“Christian Growth Does Not Happen in Drama, It Happens in Discipline” – Pastor Mensa Otabil


LOB News I http://www.livingourbible.com I Tuesday 8th January 2026


Pastor Mensa Otabil has challenged Christians to abandon the search for dramatic breakthroughs and instead embrace disciplined daily habits as the true engine of growth. Speaking on the Christian Conversations podcast, he explained that real progress in life mirrors biological growth—steady, consistent, and often unnoticed at first.

Life doesn’t grow in drama. It grows in discipline, in things you do constantly, even when you don’t see results,” he stated. According to him, prayer, Bible study, reading, and self-development are habits that quietly build reservoirs of wisdom, faith, and confidence over time.

He warned against relying on sudden bursts of motivation or waiting for a “big break,” describing such expectations as pathways to disappointment. “I am a big believer in habits, process, and discipline,” Pastor Otabil emphasized, noting that most of his personal success came from repeated effort rather than talent.

He likened consistency to an engine or heartbeat—unexciting, but life-sustaining. For believers entering a new year, he encouraged patience with the process and faithfulness to routines that honour God and improve life steadily.
