THE FOUR Ps
Zechariah 4:9-10 (10a) – Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin, (NLT)
Read: Job 8:7
The words, “Despise not the days of your little beginning,” quickly registered in my spirit, not only because the Bible said so but also because God derives pleasure in seeing that work begin. Today’s Bible reading reveals God’s affirmation that Zerubbabel would accomplish the building of the temple that he started. There must be a beginning to a process before it can develop and yield results. Therefore, God was saying that this beginning, no matter how little, should not be taken for granted.
Starting and accomplishing a thing can be broken into four stages. God wants us to plan, plant, produce, and profit (4 Ps). Every successful person, organisation, marriage, or ministry started from scratch to become what they are. Great things take time! Whatever divinely-backed project you have begun, don’t quit. It’s a matter of time for it to yield maximum impact.
Beloved, are you just married, embarking on a business (career), ministry, relationship, or courtship? If God has spoken and given you the go-ahead, never look back at how it began. Instead, be positive and focus on the glory to come! (Romans 8:18-19). In addition, it is important to note that the higher your dreams, the more effort it requires to achieve them (faith and hard work). Also, the type of foundation you lay is a function of the size of your vision. Keep planning, planting, producing, and profiting; you will finish well.
PRAYER
Hymn: Higher Ground — Johnson Oatman, Jr. (1898)
1. I refuse to be discouraged by the days of my small beginning because my future will be far more glorious than my present (prophesy).
(MIDNIGHT PRAYER)
1. Father, please hold my hands, speak to me, and lead me on the right path of destiny.
2. I disconnect from any anti-glory agent living within and around my life.
3. Holy Spirit, possess me with the mentality of a divine champion.
4. Pray for your friends, family, and the Church.
YOU ARE A STAR!
