« The end of something is better than its beginning. It is better to be patient than arrogant »
Read Zechariah 4:8-10NLT
8 Then another message came to me from the Lord:
9 “Zerubbabel is the one who laid the foundation of this Temple, and he will complete it. Then you will know that the Lord of Heaven’s Armies has sent me.
10 Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand.” (The seven lamps represent the eyes of the Lord that search all around the world.)
NKJV Though your beginning was small, Yet your latter end would increase abundantly.
Amplified Though your beginning was insignificant, Yet your end will greatly increase.
ESV And though your beginning was small, your latter days will be very great.
- In order of importance, your latter end is far more important than your beginning.
It does not really matter how you started out;
what matters is how you end up.
How you end up is not a function of wishful thinking but a product of the decisions and actions that you take today.
There are steps you must take and sacrifices you must make if you want to become great.
Believe me honestly, if you only wish and pray that things would turn around and don’t do what you ought to, nothing will change.
Solomon, in 2 Chronicles 1:6-15, gave an offering nobody had ever given and got a blessing nobody had ever gotten.
- It is very clear that If you are willing to pay the price, if you are willing to change your story for the better, your end will be far greater than your beginning.
Genesis 32:3-7 records that Esau got a remnant of the blessing, yet, by the time he was meeting Jacob again, he came with 400 bodyguards.
By the time you get to Genesis 33:4-9, after both brothers had embraced each other,
Esau turned to Jacob and said he didn’t need the latter’s gifts because he had enough.
Clearly, Esau had gained dominion and broken his brother’s yoke on his neck as his father had said in Genesis 27:40.
The Lay Reader is the lowest rank in the hierarchy of the Anglican Church, and this was my father’s role in the Church many years ago. Today, by the special grace of God, I, the son of a Lay Reader, now work side by side with the leader of the Anglican Communion – the Archbishop of Canterbury – to re-evangelise Britain. Such a promotion could only have been ordered by God.
Beloved, draw close to God and be diligent so that your end can be far greater than your beginning.
I prophesy into your life, Your latter days shall be greater than your beginning in Jesus’ name.
Application – What you are doing now will determine if you will end up greater than you started out.
