Ecclesiastes 7:8 ‘Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.’

DAILY READING; • Matthew 26:47-75; Deuteronomy 3-4; Job 5

Denzel Hayes Washington is an American actor and filmmaker. Denzel was born in December 28, 1954 to a father who was a preacher and mother who was a hairstylist.
In 1975, Denzel Washington was struggling in college, his grade point average was 1.7, so low that he worried he would flunk out. And he started to question whether he had really made the right choices about his education. A part of him wondered if he should just start over and join the army.
Denzel felt like a failure.
One day in March 1975, he took his frustrations to his mother’s beauty shop. As he sat there, occasionally he would glance up at the mirror to see what was happening behind him. But one time he looked in the mirror, he realized an older woman under the hairdryer was looking back at him.
Every time he looked up, she was looking back. And it started to feel weird. He didn’t recognize the woman.
Suddenly, she called out, “Somebody, get me a pen! Get me a pencil! I have a prophecy.”
Somebody handed her a blue envelope, and the woman scribbled on it. Then she spoke to Denzel. “Boy,” she began, “you are gonna travel the world and speak to millions of people.”
Denzel was taken aback. Didn’t the woman know he was flunking out of school? Didn’t she know he was just wandering through life?
But something in his spirit stirred. He felt it.
The woman gave him the envelope with the word: “Prophecy” written on it. And his mother came along and added the word “preacher”, which was what she wanted him to be. Denzel wrote his own name on the envelope.
He later learnt that the woman named Ruth Green was known to have the gift of prophecy. She lived in Mt. Vernon where Denzel grew up and his mother was her hairstylist.
Denzel took the blue envelope home. About four months later, Denzel decided to try something new—acting. There he found his calling. And gradually he saw the fulfillment of the prophecy he was given as indeed over the years, he has travelled the world speaking to millions of people, sharing his beliefs in multiple events in person and online.
Looking back, Denzel Washington always realized that the moment in the beauty shop had a profound effect on him. Even though he had felt lost in his life, God still had His hand on him and was guiding him into his destined place.

“Kairos” represents an unplanned, unexpected and unscheduled time of divine visitation. Suddenly God can bypass protocol through a prophetic process, to propel you forward in life.
Hardwork and diligence are important and will take us up to a certain height in life, however, it will take God’s favour to cause our cup to run over. When God breathes His favor on you, sudden divine orchestration takes place that accelerates you from the back to the front. This sometimes cannot be explained or articulated by the human mind.
As you remain faithful in serving God and seeking His kingdom first, God knows how to turn the tables in your favor. What should have taken you many years to accomplish, God will do in a sudden moment. In Deuteronomy 6:11, God said when we honor Him, He would give us houses that we did not build and we would reap from vineyards that we did not plant.
Perhaps the enemy has told you that today is the first day of December, the last month, and that it is too late for you to make further progress this year. Well God’s Word in Ecclesiastes 7:8 says ‘Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof’
Indeed you are in the better part of the year. Though it may be the last month, it is your best month. And in this last month you will see the kind of favor you have not seen since the beginning of the year. In this month of December God will deck you with new colors and greater beauty. He will shew you a token for good. God will give you divine speed, He will give you beauty for ashes and make a way for you where there seems to be no way. And though you went through fire and through water, God is about to bring you into a wealthy place. There is a shift taking place in your circumstances. Everything that has been a set-back and a hindrance is about to turn around for your good. Help will arise for you from the least expected quarters. In the place of frustration God is bringing forth joy and laughter.
As we step into this last month of the year today , Let’s us be careful to always maintain an attitude of gratitude, in praising and worshipping God in Spirit and in truth.
Truly, God has marvelously helped us this year.
As you worship His Majesty, The Lord shall increase you more and more. God will cause doors of breakthrough to open up to you, crooked places shall be made straight and the hidden riches of secret places shall be given to you. Surely, by the power in the Blood of Jesus you shall finish strong and finish well this year!

PRAYER: Lord, thank You for surrounding me with Your favour as a shield. You are the God of miracles, signs and wonders and I know that even now You are able to suddenly intervene in my situation and move me up by Your divine power in Jesus Name.
