STARTING SMALL

God has an appointed time to visit an individual. May your appointed time bring you utmost joy. In 1Kings 18: 41-45, at the seventh time of intensive prayer, the servant of the man of God saw a small sign in the sky, yet when the rain would fall, it was massive. This simply tells us that whenever God is to do something great, He starts small. Due to lack of understanding of this, many people have missed God’s plan for their lives. They say God told them He was going to use them mightily but they wonder why they are being given very negligible assignments now. They turn down the small assignment and miss the big ones that could have come out of the small. For those who are over selective concerning matters that God has spoken about, please heed this warning. There are small jobs whose assignment in your life is not to give you your desired haven of rest and comfort, but to link you up with the choice job or assignment! Be very careful how you will be assessed on how you handled the smaller jobs or tasks to determine whether you qualify for the big? If you fail in the little, you may be truncated from the big ones.
Zechariah 4: 10 says you should not despise the days you started small. Those in senior ecclesiastical positions today did not get there overnight. They started small and today they have been promoted to where they currently are. The mustard seed is the smallest among seeds yet its tree is a giant. Some people want to start a business but continue to wait until they have a large capital when others have started similar business with a very little amount. Let God begin something great through you. Be ready to start small. Do not be afraid to take that step. Some people who are fighting to get a job where designed not to be employees, but employers of labour. Jobs 8:7 assures you that as long as you are with the Lord, your latter end shall be very great.
