptures and even more so, I believe in Holy Spirit's leading to guide me along the various tests to follow.

To God be the Glory !!!

I pray you have a thirst for knowledge of the Scriptures and I so pray that the Spirit of Wisdom becomes your Friend too.

Best regards,
Sharing Life.

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...

Day eleven: The Authentic Hgh

This morning, I was pondering over a video Tabitha Brown posted on instagram a few days ago ( link here ). In her video, she was talking about how people were always sending her Dms to tone down on how much she speaks of Jesus in all her work. She said a lot of meaningful things which you will find in the link I have attached. My Quiet Time last week Friday was sourced from Timothy 4:8 which reads " For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. " It was a super "Aha" moment for me because I found a scripture from the Bible which assures me that I will profit a great deal from my resolve, to live for God, both in the now life and in the life which is to come. How cool is that?! Now that the premise for today's post has been laid, let me tell you what the authentic high is all about. This is going to get personal... it is the only way I can properly relay the mes...

Day One: One Good Turn Deserves Another

It feels so good to come back to writing, especially for this series! The 40-day reflections have been the most intensive seasons of my writing life. It is beautiful to observe how in the beginning, the writings seem rusty and then as they days go by, they begin to flow freely. After such a long break, I wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes the experience but hey, miracles happen every day! Praise the Lord! Today, I am sharing on kindness: There is this saying, “ One Good Turn Deserves Another ”, which in simple terms means: if someone does you a favour, you should take the chance to repay it . If you live by this proverb, you may do good to others with the expectation that when it is your turn to be shown such kindness, it is reciprocated in an equal or greater measure. I’m not sure that’s entirely a good posture for us as believers. I’m reminded of the piece of Scripture in which Jesus asks us to particularly do good to those we know will be...
