The Principle of Small Things

The principle of small things is one of the principles of the kingdom of God. Small things are tiny, non-noticeable, and negligible; there is every tendency not to focus on them. As human beings, we are inclined to desire the “big- big” things of life: that big opportunity, that big job,  that big connection, that big car, etc. However, God is not just interested in giving you big things. He is also interested in proving you in small things. In the...

Why You Should Not Stop Praying

One of the most powerful things to do on earth is to pray. In fact, it is not just one of the most potent activities but the most powerful thing to do as a believer!

The Bible talked about our walls being before God in Isaiah 49:16b. Zecharaiah 2:5 talks about God being a wall of fire around Jerusalem. Ecclesiastes 10:8 talks about breaking a hedge; some translations use the word wall instead of hedge. It is commonplace in Biblical times for cities to be fenced with high...

The Disciplines of a Believer

The Believer’s life is a journey to becoming more like Jesus. It’s a walk of faith where we daily align our thoughts, actions, motives, and words to reflect and conform to the image of Jesus. The disciplines of a believer are things you engage in, in order to be conformed to the image of Christ. Romans 8:29 (ESV) rightly puts it:  For those whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order...

The Power of Having the Right People in your Life

We’ve all heard about the importance of having the right company; by company, I mean people, friends, and loved ones around you. Not all companies are good, and not all are a blessing. You have to intentionally disconnect from people whose influence in your life subtracts from you instead of adding to your growth. You must discover and connect to people whose presence in your life adds to you and multiplies your efforts and development. A bad company will always...
