    Comparing Yourself To Others Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Apr 10, 2025
     | 616 views

    Comparison is a thief of joy and destiny. It keeps people bound in cycles of self-doubt, pride, or jealousy. The enemy loves when we are distracted by others instead of discovering our divine purpose.

    COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 2 Corinthians 10:12 "For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not ...read more

    The widow in 2 Kings 4 teaches us that divine encounters require faith, obedience, and separation. When we shut the door—removing distractions and focusing on God—miracles begin to unfold.

    CLOSING THE DOOR FOR A DIVINE ENCOUNTER By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 2 Kings 4:1-7 "Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.
