Strong Habits Start Small

Dear Saint, I have come to realize that many people fail in the Christian life because we want to go to bed in Egypt and wake up in Canaan; become converted in the morning and become a patriarch by noon.

But it is not so.

God created time and allows it to process us into maturity - through trials, temptations, from little steps to great strides, from feeding on spiritual milk to eating meat, from a new convert to a great witness of the Kingdom.

So, start small and grow. Start each day with the study of verses/chapters of scriptures, with at least 30minutes of prayers and intercessions; then grow to the level of finishing chapters and books of the Bible, to spending hours in the place of prayers.

          If thy children have sinned against him,           and he have cast them away for their                   transgression; Though thy beginning was           small, yet thy latter end should greatly                 increase. Job 8:4‭,‬7 KJV

When you miss any, quickly retrace your steps, repent and discipline yourself to avoid such pitfalls.

No matter what, don't get discouraged that you are not at the top yet, be consistent in your small steps. From the picture here which I got from You version, we're told that Consistency is key.

Being consistent with your small steps will take you to great heights in life.

God bless you.
Peters

EXCERPTS FROM: 24/7 WARFARE PRAYERS AND SUPERNATURAL BREAKTHROUGH MANUAL

INTRODUCTION Right from childhood, the number “SEVEN” has always been an intrigue, an interesting puzzle, a fascination, and a great phenomenon to me. I was actually born on the seventh day of the month; perhaps this was one of the reasons why something leaps inside of me whenever I see the number. But as I grew up in the Christian faith I began to see a regular reference to it the scriptures. I was kind of saying, whoa! Holy bliss! Seven occurs 257 times, or 7 × 41 Seventh, the fractional part occurs 98 times or 7× 14 Seven –fold occurs 7 times. Seventy occurs 56 times or 7× 8 “Seventy” in combination with other numbers occurs 35 times or 7× 5. God is pleased to stamp the number “Seven” with the seal of perfection and completeness. God never down played the importance of the number, because it was the number of God. It is a carrier of God’s mysteries. It pleased God that, the Seventh man from Adam – Enoch sh...
