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.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
