• Don't Be Afraid To Start Small

  There is a prevailing myth in our society that says bigger is necessarily better . I see this way of thinking reflected at fast food restaurants, it has long dominated the pricing in fashion magazines, and our young people are steadily being corrupted by falsity that size denotes success. I even see this attitude among preachers and business leaders. They constantly go at each other with questions like: "how many people come to your church? How many new "ministries" have you started  this year ?What is your customer base?Who tailors your suits? "

  I want to ask you today are you feeling inadequate because  your dream or your endeavor is not being supersized?

  Maybe you have just started a business or a ministry and it is just not growing as you had planned  and you are starting to get a little weary. Well, Be Encouraged.!!! Your season of breakthrough is coming. The delay is God preparing you for excellence.

  Wherever you find yourself, realize that you are in God's Perfect plan for your life. It is up to you to take what God has given you and make it work. If you have started a church and you have 5 members meeting around your dining room table, teach, preach and pray as though you have 500. The thing is not how many you have , it is how well you are leading them.

  If you are not living in your dream house right now, just keep saving and make the house you live in as clean , comfortable , and as pleasant as you can. Add hope to your hard work and trust God to lead you to the perfect place.

  God will always take you forward as long as you trust Him and live according to His Statutes.Two things to remember are to be faithful in a little , so that God can bless you with more, and not to frustrate yourself with envy. When you become envious of how God is dealing with someone else, you are telling God that you are not thankful for what He has already blessed you.

  Everyone has to start somewhere. Remember that our timing is not always God's timing . Trust him to know what is best for you and when is the best time for you to advance. While you are waiting , be the best that you can be where you are , so that when your season of advance comes you will be ready to excel. Be Encouraged!!!!
