POWER IN SMALL BEGINNING
TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
SATURDAY, 13TH MAY 2017
TOPIC: POWER IN SMALL BEGINNING
SCRIPTURE: "The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches." (Matthew 13:31-32)
"For who has despised the day of small things?" Zechariah 4:9.
MEMORY VERSE: Luke 18:27
DIGGING DEEP: When you don't put into work the things that the Lord has invested into your life, you become a disappointment to the Creator.
In the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30), Jesus exposed that the Lord was totally disappointed by the servant that was given little talent and did nothing with it.
Our text reveals that:
i. Greatness is always hidden in small things
ii. Big impact is possible if the right little seeds are sown.
iii. Small beginnings if not despised can inspire greatness.
Small things if well invested can be transformed into great things. In our world today, many people are in a rush to become great over night, they want their ministry, business and so on to be big. This quest have dragged many into cultism and into many ungodly things.
That is why many are crashing out of greatness. Starting small is paying the price that will sustain your rise.
Importance Of Small Beginnings:
1. Trains you: There is no greatness without training. Small beginnings helps you to rehearse greatness over and over again. David trained in the bush little by little before he could stand Goliath.
2. Builds Solid Foundation: Small beginning helps you to build the foundation for what God has given to you. It gives you time to dig and evaluate. Why many people fail in the pursuit of their God given dream is that they didn't take time out to dig the foundation needed for what they want.
The deeper you dig in your season of small beginning the higher the facility you can build on it and the longer it lasts.
3. Capacity Development: Many faint and get tired in the pursuit of their dream because they lack stamina and capacity to drive on.
4. Character Development: Getting to the top is good but staying there is what matters. Character is the secret of great people because attitude determines altitude. A person who lacks character can not sustain greatness.
5. Planing And Strategy: Proverbs 21:5 "The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance..." This is building technical ability. Strategy gives you energy to push and do things differently.
Greatness is the little seeds planted in the soil of purpose and character.
Do not despise the days of your little beginning. Before the beautiful butterfly emerges, it goes through several stages of transformation, anyone who probably had seen it in the caterpillar phase won't believe that a beautiful thing is brewing up. So it is with greatness, it does not always look like it in the beginning but wait for it, it will speak in the end. Beloved, don't give up on your-dream pursue it. Don't be discouraged to start where you are and as you are. If you wait to start big, you will waste. Don't waste God's investment in your life by been covetous and lazy. Stand up and begin.
Remember better is the end of a matter than the beginning thereof (Job 8:7).
I pray for you, you won't end small in the name of Jesus.
PRAYER: O Lord i destroy every seed of laziness and discouragement that is making me waste divine investment in my life in Jesus' name
