Day twenty: you are not defined by your past

Many times we identify ourselves by the mistakes we have made in our past.

I asked a lady to tell me about herself and I noted that she kept telling me who she is by dwelling on her past mistakes.
Oh dear.
Is this not the same blunder we make?
We have so easily identified who we are by our careers, our jobs, our educational status, our businesses, etc.

Who we are is greater than what we do.
This is why Jesus Is more concerned about the fellowship We can have with Him which can produce in us the ability to become all that Daddy has created us to be.
Daddy Is more concerned about who we are becoming and not entirely about what we are doing.

Today, endeavour to find out who you are in the Word of God. This knowledge will keep you firmly rooted in Jesus, my dear.

Knowledge of who you are is necessary because it helps you to rise up whenever you fall.

Please know that I have made some serious blunders in my life as well. What has made the difference for me, by the Grace of God, is the knowledge of who I am and Whose I am.

This relationship is available for anyone who is willing to start afresh with Jesus.

Please, do not sleep in your past. There is a better and brighter future for you as you endeavour to devote your life to live for Jesus.

I pray that we receive available Grace to diligently seek God in His Word, and in effect, find out for ourselves, Who Jesus Christ says we are.

Remain blessed.

With Love,
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 ...
