The Life of We: learning the language of 'we'

Well well well...

It has been a while, hasn't it?

Permit me to share something I am learning with you today...


THE LANGUAGE OF 'WE'

I first believed that I was never alone when I was in senior high school. I think I was in my second year then (I will write a post on that journey soon).

No matter where I have been, by God's Grace, I have always known that there Is Someone Who has always been close by. Yes, I do not see Him but I know that He Is always with me. 
Some years back, His voice was wasn't so evident in my decisions (although He was speaking) but His Mighty Hand upheld me in all things and truly, HE KEPT ME. Praise God !!!

He IS the main the reason why I have stayed committed to my current football club even when they haven't done so well in the past. By the way, let me quickly declare that we are winning the UCL (Can I get an 'Amen') 😁

Before these past few days, I knew that He equips me to will and to do.
But recently, I am learning that He wants to do things with me. It is one thing to have the mindset of He equipping me to do, and it is another thing believing that We Are A Team conquering together.

So, I find myself in a place where I am learning what it means to have the "WE" attitude. More or less like I am Partnered for life with Him. 
So, what am I saying? "I HAVE BEEN GRABBED BY HOLY SPIRIT" and I know am learning what it means to do things in the "WE". Trust me, I keep making blunders because I don't know fully well what it means to be Partnered in such a manner. I am learning...and it is a beautiful thing. 

I do know that He Will teach me what it means to be Partnered with Him. Because now, although I received Wholeness from Him, I cannot really do anything if We don't do it together. 
I do know that I am looking forward to greater depths of tangibility and a greater level of learning and vulnerability. 
Well for one, I know I cannot eat without Him and fully concentrate on my work. 

Can I share a testimony with you?

Usually, If I take anything but coffee in the mornings at work, I will feel so sleepy, you would do nothing but laugh at me when you see me at my desk.
Yesterday on my way to work, Holy Spirit prompted me to buy porridge for breakfast (That was the second time I had bought porridge since I began my national service). So, when I got to the office, I prayed and I told Him to join me for breakfast and that what We were eating should equip Us to work efficiently. Beloved, not once after I had eaten the meal would I say I felt sleepy or tired or anything. Praise the Lord !!!
At lunch time, because I have a late-lunch due to my other engagements after work, I wanted to munch on something while I wait to eat (lunch/supper). I got fried yams and I wanted to eat them as a snack. The moment the yams came, I dived in and I ate them all...not inviting Him. I forgot. (I'm still learning 😰)My dear!!! I dozed off like nobody's business! I struggled, chale! It was then that He brought to my attention what I had done by not involving and boy did I learn my lesson! Mehnn...I didn't make that mistake for my lunch/supper. The results were beyond imagination... I did not have any desire to sleep or even doze off! And when I got to my night engagement, I noticed that considering the past weeks, last night was the only time I had been very present during the session. Wooow! All Glory to Jesus. And, the testimony continues even till today. Praise the Lord!!!

So what am I saying?

I am learning what it means to do things with my Partner. I can see that indeed, He Is really holding me down...and it is a beautiful thing, chale. 

All Glory to Jesus !!!

I pray for you today, that you will believe that He Is and that He longs for relationship with you.

I love you.

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 ...
