'Finding sparkles '
More than a year ago, I walked into a church that changed my life. A sacred temple of God fiiled with the presence of the holyspirit My first fellowship with them was filled with tears , I couldn’t understand why I cried so much . I just felt the need to cry every bit of worry in my heart. It got to a point I had no idea what was going on with me. After the service I walked to one of the members of the prayer team and I had no words just tears. She prayed for me and I finally walked out beating myself up of about how silly I acted After the tears was a great sense of peace, serenity and so much joy. I had this undying hope that my worries were gone away and even though I face the challenges back in school, I had a different perspective of the problems. In my mind, ‘MY GOD GOT THIS!’ and that is how I survived a year of study. From asking God into my life and building my faith , I enjoyed my experience in the church so much that I yearned for my loved one to experience it. I prayed that God will reveal himself to them as he did with me. I invited friends to the church and you bet they stayed up until the end of their study too But I desired more to take this feeling back home(Ghana) I explained it to the depth but that experience could only be felt than told After my vacation to Ghana and back to the church , I found myself crying to God. “USE ME LORD” “WHY DON’T YOU WANT TO USE ME” “USE ME TO SHOW OTHERS HOW GOOD YOU ARE. THEY NEED TO EXPERIENCE YOUR SWEET PRESENCE”. It got to a point a was frustrated and couldn't understand why God isn’t using me yet. The opportunity finally came to serve him and out of options I chose to join the ‘early team’ this team is suppose to come earlier to clean the church before the service. It was a challenge because, firstly I hate to clean and secondly I’m not an ‘early rise’ person. But I went for it to challenge myself. I really wanted to do something extra for God. AND IT HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MOST FULFILLING THING IVE DONE IN MY LIFE AND THE LORD BLESSED ME UNMEASUREABLY!! AND GLORIFIED HIMSELF WITH HIS UNCOMMON FAVOUR HE CLOTHED ME WITH And I asked that he makes my life a living testimony of his goodness that my life may speak of him and that he may be glorified. I went to church demanding for nothing but a refreshed breath of his spirit in my life. He gave me this uncontrollable joy that reigned over all my problems and trust me , the problems were huge ,I could have never sailed through if I didn’t encounter the Lord. In addition to the Joy he gave me , he solved my problems effortlessly. I did things that couldn’t have happened in my wildest dreams, majorly academically. THIS GOD IS GOOD . HE ALONE IS GOD. HE IS GOD About 9pm this night , He prompted me of my desire to serve him. Ive realized how much time has gone by and how much this desire fades away. i fumble to blame my current church because my heart is enough for him to dwell in . Therefore as much as the church is a major influence, the decision maker is I , whose desire I must accomplish. The lord never left me and I know it. I cant figure out how to start but I believe its his will too and therefore it shall come to pass that I may know and desire him more and more than I did God loves us so much. As much as much as we find ourselves lost sometimes hes hoping that we draw ourselves back to him. It is he’s will and deepest concern that his children find rest in his arms and hold on to him forever . It’s an incredibly confusing struggle on how to get there But why don’t we all start all over again with a consistent prayer of gratitude and worship and consistently asking him to come live in our hearts. Let’s do it with force , passion and consistency and I believe by name of God and with faith that he desires to get as closer as well , we will definitely regain the Joy and spirit of the Lord❤
