KINGDOM TITBITS

"But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen." — 2 Peter 3:18 (NKJV) What if we stopped viewing spiritual growth as another item on our religious to-do list? What if instead we saw it as a revolution of the soul? Not just some checkbox in our spiritual routine, but the actual unfolding of who we really are. Moving toward wholeness, toward light, toward the divine order of God's heart. Growth remains perpetually in motion—never static. It embodies movement, evolution. It represents the soul's way of remembering who it is and returning to the One who shaped it in the first place. Think about it this way: no runner stumbles into a race expecting victory without training. And no believer can expect fulfillment in their divine assignment without preparation. Salvation? That marks the starting point, not the finish line. Spiritual maturity, like mastering any art, requires fierce commitment. Intent...

Every encounter with Jesus begins with a response. The difference between receiving a miracle and missing a blessing often depends on what you do when you hear about Him. Throughout Scripture, we see ordinary people who encountered Jesus—and their responses opened the door to extraordinary transformation. Let me share a few examples with you. Blind Bartimaeus: The Cry That Stopped Heaven When Bartimaeus heard that Jesus was passing by, something within him came alive. Though he couldn't see with his natural eyes, his spirit was wide awake. He cried out, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" (Mark 10:47). The crowd tried to silence him. They told him to be quiet and to stop making a scene. But Bartimaeus refused to let public opinion drown out his desperation for change. He understood something most people miss: moments of divine visitation must be seized, not analysed. You cannot afford to wait when destiny walks past your door. His cry was not just noise; it was faith...

We live in a world that celebrates big things — big titles, big followings, big wins. But in God’s economy, small has always carried surprising power. Over and over, the Bible shows us that God delights in taking what seems insignificant and using it to shake nations, silence giants, and save souls. Let’s look at how the “small” becomes mighty in God’s hands. When the Majority Missed It In Numbers 13, twelve men were sent to spy out the Promised Land. Ten came back trembling, saying, “We can’t attack those people; they are stronger than we are.” (Numbers 13:31). Only two — Joshua and Caleb — saw through the lens of faith. The ten spies saw themselves as grasshoppers; Joshua and Caleb saw God’s promise. Fear magnifies our smallness. Faith magnifies God’s greatness. The ten discouraged a whole nation. The two believed, and generations later, their names still stand as examples of courage. God doesn’t need the majority — He needs the faithful few. Gideon: The Smallest Man From the Smalles...

We live in an age where life feels fragile. Stress, conflict, disease, and despair take a toll on us. Too often, we assume that a long, meaningful life is out of reach—an accident of fate, something only a few are fortunate enough to enjoy. However, the biblical vision is different. It affirms that longevity is not only possible, but also promised. Why? Because God desires it for us. Take Abraham , for example; he " breathed his last and died in a good old age, an old man and full of years" ( Genesis 25:8 ). Isaac also "breathed his last and died and was gathered to his people, old and full of days" ( Genesis 35:28 ). After enduring immense suffering, Job "died old and full of days" ( Job 42:17 ). These are not just tales of ancient men but archetypes that demonstrate God's intentions for us. Romans 8:32 underscores this: “He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him graciously give us all things?” —i...

The image still takes my breath away.  Jesus, the Son of God, kneeling on the floor with a towel around His waist, washing His disciples' feet. It is unexpected, radical, and completely contrary to everything our culture teaches about power and status. Yet here is Jesus deliberately choosing the posture of a servant when He could have demanded the position of a king. As the disciples were about to argue about who was the greatest among them, Jesus responded by taking the lowest position imaginable. The Radical Act of Foot Washing Foot washing in first-century Palestine wasn't just a nice gesture; it was the job of the lowest servant in the household. Roads were dusty, people wore sandals, and feet often got dirty. It was necessary but unpleasant work that no one wanted to do. That's exactly why Jesus chose to do it. Peter's reaction feels so human and relatable. "You shall never wash my feet!" he exclaimed, horrified at the idea of his Lord doing such menial ...

Here’s something that often goes unspoken: the Kingdom of God was never intended to be a distant promise. It was meant to be experienced right now, in the mess and beauty of ordinary Tuesday afternoons. We’ve become comfortable with a version of Christianity that sounds more like a heavenly insurance policy than a revolutionary way to live. But what if I told you that everything you've been waiting for—the peace, the purpose, the power to change things—has already been deposited into your account? The Grace That Teaches Take a closer look at Titus 2:11-14 . Paul speaks of grace that “teaches us to say ‘No’ to ungodliness and worldly passions and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in this present age .”  Notice that phrase: this present age.  Not the age to come , not when we get to heaven, not when everything gets sorted out—right here and right now, in a world that often feels unravelling. Grace does more than forgive; it educates. It transforms how we see ...

Three words that changed everything. Spoken from the cross in Jesus' final moments, " It is finished " wasn't a cry of defeat but a declaration of victory. The Greek word tetelestai means "it is completed" or "it is accomplished." It's the word used when a debt is paid in full, a task is finished, or a mission is accomplished. Jesus didn't just endure the cross; He completed it. He didn't just start the work of salvation ; He finished it. He didn't just make a good effort; He accomplished everything the Father had sent Him to do. This faithfulness to completion characterizes Jesus' entire life and ministry. He didn't just teach some good lessons; He revealed the complete truth about God . He didn't just heal a few people; He demonstrated God's complete power over sickness and death. He didn't just forgive some sins; He provided complete atonement for all sin. When Jesus said, "It is finished," He was ...
