Pastor Korede Komaiya at the Master’s Place International Church on “The Power of a good start part 3”.
We live in a Kingdom that is governed by principles. You know what God said, my ways are not your ways neither are my thoughts your thoughts. God is methodical, Satan is chaotic. You need to understand that it is paramount to embrace divine order. Every new beginning is a manifestation of a divine order. A beginning is an opportunity for you to right your wrongs, start afresh, rekindle hope and open a new chapter, rewrite your story and change your history. There is something about the power of a good start. Imagine if Adam had not messed up the good start God gave him, imagine where the planet earth will be. It is important for a believer to maximize the power of a good start.
You can’t beat the power of a good start. For every aeroplane to fly, there is always ground power generated. You only tow things on the ground, you don’t tow anything flying. If you must fly in the course of the year, you must generate adequate power from the beginning. The reason why a lot of people cannot fly is because they have not been able to generate adequate ground power. We spend time to fast and pray so that we can generate adequate ground power. No year has ever left me and the ministry the same. I have never retrogressed and I have never experienced a better last year no matter the battles. I want you to know, you think you have battles, my own is times ten of your own because Satan is interested in getting me than you. Getting me will make more news than you. You know what he said, “go neither for the old or young but for the King of Israel”. There are battles reserved for the head..strike the shepherd, the sheep will scatter but God is ever faithful.
A new beginning is an opportunity to get the foundation right, therefore every new beginning gives you an opportunity to correct foundational mistakes so that your destiny can pick up. There is something about the beginning, it is holy and sacred unto the Lord. I am yet to see anyone doing exponentially well in this Kingdom who doesn’t understand this mystery. Numbers 8:17. Every beginning is holy unto the Lord. The principle of this is called the principle of “one for all” and “the first for the rest”. Once the beginning is captured, the rest is captured. Why do we worship on the first day of the week? It is sacred and dedicated unto the Lord. God always claim the beginning. If the enemy should capture your beginning, he has captured the rest. Numbers 3:13, Romans 11:16
Today is the 3rd of January. Do you know some people
already missed it by fighting and arguing, all plans for the year already scattering, some are back to the errors of yesteryears. The beginning determines the rest. History does not repeat itself, it is people that repeat their errors. If you do not do something new, nothing is new in the year. It means you just continued 2020. The greatest honour you can give God is to honour Him with your beginning. Proverbs 3:9-10. It is too early to miss it. Adam being the first man, representing the beginning of humanity, missed it, putting the rest of humanity in trouble. If you get January right, and get it right in February and March, it can still be corrected and will still not affect your destiny for the year but if you get it wrong in January, it will affect the whole year. When Adam was with Eve, Eve ate the fruit and nothing happened. Grace was still working for them but immediately the first man ate the fruit, nakedness set in.
I have seen great beginnings. Do something great in the beginning, the rest of the year will follow.
Those who give God their beginning have given God the greatest honour anyone can give God. Ezekiel 44:30. This is one of the provokers of God’s blessings, giving God the first fruit of your finance or produce in sacrificial form. You give it in faith. Through this, blessings that are hanging will begin to rest in your hands. I have also seen unphantomable blessings happen by this principle. One of my sons in the United Kindgom who lost his job came to see me at my hotel while I was in London. He didn’t have anything with so many bills to pay. I gave him more than 30 messages for him to study. He devoured them. Then he decided to send the last money on him to the church, even though it was difficult for him. Before you know it, God told him to start a business. He did, he was filling me in on every stage and I was prophecying and speaking over it. Before you know it, the beginning of 2020, he sent another first fruit from the business. During the pandemic, even with the United Kingdom being one of the greatest victims, he started another business. Now, the business is something else, growing and multiplying. He has 40 staffs working under him. During July, he called me to say he is buying a property. God is real.
The greatest dishonor you can give to God is to let the enemy have your beginning. This is one of the principles that have revolutionised my life. I remain untouched by the enemy. No economy can touch me because I decided to give God the beginning of every thing in my life. Look at this South South, how come there is nobody carrying the grace of the legendary Benson Idahosa. The first time my dad, Bishop David Oyedepo ever went abroad, the money he was given for preaching, as he landed on the local airport going to Kaduna, the Holy Spirit told him “the money in your hand is the first fruit of your engagement abroad. This is just the beginning. You shall go to Benin and give it to Benson Idahosa.” Immediately, he was on the next flight to Benin. As he got to Church of Missions, ArchBishop Benson Idahosa came out of his office and saw Bishop. He said, “you are the young man, God just spoke to me and told you to come and see me, come into the office.” That’s how Papa Oyedepo and Benson Idahosa entered into the office. ArchBishop showed Papa bags of money and said I can give you anything. Papa Oyedepo knelt down and said, no Dad, I came to give you this money according to the instruction of the Holy Spirit. ArchBishop said kneel down. He put his hands on Bishop Oyedepo and said, From today, before the need arises, the supply will be waiting. Papa said from that day, supply always come.
Papa Oyedepo told me two weeks ago that I know something this generation does not know. He said, “you know this thing that you brought to me, you know I don’t need it. He said
if I know lack, that means God didn’t send him. He said, “What you sent to me, you know I don’t need it. What Benson Idahosa poured on me on that day, I pour it on you too.” Some years ago, I also had to travel down to America to give the ministry’s first fruit to Kenneth Copeland because he is in my lineage. Beginning from that year, things began to turn around for this ministry. You don’t need to struggle. I have been helped by God. A man that is not helped by God is better dead.
May your beginning not be captured by the enemy.
