Day forty: Intimacy with Daddy gives us a burden for souls

Why do we intercede?

It is because of souls.

Pastor Daniel Hammond taught me something I will never forget: the territory of the Kingdom of God is a soul. Which means that when we win more souls to Jesus, the Kingdom of God gains more territory.

Daddy's Kingdom coming means that His rule, His reign should dwell richly in the hearts of men.

Beloved, I am learning that the desire for souls, I mean true and authentic desire for souls, is birthed out of intimacy with the Father.

Beloved, once you grow in your fellowship with Daddy, you feel His heart on all issues...especially those concerning souls. You get furious when you see the devil taking over the life of a person and your heart aches for the individual.

I say true and authentic desire because some people treat souls like money. They think that soulwinning is just a green card to make Heaven and fulfill spiritual principles which guarantee Daddy's favour.

Baby, you need to know that although indeed, you will attract favour from the Lord by engaging these principles, Daddy looks at your motives and searches your heart to know the reason for your action.

I trust God that I will get to the point where I am able to move about to preach His Word fearlessly. While I wait, I will not cease to make Him known through my writings and my words and I will not cease praying for those He lays on my heart to pray for.

I have also come to realise that whenever He places someone on my heart to pray for, one thing Holy Spirit leads me to pray for is that they may know Him. I believe in growth and I know that we will grow in soulwinning.

My sincere prayer for us all is that we will grow in depth of the knowledge of Daddy's heart.

I pray that we will grow in intimacy with Jesus Christ so much so that we will thirst for all men to come to the knowledge of the saving power of Jesus Christ.

Shalom shalom !!!

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...

Show up

Two weeks ago, I published a post titled, " Cornerstone " and in that post, I shared how Holy Spirit had thought me about what it means to put Jesus first in seeking Him. I talked about how by prioritizing time spent with Him, it meant that all the other areas/facets of my life would find their alignment from this one choice. Today, I bring you updates from this post and a few things to share. Before I get to it, let me say how grateful I am to God for the Grace to remember this truth and prioritize Him. Honestly, to God be all the Glory. Last week, I was reading the book of Daniel and in chapter 1, I saw how Daniel and his 3 friends chose to prioritize their devotion to God above what the Babylonian king wanted them to do. In the chapter, we see how ABBA made them 10x better than their contemporaries. So today, I want to share Daniel 1: 17-20 "17 As for these four youths, God gave them learning and s kill in all literat...
