The Power of Consistency | What Rebecca’s Camels Taught Me | Genesis 24 | 1500 Videos on YouTube
Tonight's Episode
We’ve reached 1,500 videos on YouTube!As I celebrate this milestone, I want to remind you of the power of consistency — the very principle that made this possible.
In Genesis 24, Rebecca’s life changed forever when she consistently fetched water for ten camels — each drinking nearly 20 gallons of water. It wasn’t luck or coincidence that positioned her to meet Isaac; it was her faithful habit of doing the ordinary with excellence.
Just like Rebecca, your consistent acts of faith, obedience, and diligence are preparing you for divine opportunities.

Speaker 1: Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John GIFTA.
Speaker 2: Thousand finnded videos on the main YouTube channel alone. Oh
Speaker 2: my goodness, I'm so excited, guys. I was just thinking
Speaker 2: about this right, Like, I've been working in a full
Speaker 2: time corporate job, and I've been running the ministry with
Speaker 2: the YouTube videos on the main YouTube channel, along with
Speaker 2: podcast episodes and everything together. I was just thinking that
Speaker 2: in the last thirteen years, ever since I started the ministry,
Speaker 2: I put out at least over fifteen thousand pieces of content. Okay,
Speaker 2: now listen, I'm just thinking like, oh my goodness, that's
Speaker 2: a lot of pieces of content. Out there that I
Speaker 2: put out maybe in the form of text, in this
Speaker 2: form of post or with with code, posters, with reels
Speaker 2: and shots and videos, TV programs and everything. And I'm like,
Speaker 2: oh my goodness, see what started with just a small
Speaker 2: step has gone further to reach thousands and literally reach
Speaker 2: millions of people on various platforms across the globe. And
Speaker 2: I'm so grateful to God for this. And I'm so
Speaker 2: grateful to each and every one of you who've been
Speaker 2: tuning in, checking out my content and being supportive and
Speaker 2: engaging with the content. And today I want to just
Speaker 2: share an important, important, practical word with each one of you,
Speaker 2: right the same way God has a call for me.
Speaker 2: I personally believe that every single one listening, everybody out there,
Speaker 2: you have a plan and a purpose by God God
Speaker 2: and create you. Just like that. You didn't say, you
Speaker 2: know what. I just want you to make it through
Speaker 2: life on your own. I just want you to just
Speaker 2: go through life figure something out. No, that's the whole
Speaker 2: crux of my best selling book, you know, Unrail your Purpose.
Speaker 2: I really recommend you to check it out. If you've
Speaker 2: not done so, it's really going to be a blessing
Speaker 2: to you, but I also want you to understand the
Speaker 2: aspect of how if you really want to see growth,
Speaker 2: if you want to keep growing, there's an important aspect
Speaker 2: of being consistent. Okay, Now, when we talk about the
Speaker 2: aspect of consistency, you think like, oh, my goodness, that's
Speaker 2: a motivational term or a secular term. But I want
Speaker 2: to just share an important word with you, guys from
Speaker 2: the world of God, and remind you of the importance
Speaker 2: of being consistent. I often tell people not from a
Speaker 2: place of pride, but from my heart. I tell people
Speaker 2: in the last couple of years, being consistent in what
Speaker 2: I do. It really helped me to see the kind
Speaker 2: of results that I'm seeing. When I'm posting on YouTube
Speaker 2: or podcast, I make sure that those pieces of content
Speaker 2: are out there no matter what every single day, Like
Speaker 2: if I say it's a daily one, if it's a
Speaker 2: weekly one, it has to go every single day, and
Speaker 2: it should be consistent whether I'm on a vacation, whether
Speaker 2: there were moments I was in the hospital, I made
Speaker 2: sure that those videos or those posts went on time.
Speaker 2: What I'm trying to tell you is that you know
Speaker 2: you need to make sure that you're consistent and committed
Speaker 2: to what God has called you to do. You cannot
Speaker 2: be just taking a casual and expect God to bless you.
Speaker 2: You have to be consistent. Now, I'm going to share
Speaker 2: a very important word with all of you today, and
Speaker 2: I believe that this will really challenge you from God
Speaker 2: to remain consistent no matter what. If I asked you
Speaker 2: to fetch a glass of water, what would you say, John,
Speaker 2: I'm sure I will do it for you. And you
Speaker 2: would go fetch a glass of water and come back.
Speaker 2: And a little later I say, Hey, can you get
Speaker 2: me another glass of water? I'm really thirsty. You would say, sure, John,
Speaker 2: I would do it and go and fetch another glass
Speaker 2: of water. If I asked you the third time, you
Speaker 2: would still be a little hesittant, but you would still
Speaker 2: go out and fetch the glass of water. But if
Speaker 2: I asked you the fourth time, the fifth time, you'd
Speaker 2: get really annoyed. You'll say, John, why don't you just
Speaker 2: go and grab the glass of water yourself. I don't
Speaker 2: have the strength, I don't have the tenacity, I don't
Speaker 2: have the patience to do this. Right now, think about this,
Speaker 2: right if I asked you to give a lot of water,
Speaker 2: like for one and our fast. If I asked you
Speaker 2: to keep going and fetching a glass of water, how
Speaker 2: would you react? You would be like, this is not
Speaker 2: for me. First of all, even if you have a
Speaker 2: willing heart, you'd say, I don't have the strength to
Speaker 2: do it. I don't have the ability to do this, right,
Speaker 2: I don't have the stamina to do this. Well, I
Speaker 2: want you to understand there's a very powerful lesson from
Speaker 2: Genesis twenty four. Okay, if you're a Christian singer, you'd
Speaker 2: love this. It's a moment where Rebecca is getting connected
Speaker 2: with Isaac and ends up marrying Isaac. Right, It's a
Speaker 2: very powerful incident where Abraham sends out his assistant to
Speaker 2: go and find a wife for his son Isaac. And
Speaker 2: he goes there and this assistant, Praise God, whoever is
Speaker 2: not only going to give me water but also feeds
Speaker 2: all my cameras is going to be the wife for Isaac. Okay,
Speaker 2: now I want you to understand. This seems like an
Speaker 2: ordinary thing, but it's not ordinary. Okay, there's Rebeccah who
Speaker 2: comes and she's willing to give water for all the camels.
Speaker 2: But I want you to understand a very powerful truth here, guys,
Speaker 2: very very import A camel drinks around twenty gallons of water, okay,
Speaker 2: and there were around ten camels, right In total, she
Speaker 2: had to spend at least an hour and a half
Speaker 2: of rigorous hard work to feed all the camels. So
Speaker 2: Rebecca being able to feed all the camels was not
Speaker 2: just because Rebecca had a good heart. She was kind hearted,
Speaker 2: she had a really good intention, she was a loving person,
Speaker 2: that was all there. But she also had the stamina
Speaker 2: to do the rigorous hard work for one and a
Speaker 2: half hours of feeding all the camels. I wanted to
Speaker 2: think about this, right, So what I wanted to understand
Speaker 2: is if she has never fetched water like that, she
Speaker 2: would not be in a position to fetch water for
Speaker 2: so many camels and feed all the camels. The fact
Speaker 2: that she was able to do it, the fact that
Speaker 2: she had the stamina to do it and dure the
Speaker 2: physical activity for one and how fast, was because she
Speaker 2: was doing it as a habit on a very regular basis.
Speaker 2: Are you getting what I'm saying? That consistent abit is
Speaker 2: what enabled her to perform at that opportunity, which in
Speaker 2: the end translated her to get acquainted with Isaac. Think
Speaker 2: about this. It's not just having a good heart. You
Speaker 2: may be having a good heart. It's not just having faith.
Speaker 2: She had faith, obviously, but it's also about you know,
Speaker 2: being consistent and committed and having good habits that will
Speaker 2: translate into the stamina you need to take up the
Speaker 2: opportunity that you are praying for. So today this is
Speaker 2: my challenge. Right Like, if I am in a position
Speaker 2: where I'm able to interview renowned guests on my podcasts
Speaker 2: like Emmy Award winning actresses, best selling authors and Christian
Speaker 2: influencers and all of these people, it's not because I
Speaker 2: just jumped into the pool on day one. Is because
Speaker 2: I've been working on this consistently for so many years
Speaker 2: thirteen years, thousand finunded videos on the main YouTube channel alone,
Speaker 2: fifteen thousand blessed pieces of content, and authoring multiple books.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, all of this has paved its way
Speaker 2: to help me get better and be better prepared for
Speaker 2: the opportunities that I've been praying for. And today that
Speaker 2: is the challenge that I want to leave with you,
Speaker 2: that you will be committed and consistent in whatever God
Speaker 2: has called you to do, and He will bless you
Speaker 2: and see better results as you keep growing in what
Speaker 2: God has called you to do.
