Many of God’s precious children and well-meaning Christians wonder how they got stuck neck deep in places and habits that they never imagined. The answer is simple though: they despised the days of small beginnings.

For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the Lord, which run to and fro through the whole earth.  (Zechariah 4:10 KJV)

Despising the days of small beginnings can have serious effects and impact on anyone. Many are in deep poverty, addictions, bondage, and many others are also in riches because they despised small beginnings of things.

Small beginnings can determine either your rise or fall.

I wish you will make a decision today not to despise the days of small beginnings. Let us make a covenant not to despise the days of small beginnings.

If I experience a messy life situation, I can always tell that in past months gone by, I despised the days of small beginnings. But You shall escape every mess in Jesus’ name. Join us to make a commitment to pay attention to small beginnings.

Listen! Samson was a very anointed and disciplined judge of Israel, but he lost his vision and eventually lost his life all because he despised the days of small beginnings. I call him disciplined because even though he spent days with strange women, he never had premarital or extramarital sexual affairs with them. The only problem what we are discussing today; Samson despised the days of small beginnings.

When Delilah started the riddles he should have stopped them right there, but he didn’t. Small beginnings can make or unmake you, so beware of what you allow to start in your life.

I love you, stay blessed.
