PAY ATTENTION TO LITTLE THINGS.



 *TEXT* :  Zechariah 4:10 

 *_For who hath despised the day of small things?_ for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.* 

God is always interested in little  things that people easily dispise on the basis that it is small or little. 

People erroneously believe that it is when things have become big that God starts paying attention. No! God always pay attention to little things. Infact, He takes delight in little things for one reason: "that He might be glorified when He might have turned little to Great."

For instance,  He takes pleasure in giving his little flock his great kingdom. 
Luke  12:32  Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

He is not willing to share his kingdom with the high and mighty of this world but only with those who will be converted into little children. 
Jesus said "Except you are converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven" Matthew  18:3.

In the wilderness, when Jesus  fed 4,000 men (beside women and children), He only used few bread and few little fishes. *Little is much with God.* If it were man, the size of the multitude would determine the enormous quantity of bread and fish that would be needed.

The wife of one of the sons of prophets following Elisha who thought she had nothing but only her small pot of oil, eventually ended up producing many vessels of oil. A person who once thought she had nothing, later became a great dealer in oil business. This is because she cried out to the one and only God who specialises in turning little to big overnight.  2King 4:1-7.

The huge and massive Goliath fell down because of one little stone from little David. King Saul who had once offered David his armour would have thought within himself, " this small and inexperienced little boy is about to committ suicide" God however was so excited to see a little boy with little sling, and little stone whose trust is in the Big and mighty God. 
Lo and Behold, Goliath fell before the God who takes pleasure in accomplishing huge task with small people and small things. 1King 17.

 *Though God is Big and mighty, yet He likes using small and little things to accomplish great feats so all can see Him as the One worthy to receive all the Glory.* 


 *BIBLE READING* : 2 King 4:1-7.

*PRAYER FOCUS*

1. Lord, help me and give me grace to always pay attention to little beginnings, little details, and little assignments.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
