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.

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...

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...

30 things I love about you: pt. 7-9

Happy Monday, baby! Can’t believe we are a week away. I am nervous… in a good day. I pray you have a great day on that day. 7. I love the way you pray for me Baaaabe! Thank you for always praying for me. I get to see your heart every time you pray for me. On the hardest days, you are there to cover me in prayer. On the happy days, you are there to thank ABBA with me. Thank you. I love it when you pray. Bruh! You pray so well, by ABBA’s Grace. I love you. Thank you. 8. I love how you seek opportunities to correct my childhood traumas. I remember that one time I shared the story of how we used to manage food in my home as a child. I told you about how our stew was always little with a lot of rice or yam or whatever. I remember how on that day I shared this with you, we were having lunch at your parents’. I recall how you went to the kitchen and fetched so much stew for me. It meant a lot and on so many occasions, I have seen you seek opportunities to correct ...
