The Power of Little

The Power of Little

Reading Time: 2 minutes

It is amazing how we can overlook the power of the little.

God has the capacity to create anything out of nothing. It is the attribute of the divine.

But for man, there has to be that little to work with. God will never leave you with nothing. It could be gifts, talents, substance, relationships, or even the seed of the word, but there will always be that thing you have to get you to where you ought to be.

That is the principle of the kingdom.

In our scripture for the year, it says,

Isa 60:22 (KJV) A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.

Can you see that? What will become a thousand is the “little.”

That little is always needed.

What is the little that you have but have neglected because you are looking for the “huge” capital to get started?

What is the little gift you have but have simply refused to appreciate?

Well, whatever is not appreciated will depreciate.

You must not only identify and acknowledge your little, but you must be thankful, praise-full, and grateful to God for it.

Do you remember the five loaves and the two fishes?

John 6:5-9 (KJV) When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? [6] And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do. [7] Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little. [8] One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto him, [9] There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?

Andrew despised and dismissed the little lunch of the little boy, but hey, that was exactly “the little” that Jesus needed to demonstrate God’s wonder on supernatural provision!

Be thankful and grateful for the little this morning, put it in the hands of Jesus like that lunch, and watch a glorious miracle of multiplication unravel in your life! May God open your eyes to see the little!

Good morning!

From Resolutions to Results: How to Stay Consistent All Year Long

From Resolutions to Results: How to Stay Consistent All Year Long

Reading Time: 2 minutes

It’s the beginning of a new year. As usual, energies are high, and spirits are pumped up. Resolutions are made occasionally, with everyone hoping to do better. I’m excited too, but I also know that, like every other year, it’s only a matter of weeks and everybody will return to square 1. Well, not everybody. A few will truly become better and end up having a better year. But the majority? Ehm, I didn’t say anything.

Yesterday, we mentioned that consistency is an important area to grow in. If you don’t grow in consistency you will be among the majority that will drop out before the end of the 1st quarter. I know you don’t really want that. So I will be sharing with you some ways you can remain consistent through the year. Let’s go!

The first is: beyond setting resolutions, set executions. What do I mean by this? Instead of setting resolutions—saying things like I’ll do better in my marriage this year, I’ll grow in my career this year, I’ll read more books this year, etc.—make them executions—specific things you will start doing like I will take my family out every 3rd Saturday of every month, I’ll take so so course by so so time, I’ll read one book every month, etc. What this does is to set your body for action.

Secondly, set structures to ensure you fulfill your executions. Don’t just end at listing them out, set structures that will ensure you do them. It may be as simple as setting a reminder for the beginning of every third week that will remind you of your family outing or as complex as actually looking for the courses you wish to take and registering for them, even if it’s making a commitment payment. How do you seek to ensure you read a book every month? Maybe you can set a particular time for your reading daily. Maybe you can tie it to a habit you already have. Just think, and set structures that will make you do what you have said you will do.

Finally, I would say be accountable. Accountability is one way to ensure you do what you want to do. Sometimes, for some people, desiring to do something doesn’t mean they will end up doing it. So, find someone who can hold you accountable for your executions. Someone who will keep asking you, “How far?” Accountability can even be as simple as voicing out what you want to do to people. Merely saying it to the hearing of others will help make you committed to it. Tell your family members you will be taking them out every third Saturday, and your children will hold you accountable. Hahahaha.

Cheers! To your growth.

Six Things Your Wife Wishes You’d Stop Doing Immediately

Six Things Your Wife Wishes You’d Stop Doing Immediately

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Let’s be real—relationships are hard work. But sometimes, guys, you might be doing things that leave your wife feeling less than seen. Not exactly what you’re going for, right? So let’s dive into a few things she’s wishing you’d stop ASAP (and yes, this could be the game-changer you need).

1. Ignoring Her Emotional Needs

Okay, guys, let’s get into it. One of the biggest complaints wives have? Feeling emotionally neglected. No, this doesn’t mean grand gestures 24/7, but more about tuning in to what matters to her. Like, when she’s stressed or feeling down, and you’re zoned out or not picking up on her vibes, that can feel isolating.

2. Taking Her for Granted

Pro tip: Start by being a better listener. I’m talking about active listening. When she’s talking, don’t just wait for your turn to speak. Pay attention, nod (yup, nodding helps!), and for the love of all things good, put down your phone. Try asking her open-ended questions like, “How are you feeling about that?” to get the convo flowing. Emotional support doesn’t always need a solution—it needs presence.

If your wife is juggling life like a pro—managing work, home, maybe even kids—and you’re just assuming that’s all part of the deal without a thank you, she’s going to feel invisible. And guess what? Feeling unseen is one of the quickest ways to erode love and respect in a relationship.

Take the time to notice what she does, whether it’s prepping dinner after a long day or making sure the bills are paid on time. A simple “thank you” goes a long way. Oh, and try surprising her—offer to take care of the laundry or plan a date night. Small actions like these build big points.

3. Leaving All the Chores to Her

Look, no one loves chores, but they’re a necessary evil. What’s worse, though? Dumping it all on your wife. Imagine carrying the weight of keeping the house running day in and day out—alone. Yeah, that’s how a lot of wives feel when their husbands don’t pitch in.

wife

Hack this: Make a chore schedule. Seriously, writing it down helps keep everyone accountable, and no one feels like they’re getting the short end of the stick. Whether it’s cooking, cleaning, or taking out the trash, sharing responsibilities builds teamwork (and saves her from feeling like she’s pulling double duty).

4. Being Unreliable and Breaking Promises

Trust is the bedrock of marriage, and being unreliable can chip away at it fast. We’re not talking about the big promises, like forgetting your anniversary (though don’t do that). It’s the little things, like saying you’ll help with something and then forgetting. These small letdowns add up.

Be realistic about what you can commit to. Don’t make promises just to make her happy in the moment—only to bail later. If something does come up and you can’t follow through, be upfront. Honesty builds trust. And when you do mess up? Apologize quick. A genuine “I’m sorry” and a plan to fix it goes a long way.

5. Constantly Bringing Up the Past

We’ve all made mistakes, but if you’re the type who drags up old arguments or past slip-ups every time you’re upset, it’s gotta stop. It’s exhausting and stalls growth. Plus, it keeps your relationship stuck in a negative loop—how can you move forward if you’re always looking backward?

Pro move: Focus on now. When an issue arises, address it in the moment, then let it go. No one wants to be reminded of that thing they did wrong five years ago, especially your wife. If necessary, have a heart-to-heart where you both lay things out on the table and then agree to put those past grievances to rest. Move forward together.

6. Trying to Change Her

Look, you fell in love with her for who she is, right? Trying to mold her into someone she’s not is a one-way ticket to resentment town. Whether it’s little habits you want to change or something bigger, like her career choices or interests, it’s a no-go.

Embrace her quirks, celebrate her strengths, and love her as she is. Wanting your partner to grow is one thing, but pushing them to become someone else entirely? That’s where things can go off the rails. Marriage thrives on mutual respect, not on trying to fit each other into a mold. Love her in all her realness—imperfections and all.

Time to Level Up

Now that you’ve got the inside scoop on what not to do to your wife, it’s time to take action. The good news? It’s all doable. Small shifts in how you show up emotionally, in daily tasks, and how you communicate can transform your relationship.

Ready to be the husband she brags about? Start putting these tips into practice, and watch how your connection strengthens. What’s one change you’ll make this week? Let’s chat in the comments!

Final Thought: Marriage isn’t about perfection; it’s about showing up for each other, every day, in the ways that matter most.

Seven Tests To Pass Before You Say I DO

Seven Tests To Pass Before You Say I DO

Reading Time: 2 minutes

I know that there are no perfect persons and we are all projects in the hands of God, however, there are basic traits to watch out for generally. While you may not be able to find a person that successfully combines all these, the qualities should guide you in your decision. If a person does not have character defects and does not live in habitual sin, some of these qualities can be improved upon by asking God for His grace.

1. The Test Of Integrity.

Test him for faithfulness and integrity in little and big things. Make sure she has integrity and her words and actions line up. Integrity is very important because that is what will eventually preserve you.

The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them. -Proverbs 11:3 (KJV)

God loves integrity. In Job 2:3, God boasted about Job and he mentioned his integrity. Integrity in that verse means ‘innocence.’

The potential guy or the lady must have integrity as well. It is a great legacy to pass to the children. Integrity is from the word ‘Integral” meaning one. You are supposed to be the same person within and without.

Don’t marry a gentle saint on Sundays but a vicious man on Mondays. Be careful of dual personalities who seem to give their lives to Jesus one moment and then take the life back the next moment. How will you know all these? These are the things you will find out when you are friends. 

That is why pre-marital sex should be avoided because it will get you confused and distracted. You see, the moment you are illegally bonded together in pre-marital sex, the obvious character defects that others can see will mean nothing to you.

They will ask you questions like, “What are you doing with that kind of person?” And you will be like; ‘leave me alone, I love him, he will change!’

You see, you have not even changed yourself! You are not the Holy Spirit who changes people! What the scripture says is that you should not be unequally yoked!

Don’t become partners with those who reject God. How can you make a partnership out of right and wrong? That’s not partnership; that’s war. Is light best friends with dark? Does Christ go strolling with the Devil? Do trust and mistrust hold hands? -2Corintians 6:14-15 (MSG)  

2.   The Test Of Diligence.  

You cannot afford to marry a lazy man or an indolent woman. It will slow your journey down. Diligence is measured with so many indices like tenacity, business acumen, career pursuit, doggedness, and so on. You may not have so much today, but with diligence in a potential spouse, you can be sure you will be great in life.

Do you see a man diligent and skillful in his business? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men. -Proverbs 22:29 (AMP)

You cannot afford to commit your life to the hands of a lazy person. That is subjecting your life to unnecessary afflictions that could have been avoided.

Questions You Need To Ask Him Before Saying Yes – Part 4

Questions You Need To Ask Him Before Saying Yes – Part 4

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Are you still following the series? These questions are necessary to ask before you conclude that you’ve met your soul mate.

7. Habits

What are his habits? Be specific and ask directly.

Do you drink?

Do you smoke?

Do you club?

If the answer to the above is in the affirmative, you obviously are not on the same page.

Don’t become partners with those who reject God. How can you make a partnership out of right and wrong? That’s not partnership; that’s war. Is light best friends with dark?

2Co 6:14 (MSG) 

There is nothing to pray about, there is no need to pray that God would change him for you because nothing can happen until he makes up his mind.

If he says no, he doesn’t do all of these and then you discover later, run for your dear life.

Did you miss out on yesterday’s devotional, we’ve got you covered. Kindly go HERE. For KHC video Devotionals, kindly go HERE

Run because he has the capacity to be untruthful. Insincerity and adultery are cousins! They hang out together.

If he says, yes, but he would change later after the wedding, he is unlikely to change! Marriage is not a change agent.

Also, be careful of those who want to change because of you, not because they feel it is wrong. They would go back there later!

Also, be careful of people who say you should change them. You cannot change anybody. You are not the Holy Spirit.

8. Sexual Compromise

What is his disposition to sex before marriage?

If he believes there is nothing wrong with it, he is more or less telling you that he would defile you before the wedding day. He is already telling you that he would put pressure.

Nothing is as frustrating as loving a man that doesn’t love God. Nothing is as agonizing as to have given your heart to a man who has not given his heart to God.

To be Continued…

CONFESSION FOR THE DAY
I will marry rightly.

PRAYER FOR THE DAY
Lord, help me to ask the right questions.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Isaiah 30:21 [KJV] And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

ACTION PLAN FOR THE DAY
Ask the right questions.
