PUBLISHING GOD’S WISDOM AND PROCLAIMING HIS KINGDOM



“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth and the earth was without form and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep gen. 1:1-2
Do not bother about now, God knows your beginning and can always make now a beginning in your life. Beginning is the common factor to all negative and positive situations. But God is expert in using either of the two to accomplish His will.


The common factor to failure and sickness, war and conquest, examination and promotion, temptation and triumph, defeat and victory is that, they have common beginning. Every history in life has an origin. Every race, tribe, nation and organisation and group has beginning. Every day week, month, year and season has beginning. Every anticipation and endeavour begins somewhere.
In between the beginning and the end are duration of creation, warfare, endurance, labour and struggles. Every trouble, sorrow, trauma, complications and any circumstance has beginning.
Origin, start-point, root and foundation are common words used to denote the beginning. Every plant and baby can be traced to an origin. There is the root of every matter on the surface of this earth; just like the standing corn on the field, which is fed by mineral salt and water; continually growing problems have roots, which is supplied by necessary nutrient from the reservoir of ignorance, mistakes, sin and carelessness. Every building has a foundation, the strength of which is determined by the strength of the foundation.
All conflicting opposites are beginnings on their own: abundance and scarcity weakness and strength, limitation and privileges, they are all beginnings. The end of stage is the beginning of another stage. The end of any realm is the start point of another. The end of a step begins the next step to the height you intend. Beginning is a common factor to all things on the surface of the earth it is an established truth.

Common feature of beginning
“ And the earth was without form and void; and darkness was upon the surface of the earth Gen. 1:2
There are three common features of the beginning of any endeavour or anticipation, or problems:
  • Formlessness
  • Emptiness
  • Darkness.

    Formless
    It is very difficult to figure out the configuration of beginning, you cannot figure the beginning as regular and normal. The beginning of a life or dream or vision is naturally meant to be the smallest point, the shortest chapter in your history, the smallest of the weight of your worth, the beginning should always be smallest in quantity, least in quality and coded with apparent nothing.

    Apparently empty.
    The beginning is apparently empty. The Beginning though filled with lots of potentials, yet with many limitations. The beginning is usually with apparent lack of necessities to reach your goals: there are apparent lack of knowledge, understanding, resources, information and connections to attain your height. The beginning is always devoid of basic knowledge, the ignorance of which are boundaries and walls that confine you into the domain of darkness, where you may not shine and let seen God’s glory.

    Darkest in the deep
    The dept of your potential, abilities and gift are filled with the darkness in the beginning. There is always felt and thick darkness that prevent the recognition of who you are, what you have and what you can be is completely in the obscurity of darkness. Darkness is associated with confusion, you cannot see, resources that are useful for success. Your beginning is the time darkest of your life; you may not know what you need for breakthrough.

    The time darkest
    And the earth was without form and voids and darkness was upon the face of the deep Gen 1:2
    This was the situation of the earth, similar to what many believers are facing today. Some lives are gagged at both ends by deep darkness. The darkest time in a man’s life is the time when necessities, in God’s provision are difficult to come by. They cannot just be reached. The time is aided by great sorrow. Attempt to peep into future produces no virtual or real image, everything just look blank.
    There is no reasonable work done in the time darkest. Its confusions is a great threat to discourage any meaningful attempt.
  • Good ideas are just in the worth of nothing. Men’s potentials have perpetual sleep in the time darkest. Gifts and talents are sleeping Jonah that may endanger the lives of the occupant of the ship you are in.
  • the thickness of darkness in the darkest time will prevent and cover the eyes of your helpers. Blessed companion and partners you can share your goals with. Until Moses can see the fire burning, he did not hear the calling.
  • Darkness will prolong your sleeping time, Prevent your early rise in life. In darkest time, a man is blind, to the means of survival Just like a Haggi in Gen. 21:7 she was ignorant of the well of survival that was close to her. Or Like Mary who called Christ a gardener.
  • It is very easy to wander in and be trapped in the darkest time. Liberty will be alien, fears and anxiety will be common as air.
  • The darkest time is the greatest height of a man’s ignorance. It is a time that accommodates wastage of resources. It is the best time for the evil worker to perpetrate their evil work. It is the time, when men and development are greatly impeded by the horror of darkness.
  • Darkness is an impediment to progress. All works are normally brought to an end, so like wise all activities in the darkest time. Vision may fade away, goals may loose off and trials may reap frustration.
  • Beauty is not noticeable in the darkest time. No one admires your beauty, neithe5r does it quality recognised. Men cannot see you and your good works. The true value of your gift, talent and beauty does attract the least degree of favour. It encourages excessive quietness.
  • you cannot express yourself in a cleared tone such as you may be, or obviously sincere, still your helpers at the darkest time may not have enough patience and trust to risk their help. At the darkest time, your words are worthless, so cannot be trusted, nor grave enough to convince you client or meant to patronise your efficiency. Your language, though in the literal forms, it is the same with men, that should give their resources, for your help, but at darkest time, it will be spiritually strange to them, you are not just communicating. Favour is an abomination in the darkest time.
  • The time darkest is the most risky time of the day. It is the time your enemies capitalise on your ignorance. It is the time; foreign luggage is imported into your house or domain. It is the best time you can be implicated, or continually ‘low progressive Zone”

    here is the joy, before the dawn that ushered in the daylight, it had first become darkest. nothing at this time is seen with any type of effort employed until the rolling of the dawn, do like wise men’s trouble, affliction and trial is in the darkest time
    John W. Peterson Wrote,
    “It’s always darkest before the dawn, don’t be discourage, just carry on”
    The time darkest are not strange in God’s creation, they always proceeds in the miracle. The appearance of the beginning in your darkest time creates light that will dispel every darkness.

    But God swing into action, after the Holy spirit had prepared the stage of Earth for His visitation.
    The Alpha in your beginning
    Your beginning or the present situation may be strange, formless, empty and darkness covers your potentials, abilities and fortune and so you cannot just understand, but you need the beginning in your beginnings. God is the alpha, the origin, start point of every thing and His visitation without doubt is the perfect drive, to propels you from the state of stagnancy. Though, the darkest time it the worst stay a man can ever be, and that is where God always begins.
    2 and the earth were without form and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep and the spirit of God move upon the face of the water. And God moved upon the face of the water, and God said, let there be light and there was light Gen. 1:2,3

    Quite amazing, when the alpha came on board of the earth that was formless, empty and deeply engulfed by darkness, He started from the root, let there be light. In the book of john, the power of light was brought into focus the light God commanded to surface was the perfect solution to darkness
    and the light shines in darkness and the darkness comprehended it not John 1:54
    All assurance, I welcome the beginning, that is the life, the life that is the light and the light is the perfect solution to darkness.
    The Lord will wonderfully visit the base, origin, root and beginning of all our problems, Do always expect and prepare for God’s visitation, He is the Alpha.
