TOPIC: THE U.S NAVY: STARTING SMALL; ENDING BIG!
BASIC SCRIPTURE: JOHN 14: 27-31
Months ago, on October 13th, 2018 to be precise, the American Navy which is undoubtedly the best navy worldwide celebrated its 243rd birthday. But 243 years ago when they began, they had only two ships! Wow! The great country America could only afford two ships for its navy? Yes! Hear Robert. H. Schuller: “IT IS NOT WHERE YOU START, IT’S WHERE YOU FINISH THAT COUNTS.”

But today the story is no more the same because they can now boast of countless ships which are scattered all over the world and they even donate ships to other countries. Oh! They began small but today they are the greatest! That is how your life should be. God’s plan is that your life and ministry should move forward and not backwards. Job 8:7 says: “Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.”
That means you are permitted to start small but end great! John Mason opined: “Most people fail because they cannot join the beginning and the end.” Oh! Where you are in your business, career, job, marriage and finances should not be your final bus-stop and you must NEVER COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS! You must see the end before it becomes a reality. It doesn’t matter where you are NOW or what your beginning looked like, “YOUR END SHALL GREATLY INCREASE and BE GLORIOUS!”
Be patient! As 2019 ends, don’t condemn yourself because certain things you want from God have not come yet. GOD IS CERTAINLY WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES FOR YOUR GLORY AND GREATNESS! The world is about 7.8 billion people and still counting, but no two destinies are the same and no fingerprint is the same. So don’t blame yourself for where you are.
Don’t blame yourself for your marital, financial, business, career and ministry status. Don’t blame yourself and don’t bow your head to shame and failure! Get up and take your life and destiny by force because I hear the great sound of abundance of GRACE OVERFLOW! I prophesy: Where you are today shall not be your last bus-stop. You will grow from GRACE to GRACE and from GLORY to GLORY!
Ah! You have seen the last month of this year! I prophesy: “You will grow to the North, South, East and the West!” Your best days are still ahead! The 2020 ODM and “War Against Haman-15” booklets are out! Give them out as Christmas and New Year gift items. Get your copies from your nearest bookshop now! Give to FAMILY FRIENDS this month!
