As we look into the very important steps that made our Lord Jesus Christ the greatest on earth and much more in heaven, here is yet another simple step into His greatness before or after this. Our Bible verse for this step is in the book of Hebrews 12:2 that says, "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." This verse is one of the most memorised verses of scripture among the believers, particularly that phrase "the author and finisher of our faith". If you asked 100 believers to quote this verse offhand, hardly could you see 20 that could do so without leaving out the rest of the verse. Yet the verse holds one of the major keys into the treasure of heaven. The verse alone contains three sentences that separately express the manifestation or outcome of three steps of action in relation to completion of one

To achieve all your heart desires of any kind as a Christian you must become like Jesus Christ. Becoming like Jesus Christ is not the same thing as achieving the exact things that Jesus Christ achieved on earth, in earth and in heaven. Our aims and objectives in this earth are not the same. Aims, objectives and purposes are comparative in nature depending on individual. What you want and whatever has been assigned for you to achieve in this single life might never be found among many achievements of Jesus Christ. So you may say you don't want to raise the dead, walk on the sea, still the storms, open the blind eye, cure diseases, etc. But you just want to build houses, buy vehicle of various designs, have godly family, and of course live a peaceful and lovely and befitting life with everyone around you. And of a truth, you can live just that and be welcomed into the glorious home of the Trinity in heaven with shout of joy. Note: anything that glorifies God is a miracle.

As Christians who wants to become as great as Jesus Christ on earth and in heavens, just as our Father in heaven desires, Romans 8:29, and which shows that it is very possible to become like Him, we cannot be so by categoring mainly on His backgrounds as reason for His greatness in any sense. If it is for His backgrounds that God says we should focus and listen to Him for us to be great, then we cannot be like Him in any way, because our mothers were not virgin before and after they gave birth to us. They were probably virgins before they knew our fathers, but never after they came across our fathers - the connection that preceded our conceptions. And for that, every other thing has no value in itself as for us to become like Jesus Christ in comparison to backgrounds.

It is in that we have our road map to h

The earth has produced a good number of great personalities in both sexes that are now God's road maps for us to follow, if we ever desire to be great in any calling or ministry, be it religion, business, politics, corporate career, education, etc. And of course, we are not matching the brake in our pursue of great men and women through whatever available means - social media, conferences, seminars, workshops, formal and informal gathering, one-on-one meeting and mentoring. However, the expected results are truly not manifesting. So the question is: Why are we not getting the expected results? The problem is that we are more interested in success stories of these personalities and we focus on them than the stories of their failings and risings, trials and fighting, sacrifices and pains, etc. And whenever we listen to such aspects of their stories, we quickly associate their victories to something like their backgrounds, experiences, mental capacities, etc. forgetting tha
