SMALL THINGS

Have you ever listened to a sermon about serving God and rather than feel good, you felt like you are finished cos base on what you heard you’ll never meet up with Gods standards? Or maybe yours is like the guy that can never understand why righteousness cannot be fully enthroned in his life.

Well I’ve got news for you, you aren’t alone. There was a point in my life when I could hardly talk to God without first asking for forgiveness of sins. I lived in fear of Jesus coming and not taking me to heaven. So I confessed my sins every minuets of the day.

For me back then, the most delicate part of my christian walk was the idea of going to heaven. I did not intend to miss it for anything. Not as though I’m now willing to miss it now but the perspective I now see heaven from makes it a lot easier for me to live on earth and at the same time serve God then await his coming calmly.

I never knew that walking with God was not going to be mechanical; I just felt I needed to walk with God so I just started walking. If you are in a similar situation then you need to consider what I’ll be sharing with you.

You cannot walk with God through power of your mind. The bible makes us to understand that we are saved by grace through faith. If the grace of God is not what you are depending on to follow him then you must be joking.
.. .. . . Righteousness is not the same thing as good works, good works are only worthy of commendation before God if and only if you have a nature same as his. If you understand that your righteousness is by grace through faith, then you can as well believe that without the grace of God it is impossible to walk in righteous.

Some would say there are people that understand grace yet never seem to make progress spiritually. Well it’s for such I have decided to write this article. When I was having a problem with my faith, God told me on one occasion after I prayed for a solution to my unstable life that “SMALL THINGS COUNT” And that report changed my life, my approach towards life was transformed by those three words. Now it’s the same thing I want to tell you today. Many times we want to just wake up and do things that will prove our great faith but it isn’t so. If you must walk with God, then you must understand that small things count.

You can’t walk before crawling, that’s why it’s called growing. You take it gradually. Have you ever notice how a house is built, its gradual but be rest assured that it will be built. Take out time and pray for growth but be patient enough to see how you grow. This is also applicable to those in business; we always want everything at the click of the button. If you must grow outwardly, then you must first of all grow in the virtue of patience.

Remember the bible talks about precept upon precept, meaning it’s brick by brick a house is built. Learn to pray every morning then move to reading and keeping in mind just one verse of scripture. The bible says he that gives a cup of water in the name of the lord will not go unrewarded, anywhere two or three are gathered in Gods name, he said he’ll be there and let’s not forget the little boy with five loafs and two fishes. All this had little and because God was with them, it never remained the same. The small things you do for God will never amount to nothing. Keep doing it God will come through for you.

Less I forget, the bible says if you have faith that is as small as a mustard seed, you can say to a mountain be remove and it shall be so. Similarly, little obedience of things that does not look major either from God or you pastor amount to so much if only you could comply. Don’t forget rehabs little help that earned her life in time of destruction or the widow that Elijah was sent to, they accepted to do the so called small things and their life changed forever.


Learn to work in righteousness step by step, precept upon precept and you will be surprised what it will amount to in a shot while. remember that the wisdom of God never sound wise, don’t give up on your journey of faith, your job ,relationships, marriage and the whole lot of things you find yourself involved in.
