Greatness starts with little things!

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 2 minutes
This is the day the Lord has made that we might rejoice and celebrate before Him! God’s mercy has been renewed for every one of us this morning. God continues to pour out on us His mercies and His abundance! His love towards us is unending. There is nothing and no-one that can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. But God expects us to also love Him in return. The Bible says:
«And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment» (Mark, 12:30).
The one who loves always desires to do something for the object of his love; he always seeks ways to serve and to give the best of himself. It is possible to give without loving; it is possible to serve without loving; but it is impossible to love and not give yourself by serving. Because of His great love towards us God gave the biggest treasure – His only Son Jesus Christ. What are we ready to give to God, Who loves us so dearly? How strong is our love towards Him?God is calling us to minister to Him and to our loved ones. In order for us to do that He has given us certain talents. God is telling us to use them and spread His Kingdom in the process of doing that.
«So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Do business till I come’» (Luke, 19:13).
It is the Lord’s commandment – to use the talents that God has given us.Greatness starts with little things! Begin using the little things you have and be faithful and consistent in it; then you will be surprised to see what can grow out of it. The seed of greatness is in every person right now. But this seed will grow and bring harvest only if you will plant it and use it according to its original purpose.
«A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation. I, the Lord, will hasten it in its time» (Isaiah, 60:22).
Till tomorrow!Today be faithful and obedient to God in small things!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    You may ask why people act the way they act? Why don’t people sometimes understand very elementary things? Why do people hear the truth, but do not change? There are invisible things that keep people in bondage. There are strongholds that cannot be destroyed by teaching, sermons, instructions and lectures. They are spiritual things. What happens when the church prays? These strongholds collapse and some real changes take place. We cannot afford not to pray and try to admonish other people; usually people listen to us, say that they understand, but do the same thing all over again.

  • Do You Hear What God Speaks? III

    There is another voice that we hear – it is the voice of other people and the voice of human standpoint. For example, the voice of experts goes in this category – a doctor who proclaims what the medical equipment indicates. A doctor may tell the patient that he will die in three days, because the medical equipment, the analyses and his own medical experience show that. Praise the Lord for our doctors, but we must know that the last word always belongs to God. God often says the totally opposite to what experts say. In such cases, it is necessary that we, while being respectful towards different specialists, put aside the expert conclusions and trust God, not people. The more you trust the expert conclusions and not the Word of God, the less God can give you life.

    Through faith in Jesus Christ we become clothed in his righteousness and nature. In the our spirit we have the perfect character of the Almighty God even though we do not become perfect in our actions immediately after becoming followers of Jesus. We reflect God’s life, character and thoughts more and more in our lives to that extent to which we submit ourselves to the new nature in our spirit. Our daily submission to God’s nature and character in us is what I call practical righteousness that qualifies us for God’s favour.
