PAY ATTENTION TO LITTLE THINGS(2)

 *TEXT* : Job 8:7 

 *Though  your beginning was small, yet your latter end would increase abundantly.* 

The word of the Lord came to Zerubbabel in Zechariah 4:10 asking him "For who has despised the days of small things...?" I believe the Lord is still asking the same question from you today. This is because it is easy to always despise small things and small beginnings.
Small things often does not attract any form of applaud, praise or attention.  They are often negligible. 

It is always good to start small and grow big, than start big and suddenly come into  decline . God's word has assured us that your beginning may be small but your latter end would  increase abundantly.(Amen).

You must be confident that  your small business will grow big, that small marriage will grow to provide home to many, the  small child in your hand will become great, that small relationship will become great. Your small church under a small tent today will soon  become a cathedral. 

Everything small will always grow Big when it is nurtured with consistency and Gods breath.

You must allow God release his power into your small beginnings, so that His glory can be seen.

In the days of your small beginnings, God expects you to exercise yourself in the following :

 *1. Be faithful in little things:* Do not say  I will be more faithful and committed when the assignment in my hands grow bigger. Rather,  you should be faithful when the assignment is small so that it can grow big.
 _Luke 16:10 "He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much"_ 

 *2. Don't despise the smallness of your beginning:* The construction of a skyscraper always  begin with the laying of a block. The journey of a thousand miles starts with a step. So also, the journey into your greatness starts with a small step of faith.

 *3. Avoid impatience:* Patience is a product of Love and Believe. The scripture says *"he that believe shall not make haste" Isaiah 28:16* We are often in a hurry to jump out of our small beginnings. It is helpful to know that your father may be a giant, but you can't get to his height in one day, you must do your own growing. 

Be patient, your own time is coming. You grow into your greatness not by worrying,  or through gimmicks but by exercising  Patience and trust in the Lord. The only race you run by Patience (and not speed) is the race  set before you by Christ.
 *"...... let us run with patience the race that is set before us* *Heb.12:1* 

 *4. Pray and Trust Him:* True and effective praying is actually a show of your trust in and dependence on God. *Prayer provides nurturing to your small beginning, just as what  water does to the little mustard  seed buried underground,* 


 *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...
