 THE BEGINNING OF BEGINNINGS
Memorise: I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. Revelation 1:8
Read: John 1:1-3

MESSAGE
The Almighty God is so great, mighty, powerful,
glorious and all-knowing that He is unlimited, unlike
mortal men. He has access to the past, present and
future of every event. Jesus in Revelation 1:8
decleared:
“I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the
ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was,
and which is to come, the Almighty.”
The word “Alpha” in this declaration refers to the
beginning of beginnings. When everything began, it
was in His presence. John 1:2 says the Word was in
the beginning with God. He was there when
everything was formed, and as a result, He can
trace the historical links of everything to where it all
started. He is still in control of the past, so He can
interfere with it in order to give you a better
tomorrow. He knows exactly how things will turn
out; hence it is best to always stick with His
decisions. Before He gives counsel on any matter,
He looks at the situation from the angles of the
past, present and future, within the context of His
purpose of your life. This is why those who factor
His decisions into their lives are wise (Proverbs
3:5-7). Even if something goes wrong with such a
decision down the line, because He is involved, and
all the power and resources available in the
universe belong to Him, He will tinker with things
and get them to work in your favour (Romans 8:28).
How often do you let Him into your decisions?
In the sphere of human existence, today is a
product of yesterday. If you are a professional
today, it is because you spent time being trained in
school yesterday. If you have graduated from the
university with a first-class honours degree, it is
because you invested quality time into studying. If
you are doing mental jobs as a cleaner or
messenger, it is most likely because of your lack of
access to an education or because you did not
invest enough time in schooling. If you are suffering
today, it is most likely as a result of what you did or
did not do in the past. This is why you should be
very careful with what you do today. Also, have
tomorrow in view before taking that decision today.
Thirdly, get connected with the only One who can
go into your past to help your present. Do you
know the Alpha and Omega? Are you connected
with the Beginning of beginnings?
Prayer point
Father, go into my past and correct any error
working against me today, and make my
tomorrow great
