Saturday daily devotional by Pastor David Okoye (Ambassadors Word Diet, 6th JAN 2018) – Small Beginnings

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12

God is a God of order. Whenever He says a thing, He does so according to the scale of preference; that is, He says it from the most important to the least important.

It is so funny that the least of our challenges is the one Christians give a lot of attention to. What our major focus should be on as believers aren’t spiritual wickedness, but PRINCIPALITIES.

People who pay attention to spiritual wickedness operate on a lesser grade. This scripture establishes the fact that we are not wrestling against flesh and blood. As such, we are not to approach life with the concept of flesh and blood. In other words, in your life pursuit, hard work shouldn’t be your anchor; hard wisdom should be.

Life is ironical. Your success is not dependent solely on your hard work or your educational background.

You see, principalities superimpose itself on the other three things we battle against. Principalities mean principles in abilities. If you can rightly apply the principles of God’s Word, the devil would not be able to stop you. The principles of God superimpose itself on every power.

Little wonder, Jesus, is the head of all principalities and power.

A man who does not apply the principles of God would have issues in his life. The concept of the small beginning was the very first principle God applied to the earth. God started small with Adam; his seeds are the millions of people you see around the world.

There is a seed in every one of us. When that seed gets a helpmeet, it would surely procreate.

Do not despise your little beginnings.

If you start so big, your growth and progress would not be so evident. Whatever God has given you to do, do with all your heart.

Get on the vision God has given you; no matter how little it might seem at the moment. Understand this; that vision would only become a reality through your diligence, discipline, and excellence.

As you apply the principle of small beginning this year, you must apply wisdom; because only then would you be able to make progress.

DECLARATION
I do not despise my little beginnings. I righty apply the principles of small beginnings. The glory of the Lord is evident in my life.
