As Christians, we are not allowed to live a life below greatness, even in our simplicity and normal lifestyle. All about us should hold people ransom to the kingdom of God. And that's why I have taken our time to look into the life of our "Lord Jesus Christ who lived a kind of lifestyle that the world considers to be exceptional, but which is normal to us who are of the kingdom of the Father of Light." In this series, we have been looking into those little little things that gathered together to make our Lord Jesus Christ great. Read Part 1 or Part 2 of the series. In this Part, we will yet look at another simple step that leads to Jesus Christ's greatness. Our Bible verse for this part is in the book of Philippians 2:5-11 that says, "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: [6] Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: [7] But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servan...

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 ...

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...
