Forced to Release

I like what Job 8:7 tells us. It says "And though your beginning was small, yet your latter end would greatly increase." The bible goes on to say do not despise small beginnings.

It can be difficult in a world that is looking for instant success to allow ourselves to think because something or someone is not producing quick enough to stop. We have to be willing to go all the way to acquire all that God has.

I want to encourage you today to stay with it. Don't allow discouragement to set in. You could be one breath away from what God said is yours. Even Jesus at Gethsemane ask the cup to pass, but did not quit and drank it. Thank God He did not give up!

Remember one sign that you are almost there is the fact you want to give. You're destined to succeed. Don't underestimate God and His power in your life.

1. Be willing to go the extra mile. Nobody achieved anything without a fight. They had to go through to get through.
2. Rehearse what God has already said is yours.
3. Do not look and think it's too hard and too long. In Nehemiah, when the people began to rebuild the wall of the city, the people began to get discouraged. They did because they were all in one place, so Ezra told them to spread themselves out. They were able to build quicker and accomplished the goal.
4. Nothing with God is too hard.

Blessings,

Pastor Mark
