DAYS
of little beginnings.
Quick Notes From The Bible Text:
Zerubbabel was a descendant of David
He led the first group of Jews out of Babylonian captivity
He purposed to rebuild the temple
But the Angel of the Lord assured him that it will be accomplish not by human strength
Verse 7: There will be great obstacles, challenges
Verse 10: Days of little beginning
Don’t despise the small things
There is nothing wrong will small idea, talent, finance, work, church
God doesn’t want you to get discourage by your situation today or what seem little or small
Though may be tough, rough and even difficult today, God is saying it is part of day of little beginning
We serve a God that knows how to multiply or make big what is small
Matt 14: 17-21 “We have here only five loaves and two fish.”
Isa. 60: 22 “A little one shall become a thousand…”
Remember God is with you in your littleness, only God has the final say.
Phil 1:6 “being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ”
What To Do In The Days Of Little Beginning:
Appreciate God for that little
Matt 14:19: Jesus gave thanks to God
Matt. 25:23:“ Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your Lord”
Don’t live your life with defected mentality
Num. 13:31-33: Ten spies with bad report
Ps 81:10: Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Take pressure off God
Ecc 3:11 “He has made everything beautiful in its time”
When you start looking around comparing yourself with others.
Let God be in control, don’t start pulling steering out of God’s hands.
Matt. 26:39. Jesus knew this principle.
Surrender your little for God to break it
God brings increasing and multiplication out of breaking.
