 *THE MAJOR SECRET OF GREAT MEN AND WOMEN IN THE BIBLE*


Great men and women in the Bible did not become great by accident. Their greatness was rooted in spiritual principles. Here are the major secrets that distinguished them:


1. Intimacy with God

Secret: They had a deep personal relationship with God.

Moses – Spoke with God face to face (Exodus 33:11).

David – A man after God’s own heart (Acts 13:22).

Daniel – Prayed three times daily (Daniel 6:10).

 Greatness begins with knowing God intimately, not just working for Him.

Abraham – Believed God against hope (Romans 4:18–21).

Esther – Risked her life by faith (Esther 4:16).

The woman with the issue of blood – Her faith made her whole (Mark 5:34).

 Faith activates divine possibilities.

Noah – Built the ark in obedience (Genesis 6:22).

Peter – Cast his net at Jesus’ word (Luke 5:5).

Mary – “Be it unto me according to thy word” (Luke 1:38).

Obedience positions you for divine elevation.


4. Humility

Secret: They remained humble before God.

Joseph – Gave God the glory (Genesis 41:16).

John the Baptist – “He must increase, I must decrease” (John 3:30).

 God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble (James 4:6).

Secret: They prayed consistently.

Elijah – Prayed and heaven responded (James 5:17–18).

Hannah – Prayed until her situation changed (1 Samuel 1:10–20).

 Prayer is the engine room of spiritual greatness.


6. Perseverance Through Trials

Secret: They endured hardship without quitting.

Job – Remained faithful in suffering (Job 1:21–22).

Paul – Pressed on despite persecution (2 Corinthians 11:23–28).

 Trials did not stop them; trials shaped them.


7. Submission to God’s Purpose

Secret: They lived for divine assignment, not personal ambition.

Nehemiah – Focused on rebuilding Jerusalem (Nehemiah 6:3).

Deborah – Rose to deliver Israel (Judges 4).

Timothy – Served faithfully under Paul (Philippians 2:19–22).

 Greatness is fulfilling God’s purpose for your life.


 IN SUMMARY
