Bible Reading: Deuteronomy 2
It is commonly said that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a step, but many never take this first step. If our actions could match up with our intentions, then the world will be a better place. I hear of great ideas, lovely plans, fabulous dreams, superb intentions … but it’s a pity we cannot be blessed by your intentions until they are translated into actions.
Some people say “at 20, a man thinks he can save the world. But at 30, he begins to think of how to save part of his salary”. I totally agree with this statement if and only if it was referring to unbelievers. Every Christian has been configured by God to impact the world in a unique way. You should not zero yourself down only trying to make ends meet all the days of your life.
Those dreams that begins to crescendo when you are/were approaching 20 years can witness a ‘Rest in Peace’ if you do not make a move. Even Jesus Christ got to a point in life when he had to step out to actualize his vision. John 2:11 (GW) says “Cana inGalilee was the place where Jesus began to perform miracles…”
God told Moses in Deut. 2:31 (NIV), ““See, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his country over to you. Now begin to conquer and possess his land.””. Wow! I love this verse. God began a work in the realm of the spirit and later instructed Moses to begin its realization in the realm of the physical. Oh! I wonder how many good things we have missed just because we did not fulfill our own part of the deal by …Starting.
Your dream home, dream company, dream ministry … dream life may become a nightmare if you do not start doing something about it now. Many of us have studied; we have prayed; we have been led … but it is high time we began to act.
Starting Power is a series of message that will be coming your way in the next few weeks. It will propel you into success and assist you in realizing your God-given desires.
