BEGINNING SUCCESSFULLY FOR COMPLETING POWERFULLY


Bible Reading: Zechariah 4:1-9

Text: "The hands of Zerubbabel Have laid the foundation of this temple; His hands shall also finish it. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you. (vs. 9 NKJV)


COMMENTARY

In life's journey, how you start is not as important as how you finish.

This does not mean that your beginning should be wrong, but even if it is, you can still end strong. Conversely, a good start does not guarantee a great finish if caution is thrown to the wind. Ultimately, the end of a man's journey is what truly matters.

Consider Zerubbabel—a man chosen by God for a divine assignment. He began his work with zeal, determination, and great passion. However, along the way, discouragement and opposition set in. He started losing hope, growing weary, and doubting his ability to complete the task God had given him.

Yet, God did not leave him stranded.

 In His mercy, God called Zerubbabel back on track, reassuring him:"The hands that started this work shall also finish it" (Zechariah 4:9).

This promise reminds us that:

Your fears and limitations cannot stop God's purpose for your life.

When God assigns you a task, He does not abandon you halfway. 

God is always present to strengthen and guide you—just as He did for Zerubbabel.

Whatever unfinished dreams, assignments, or goals you have struggled with, God is giving you the grace to finish strong.Tonight, present those matters before the Lord once again, for with His divine intervention, your success is guaranteed. Amen.

Prayer Points:

1. O! God, grant me your grace to start off well and finish strong in Jesus name.

2. Heavenly Father, order my steps wherever I have strayed and grant me the finisher's anointing in Jesus name. Amen

3. Lord Jesus, contend with my opposition and adversaries and make my feet firm in Jesus name. Amen

The Grace of God in a man's life is a force to take off well and finish strong.

THE GOD OF COVENANT

  Bible Reading : Exodus 2:23-25 Text : "He remembers his covenant forever, the word He commended, for a thousand generation" (Ps. 105:8). NIV COMMENTARY : The Israelites spent 430 years in Egypt. The earlier part of this period was spent in joy; when the Pharaohs that knew Joseph were on the throne. But the later part was in agony; when the Pharaoh that knew not Joseph reigned, their suffering was so unbearable that they cried unto God, and the Bible says; "God heard their groaning and remembered and remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Exo. 2:24, 25). God heard their groaning but what moved him was the covenant. Listen! Your name, tears, knowledge, experience or wealth may not move God but covenant does. You can maintain your covenant with God by walking blamelessly and constantly putting Him in remembrance of the covenant which is the scripture.. As you are about to sleep tonight, I prophesy to you that this year's covenant is moving God for your...

EQUIPPED FOR SPIRITUAL ARMOR

Bible Reading : Ephesians 6:10-13 Text : Eph. 6:12 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places". (NKJV) COMMENTARY Every Christian is in a combat field. The conflict is spiritual. When you succeed spiritually, the physical is a work over. The spiritual governs the physical. We are grateful that God provided for our combat weapons rather than abandoning us helplessly. Read More...

GIVE GENEROUSLY

Image
Bible Reading : 11 Corinthians 9:6-12 Text : 2 Corinthians 9:6 "But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully".(NKJV) COMMENTARY Simply put, sparingly implies giving very little compared to what you already have. Giving must be done sacrificially to produce results. That is a generous donation. Giving that doesn't affect you isn't a plentiful seed; a bountiful seed hurts the giver but moves God. When you give to God's work or someone who is unable to repay you, miracles happen.. Read More
