Job 8:7 – though your beginning was small, yet your latter end would increase abundantly.
For
every beginning, there is an ending. For every first, there is a last.
For every start, there is a finish. The only One who has no ending is
God because He has no beginning. Colossians 1:17 says He is before all
things. One common feature of every beginning is they are always small.
Huge lions are born as little harmless cubs , mighty giants are born as
little babies. Contrary to popular beliefs, your beginning has nothing
to do with your end. How a man starts a race does not determine how he
will end the race. Saul started as an ordinary farm boy but he ended up
on the throne. One’s position at the beginning does not necessarily
determine one’s position at the end. Joseph started as the second to the
last born but he ended up as the first in the family. Gideon started
from the smallest tribe in Israel, smallest family in his tribe, least
in his father’s house but he ended as the first in the whole nation.
One’s status or role at the beginning has got nothing to do with one's
future . Daniel started as a slave in a foreign land and ended up as
second in Command to the Most Powerful man in the world! By the special
grace of God i have seen a toilet cleaner become a manager in the same
company. So the beginning has got nothing to do with the ending. Rahab
started as a prostitute in Jericho but ended up as the great grandmother
of David in Israel.
Your end is not determined by the support network around you or
your experience or what you know or who you know. It is decided by two
factors – God and you.Zechariah 4:6 says it is not by power nor by
strength but by the spirit of the living God. Strength can fail – Isaiah
40:30, Riches can develop wings and fly away – Proverbs 23:5 but our
God remains. God has made up His mind to give you a great future.
Jeremiah 29:11 says for I know the thoughts i have towards you says the
Lord of Host, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future
and a hope. God’s part is settled, it is our part that we need to worry
about. To have a greater tomorrow it takes our willingness and
obedience. Isaiah 1:19 says if you are willing and obedient, you shall
eat the good of the land. It takes strong faith in God. Mark 9:23 says
all things are possible to him who believes. It takes humility and
submission to God and authorities. Proverbs 16:5 says a proud heart is
an abomination to God. It takes prayers and fasting. Matthew 17:21 says
howbeit this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting. There
are some breakthroughs that come only by fasting and prayer. It takes a
life of Holiness. Hebrew 12:14 says without holiness no man shall see
God. You want to see God in that challenge? Live holy. God is ready and
waiting to take you to the top. Are you ready?
PRAYER POINT: Father , I am ready please give the grace to pay the price to reach the top.
