LITTLE IS MUCH WHEN GOD IS IN IT BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA


LITTLE IS MUCH WHEN GOD IS IN IT 

BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA

Reflection:

Let me tell you a short story! 
I remembered how I always wished to have some things. Each time I had any of them, I press for more. I be like, if this one can also come, then I am ready for the task. Let me shock you, each time any of those things surfaced, I began to see press more without utilizing the one at hand.  

Brother, why do you keep waiting to do a big thing for God? What have you been doing with what he has committed into your hands? 
That thing you call little is much when God is in it. 

Stop looking elsewhere for enormous tasks when you are a failure over the little in your care. 
You see an opportunity to talk to one person, but you see it as a little task. You are waiting for five thousand people you will talk to and share the gospel with. 
That act of yours should be questioned. 

Stop waiting for big assignments ma, it will not come if you consider what you are doing now to be little. 
How faithful you are to that little thing, determines if you will be chosen for a bigger one. 

Are you called to just intercede on behalf of others? please don't see it as a little thing. Be faithful! 
It is not how much, but how well. 
At the end, it won't matter how much had been committed into your trusts but how faithful you were. 

Don't seek to be known! 
Don't seek fame! 
Don't seek men's applause and approval! 
Don't envy another's person assignment, know your assignment too. 
You are shaped for a different assignment. 
Stay within your confinement! 
Be faithful to that field of yours. 

In the harvest field now ripened
There’s a work for all to do;
Hark! the voice of God is calling,
To the harvest calling you.

Song :
Refrain:
Little is much when God is in it!
Labor not for wealth or fame;
There’s a crown, and you can win it,
If you go in Jesus’ name.


In the mad rush of the broad way,
In the hurry and the strife,
Tell of Jesus’ love and mercy,
Give to them the Word of Life.


Does the place you’re called to labor
Seem so small and little known?
It is great if God is in it,
And He’ll not forget His own.


Are you laid aside from service,
Body worn from toil and care?
You can still be in the battle,
In the sacred place of prayer.


When the conflict here is ended
And our race on earth is run,
He will say, if we are faithful,
“Welcome home, My child—well done!”

NOT WITHOUT A FATHER

NOT WITHOUT A FATHER For those who are so close to me, they will know I rarely mention my Dad. He's alive and healthy.  I grew up not knowing my Dad. I grew up not knowing what fatherly love meant. My Dad is very much alive but we are far from each other. I was around 11 years or so before he came looking for me. First of all, I am grateful to God for giving me my mum. She went through a lot raising me.  So, while I was growing up, I envied those who talked about their dad so much. I wish I could be like them. I wish I could have someone who would be able to show me love. I didn't know fatherly love not until when I met my Spiritual father in Ibadan in 2010. He received me with open arms.  For several years, I lived with hurt and hatred in my heart. I cried bitterly most times when I reminisce about so many things.  A day came when I heard God said to me"For this reason were you separated from your mother's womb, you are not accidental...

THE KID'S LOVE STORY (CHAPTER 1)

PREPARING TO BE A HELP MEET BY DEBI PEARL  THE KID'S LOVE STORY (CHAPTER 1) Moral to the story: God wants, no, He needs us to pray.  CAUTION: Don't pray amiss.  The kid's love story is that of the author herself; Debi Pearl. She had just turned 13 when she first saw her man in a program  and immediately she knew he was the right one for her. Of course the man didn't notice her not until many years later. Why would God bypass a guy of at least 21 years old, and come to a kid of 13 years old telling her he was the one she was going to marry. Sounds weird right?  God does not do anything without a reason. He is the God who knows the end, right from the beginning.  When the young Debi got home, she told her mum, and her mum began to follow her up to always pray for the man of God. The young Debi took it upon herself, praying for the man of God. She wasn't praying to be his wife, neither was she praying for him to notice her. She...

LET THEM KNOW YOUR STAND BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI

LET THEM KNOW YOUR STAND BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI While I was publicizing my new book (Maximizing your single days and beyond) on the social media, I said I was single. Though I was seeing it from a different point of view due to the information I wanted to pass across about the book, some misquoted me. One of the people I respected so much said, it was better I add my engagement status to save myself from unnecessary distraction.   I saw messages popping in. Messages like, "hello babe", someone even said, "don't worry, even if you have nobody, I will take you in." I was like "I don enter am. " Thank God for wisdom in attending to the issue. Later added my engagement status to the article.  Majority of those who are shy in declaring their engagement status when asked is because they are still looking for a better option. They are not satisfied with what they have. They are in search of someone better.  If what brought ...
