SHARING LIFE

Oftentimes, we live our lives thinking it is just us and no one is watching... or maybe, even taking notes. We downplay our worth and importance thinking that there is nothing about us and we have nothing to offer anyone. Some years ago, Holy Spirit taught me a lesson on one of my trips with my dad, which I want to share with you today.  We were on our way to Anomabo ( in the Central region of Ghana ) and we got to this Kasoa-Buduburam stretch which, if you are familiar with that road, has cuh_razy traffic! And because we were behind time, we knew we had to use different routes to get ahead. So this is what happened:  Because we weren't familiar with these diversions, we knew the best thing to do was to tail the public buses that were plying the route. Free advice: if you don't know a route, follow a "trotro" 😄 On this particular day, I don't know why all the bus drivers were driving so fast. After a while, we lost the bus we were following and we had a private c...

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...

There is this thing about the cornerstone of a building that ensures that every other building block is aligned well.  The cornerstone is built in such a way that once it is in place, it serves as the map or reference for the laying of all the other stones which make up a building.  Today, I write to those who easily get overwhelmed because they are juggling so many things from career to family to love to business to their personal lives... I am so thankful to God that I currently find myself in a space where I have come to realize how impossible it is to get through my day without Jesus. Literally.  I know that in the Bible, Jesus Is referenced as the "Stone the builders rejected which has become the cornerstone". That is true and this has become my experience.  Today, I woke up tired, not feeling too well but having a lot on my plate to get done. I was late, behind time for a meeting and just not prepared for my day.  So when I woke up, my first instinct was t...

Today, I am working late. Honestly, this is not how I anticipated my day to go. At the same time, I am not surprised because I have realized that on the days I purpose in my heart to close early, those are the days "something comes up". Anyway, it is all good. Like I keep saying, we prayed for this and so we will not complain.  I was looking at my laptop's wallpaper and that got me in the right wavelength for today's Sharing Life moment.  My wallpaper is a picture of my nephew (Chairman E) and me. It is a picture that was taken when I went for a tv interview for last year's Women In Worship concert. That day, I wasn't happy at the fact that I had to send my nephew to the TV station. But he was my responsibility in that season and so I didn't have a choice.  I just remembered how in that season of not being employed, I would pray and wonder when this door of employment would open.  Now, here I am, so employed to the point where sometimes, I pull...

Hey fammmmm! Welcome to my birthday week! ( yes, I just had to add that somewhere.😅 ) Confession time:  In October of 2020, I resigned from my job. Not that of myself, I would have done so but it's just that I was put in a position where resigning was the best thing to do. Certainly wasn't expecting that but it was what it was, really.  When this happened, I was optimistic that I would find work in no time. Well, that didn't happen. So, I prayed... and I prayed and I prayed.  There were times when I was so sure of an open door coming my way. There were also those times when an unexpected call from someone would come, telling me of an potential job offer or something. Feeling hopeful, I would wait and suddenly not hear from them. Chale...  So believe me when I say that I know what it means to wait for that "phone call".  ...that feeling when an unregistered number shows up on your phone and you find yourself wondering which company the caller may be ...

The Bible teaches us that when we give our lives to Jesus, it is our spirits that are reborn. Our hearts of stone are changed for a heart of flesh and He gives us a new spirit. ( ref Ezekiel 36:26) .  But, you know, the fact that we have a new spirit and a new heart does not mean our bodies and minds are changed. This is why the Bible admonishes us to renew our minds with the Word of God and to put our bodies under ( see Romans 12:2 ; 1Corinthians 9:27 ).  That notwithstanding, we make mistakes.  We go off the wagon sometimes and in those moments, we feel like we have lost our place of sonship in the Beloved and our relationship with God is broken. That isn't the case . The blood of Jesus makes all the difference... I was lost in worship yesterday when the devil shot an arrow of guilt my way. The moment the thought came to mind, I automatically bowed my head down. Just when I was doing that, I heard: keep your head up. I kid you not! I knew in that moment that...

  I am thankful to God for the gift of His Spirit. I am thankful to God for His leading. I thank God for the privilege of being led by Him, which comes by virtue of being born again.  I am reading Kenneth Hagin's, "Love: the way to victory" and this book teaches us the practical steps of walking in love. I see that walking in love is not possible without the leading and help of the Holy Spirit.  This weekend, I had a not-so-pleasant conversation with my Semenhyia ( I'll tell you who he is in the "not so distant future(inside joke)" 😅 ). It was one of those conversations that leave you quiet for A WHILE. Had it not been that we were in a setting where I couldn't just pick my bag and leave, I would have gone home sharp! I actually wanted to, chale... but maturity wouldn't let me 😂 So, here I am, not saying a word and then it is time for lunch. The pettiness in me wanted to say, "I'm not hungry. Go ahead and eat" but the Chil...

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...
