Kingdom Carriers | An Unfolding Obedience

I went to Howick Village one afternoon simply to get a coffee. 

On my way back to the car, I noticed a small bookshop called "Poppies", and stepped inside out of my love for books. As I browsed, a young staff member asked if she could help. Almost casually, I asked how someone might get their books onto shelves like these.

She said she couldn’t help with that, but offered a contact number. I let it go and kept browsing.

As I was leaving, she asked what kind of books I write. I briefly shared about Your Moment to Lead, Hope Rising, and my latest booklet, Kingdom Carriers. We chatted for a moment, and I left.

Walking back to my car, I felt a gentle nudge to give her a copy of Your Moment to Lead. I hesitated, I never want anyone to feel obligated, but the thought kept returning. When I checked my car, I had no copies left.

So I went home.

As I was collecting books from my garage, I saw my neighbour Logan and his wife unpacking groceries. I greeted them and felt prompted to give Logan a copy of Kingdom Carriers. I briefly shared the season God has been leading me through and how we’ve been living our faith out quietly at work. He received it warmly.

Then I drove back to Howick.
I returned to Poppies with three books — Your Moment to Lead, Hope Rising, and Kingdom Carriers. The young woman was vacuuming near the entrance. I apologized for interrupting, handed her the books, and simply said they were a gift.

She received them gratefully. I left.

No spotlight. No pressure. No agenda — just a series of small “yeses” and trust that God would do His work.

All glory and honour belong to Him.

Grace and peace,
Jacob
