OPENED MY EYES: Encounter

ENCOUNTER

Good day dear reader. Welcome once again to the Opened My Eyes corner. I am glad we made it.

Last week, I shared a post that was rather unusual for me and I'm sure it was for all those who follow my writing as well . All I said was "FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!".

Honestly, that was all I could say and the reason is what we will talk about today: an ENCOUNTER.

We had a workers' retreat from Friday evening to Saturday afternoon last week(the 14th to 15th) and my friend, I saw, felt and tasted the move of God like I never knew I could. I came back a completely different person on FIRE!!!!!!!. Now if fire is not maintained, it goes out but that is a topic for the future.

Apart from the pleasure or joy of knowing you felt God's presence? Why is an ENCOUNTER so important? Well for one, talking about something based on your experience will always be easier and more impactful than based on the experience of others.

Many of us know the God of our fathers and mothers or pastors. We do not know this Jesus and that's a problem. It's the reason we are like the 7 sons of Scava saying without words "in the name of Jesus whom Paul(my mum, dad, pastor or whoever) preaches". We do not know Him PERSONALLY and NO, I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT GIVING YOUR LIFE TO CHRIST. There's a different level and if you know, you know. If you don't know if you know then something is missing.

The beautiful part is Jesus wants to show Himself to you even more than you want to see Him. Just ask Him for a personal encounter with all your heart and watch Him introduce Himself. Have a blessed week.

The Sojourner's Diary: ALMA GEMELA(SOUL MATE)

The Sojourner's Diary: ALMA GEMELA The Spanish word for soul mate stands for "alma gemela". You know, I've always wondered. It has always had me bothered. That question. Simple as it may sound, it is a question that has troubled my mind relentlessly. How many soul mates do we get in a lifetime?  Have you ever met someone and out of the blue, y'all connect and a bond is forged? You spend moments together and moments turn into hours, hours into days, days into weeks and weeks into months and months into years, years into more years, you get the picture. Everything is fine is the beginning and then the misunderstandings begin and then you start to see how different y'all really are and then your three hours of calls become three minutes of awkwardness with so many words in your minds but none of them said. You then start to wonder, "was this really my soulmate or did I get it all wrong?" Are we even meant to be together? Eventually, you start to let eac
