How Do You Define "Slow"?

Sometime back on one of my prayer walks.

I had a target mile to walk around on the prayer journey.

Because I wanted to wrap on time, I began to walk faster.

Guess what?

I got more physically exhausted than I was when I was walking slowly.

So, I decided to remain at the initial pace.

Here's what I learned:

🎉 Fast is good but may not be sustainable.

🎉 If you decide to go faster than your capacity can carry.

You will burnout out before getting to your destination.

🎉 Slow is relative as it is based on perception. 

Guess what happened when I decided to remain at my initial pace?

Of course it took a longer time for me to complete the rounds.

But I prayed for longer and so increased in strength through prayer.

Your journey may look slow to many, but you are building stamina.

Keep building.

These are all specialized, yet connected fields which greatly helped me tap into emerging areas without completely...

A Sacrifice Honorable Unto The Lord!

Genesis 4:4-5 "And Abel also brought an offering, of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And the LORD had regard for Abel and for his offering, but did not have regard for Cain and for his offering. And Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast." Many believers wonder why God had regard for Abel's offering while Cain's was rejected, and many even misinterpret this scripture to imply that God is partial. Now, let's take a look at a few things: 1. THE NATURE OF THEIR OFFERINGS! We understand from scriptures that Abel presented a sacrifice from his flock; he selected the best of his sheep, and this reflected not just his gratitude but also his devotion to and honor for God. From this act, we can tell that Abel had a good understanding of the importance of giving his best and recognizing God's sovereignty. Cain, on the other hand, offered fruits from the ground, which, while valuable, did not carry the same weight of intentionality in sacrifice and p...
