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.

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
