| Start with your miracle seed
Bible Reading: John 2:1-11
Why do we plant seeds instead of fully grown trees? Why do we erect houses block upon block rather than just depositing a magnificent building into the ground? Why did Jesus start with twelve disciples even though he desired to impact the whole world?
Great endings are usually products of small beginnings. The bible says “And though your start was small, your end will be very great” Job 8:7 (BBE). My Christian brothers and sisters love to quote this verse, but most of them don’t start realizing their dreams because they have fallen into the trick of the devil that says … “if only you can have more, then it will be appropriate for you to start”. More money, more connections, more people, more anointing, more love, more more …
So they keep saying “if only I have more, I will start now”. But kingdom principle says … “if only you start now, you will have more”. I remember when we started our internet outreach, we had just ten subscribers. Today, the number of subscribers we have in a day is more than our total subscribers at inception.
It is grave diggers that start from the top and keep digging downwards. Great things usually start small and keep growing. Jesus’ lifestyle showed us that you are permitted to start small as long as you do not remain small.
Some people think you do not have faith if you start small. I wonder what they will say about God who brought forth the 6 billion people on earth through two people – Adam and Eve. What a beginning! Compare two to six billion and you can imagine the abundance that is waiting for you when you start.
To start small means to start with what you have and from where you are. Have you been offered a small job? Start with it. You live in a jungle? Start from there. You have just 3 followers? Start with them. You’ve got only 10 million bucks? Start with it. God always gives a miracle seed to everyone and it is not beyond what you have and where you are.
Don’t join the company of men who keep wishing they started climbing the success ladder from the top. Start with what you have and from where you are, and you are already on your way to the top.
