KINGDOM TITBITS

"God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble." — James 4:6. When God’s grace fills our lives, it often leads to transformation in our families, ministries, careers, and personal journey. With grace comes protection and blessings that the enemy struggles to penetrate. However, since the devil cannot directly reach what God has safeguarded, he focuses on our hearts and minds. The enemy’s tactic is subtle: he seeks to convince us that the positive outcomes in our lives are solely our doing. This can manifest as internal thoughts or through the well-meaning praise of others. While it's natural to receive appreciation for our efforts, how we respond to that praise will determine whether we remain under God’s grace or lose it. Humility and Grace Pride is a dangerous trap because it shifts the focus from God to self. The Bible warns us, “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall” (Proverbs 16:18).  In contrast, humility roots us in God’s strength...

Every believer holds a seed of greatness within, as seen in Scripture. This greatness isn't about fame or power; it's a divine gift from God. John the Baptist and Greatness John the Baptist was declared great even before his birth (Luke 1:15). Jesus affirmed this in Matthew 11:11, stating that while no one greater than John has arisen, even the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. This means every believer has the potential for greatness that exceeds John's. God’s Promise to Abraham God promised greatness to Abraham in Genesis 12:2:  “I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.”   As believers in Christ (Galatians 3:29)  we are heirs to this promise. Our inheritance includes both earthly blessings and the power to fulfil God’s purposes. Defining Greatness Biblical greatness is not about achievements or recognition. It’s about aligning with God’s will and serving His kingdom. Greatness shows in humility, faithfulness, and willingness to be used b...

"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." — 1 Peter 5:8 . Many people live in fear of the enemy, believing he has free rein to wreak havoc in their lives. Yet, the truth is that the devil does not have free access to your peace, health, or family. He cannot simply impose disease, destruction, or despair upon you. If the devil truly could attack anyone at will, 1 Peter 5:8 would state that he devours whomever he chooses. The fact that he must seek indicates that some individuals are "undevourable". What Makes You "Undevourable"? The devil operates like a roaring lion, attempting to intimidate and instil fear. But he is not the true Lion. The true Lion is Jesus Christ, the Lion of Judah (Revelation 5:5), who has already defeated the devil. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus rendered powerless the one who held the power of death (Hebrews 2:14). When you understand that Jesus r...

“Knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free.” —Ephesians 6:8. This verse serves as a powerful reminder to extend goodness to others, regardless of how big or small the gesture may seem. Pay attention to the keywords: “whatever,” “anyone,” and “slave or free.” These terms emphasize the universal application of this principle. There are no conditions, limits, or restrictions. This promise applies to all people and all acts of goodness, irrespective of their social or spiritual status. God operates on a kingdom principle: what you do for others, He will do for you. When you serve someone else, you are not just fulfilling an obligation—you are sowing seeds into God's divine reward system. The good you do for others is credited to your heavenly account, independent of their ability to repay you. The Heart of Giving When we perform good deeds, it’s crucial to maintain the right mindset. Our acts of kindness are offerings ...

“However, when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.” — John 16:13. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth. He is sent to guide us into all truth and bear witness to it. He is not the spirit of facts and does not bear witness to facts. Unlike facts, which can be transient and subject to change, truth remains unshakable and eternal. The Difference Between Facts and Truth Facts represent the realities of the world. For example, a doctor’s report, a medical diagnosis, or a scan may indicate that you are sick—these are facts. However, the truth, as revealed in the Word of God, declares, “By His stripes, you were healed” (Isaiah 53:5). While facts may present a temporary picture, truth upholds God’s eternal promises. Faith means choosing to cling to the truth over the facts. When we believe in the truth of God’s Word and stand firm in that belief...
