In a culture captivated by numbers—followers, likes, and viral moments—it’s tempting to equate visibility with value.
Yet, the essence of who we are isn’t reflected in public accolades but in the quiet chambers of our hearts.
The most profound battles aren’t waged on platforms but in the solitude of our souls.
One of the most transformative lessons God has imparted to me is this:
don’t chase after crowds and popularity.
Even if God grants you a platform, don’t let the spotlight distort your vision.
Public favor is not synonymous with private calling.
Influence is a tool, not an identity.
Use it not to build your brand but to find the remnant.
You might ask, What is a remnant?
In Scripture, the term “remnant” refers to those who remain faithful when others falter.
It’s a small group, often hidden, preserved through trials.
They don’t conform, compromise, or seek validation from the masses.
They’re not perfect, but they’re pure-hearted.
These are the individuals God uses to initiate transformative change.
“Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace.”
Romans 11:5 (NKJV)
Throughout history, God has consistently worked through a faithful few.
- Noah found grace when the world was corrupt.
- Elijah felt isolated, yet God revealed 7,000 who hadn’t bowed to Baal.
- Jesus ministered to multitudes but invested deeply in twelve—and among them, He had a John.
It’s never been about the majority. It’s always been about the remnant.
I cherish my church because within it, I’ve discovered a remnant of individuals I’d lay down my life for.
They’re not just attendees or volunteers; they carry the same fire.
They weep with you.
War with you in prayer.
Love without seeking recognition.
When you love people, it’s not to possess them—
it’s either to lead them to Christ or to discover the remnant God has destined for you.
Let me share two stories.
Story 1: The Woman Who Felt Seen
A woman attended one of our gatherings.
Despite years in church, she’d never truly felt loved by its people.
Quiet and guarded, she gradually opened up—
revealing her battles with depression and isolation.
One Sunday, someone embraced her and whispered,
“You’re seen. You matter.”
In that moment, she felt God’s love tangibly for the first time in years.
That’s the power of the remnant.
Story 2: The Young Man with Raw Passion
I met a young man overlooked in ministry because he lacked polish.
Yet, he possessed raw passion and authentic hunger.
We spent time together.
I witnessed his growth, his stumbles, and his resilience.
Today, he’s leading others—
not because he’s flawless,
but because he’s faithful.
That’s what the remnant embodies.
“So the last will be first, and the first last.
For many are called, but few chosen.”
Matthew 20:16 (NKJV)
God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent.
Yet, He operates with intentional exclusivity.
He established a covenant with one nation—Israel.
He sent one Messiah—Jesus.
And He provided one path—grace through His Son.
“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through Me.’”
John 14:6 (NKJV)
This isn’t mere exclusivity;
it’s divine intentionality.
In an age of endless access,
God still prioritizes intimacy.
You don’t accidentally enter God’s presence.
You’re drawn. You’re invited.
And when you respond,
you step into something few comprehend: divine relationship.
“You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit.”
John 15:16a (NKJV)
I’ve learned that the most meaningful relationships—spiritual or natural—require time.
Authentic connections can’t be rushed.
They demand trust, loyalty, honesty, and sometimes, pain.
Because how someone handles your pain
reveals whether they’re part of your crowd or part of your remnant.
Many attempt to build with individuals who are jealous, competitive, or manipulative.
They disguise it as “kingdom collaboration,”
but beneath the surface, it’s chaos.
You can’t construct the ark with people who’d rather sink the ship
just to captain their own vessel.
Secure the right relationships.
They’re rare.
They’re sacred.
And they’re worth every effort to protect.
“Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor.
For if they fall, one will lift up his companion.”
Ecclesiastes 4:9–10a (NKJV)
So here’s my prayer:
- May God expose your crowd and reveal your remnant.
- May He grant you discernment to see loyalty beyond titles.
- May He surround you with individuals who love, give, weep, and serve
not out of obligation but because they share the same fire you do.
And may you always remember—
it’s never been about size, numbers, or image.
It’s always been about the remnant.
