WHAT YOU HAVE IS ENOUGH

“Who despises the day of small things? Men will rejoice when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. (These seven are the eyes of the Lord, which range throughout the earth)” Zechariah 4:10.

Has it ever occurred to you that an oak tree of today once started as an acorn? Do you even realize that the man who is six feet tall began as a tiny embryo in a mother’s womb? This is a divine principle. Before anything can be great, it must start small and go through a process within which it grows and expands.

The problem with majority of human beings is that they want to start big. Not only that, by comparing what God gave them to what God gave others, the tendency to look down on what they have increases. But they have forgotten that God gave gifts to everyone according to individual ability.

The truth is, everything God gave to you will first appear as a seed. And every seed has a multiplicative tendency if it is well nurtured, properly invested and productively harnessed. For instance, David’s consistent use of his slingshot multiplied and unraveled more of the potentials of the sling. Amazingly, this small sling brought down the giant.

What the widow of Zarephath considered too small to feed herself and her child eventually fed three people and was sold to pay her debt – 1 Kings 17:14-16. The five loaves of bread and two fishes that seemed insignificant but was made available and used, eventually fed five thousand men excluding the children, leaving behind twelve baskets full of leftover.

Now hear this; be willing to start small, start with whatever you have.Give thanks to God over that little money, gift and materials – whatever you appreciate never depreciates. Start using it as small as it is. Surprisingly, it will begin to multiply with consistent use.

Today, you will encounter God’s miracle. Breakthrough beyond your imagination will be your portion. You are lifted!

Prophetic Prayers

Heavenly Father, thank you for equipping me with what I need to achieve success in Jesus’ name.

Impart me with the willingness to start small.

Oh Lord, honour me and elevate me to a higher position in Jesus’ name.

Increase my faith in you, what looks little in my hands today shall become great tomorrow in Jesus’ name.

You Can’t Do It All Alone

“By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me” John 5:30.

Success is a collection of relationships. Without clients, a lawyer has no career. Without patients, a doctor has no one to treat. Without a composer, a singer has nothing to sing. An inscription was boldly and conspicuously pasted on the wall of one of the patients ward in one of the University Teaching Hospitals, it read; ‘On no account, and in no circumstance whatsoever must you shout or yell at any patient. They are the reason you have a job’. My thinking has been readjusted since the day I read that inscription.

You need problem solvers around you no doubt. Having acquired so much properties and wealth, you still need the service of a good lawyer to avoid being a victim of litigations. Patients need the service of a medical practitioner in order to put their health back in order. The service of a good financial adviser is required so you do not ignorantly squander your hard-earned resources. It goes on and on like that.

God, in His plan decided to route the journey of every child into the world through a family so he/she can enjoy warmth, love, care, affection and training that is needed before entering the society. Jesus constantly talked to His Heavenly father. He talked to His disciples. He talked to everybody. He exchanged ideas with the scribes and priest in the temple. He appointed twelve co-workers to run His earthly ministry – Mark 3:14.

Change your mentality about life. Your future is connected to people; so develop people skills, develop good human relation. Let people find it easy to work with you. Depend absolutely on God. Listen to the inner voice of the Holy Spirit today, obey every instruction. You need people. You need God.

Prophetic Prayers

Oh Lord, grant me wisdom and guidance in knowing who I can turn to.

Other people’s destinies are attached to me; help me to see how I can help them.

Oh Lord, work through me; grant me virtues that will attract people towards me.

Put an end to loneliness, struggle and stress in my life today.
