Don’t Be Afraid To Start Small

by Joseph Prince | Articles, Christian Living

Lazy people want much but get little, but those who work hard will prosper.
Proverbs 13:4, NLT

When the economy’s bad and jobs are hard to come by, don’t sit at home waiting for that “perfect” job. Whatever turns up, as long as it’s a decent job, grab it and do it heartily!

My friend, don’t despise the day of small beginnings. Whatever has been placed in your hand to do right now, thank God for it and give it your best. Today’s scripture tells us that “those who work hard will prosper.” So if it’s your job to flip burgers, be the best burger flipper in town! Do it as unto the Lord and trust His favor to promote you.

As you work with a spirit of excellence and put your trust in Jesus’ unmerited favor, He will honor His Word in your life. He will bless the work of your hands, give you favor with those you work with and cause you to experience increase!

A founding member of New Creation Church, Joseph initially served as an elder and associate pastor. However, his unanimous appointment as senior pastor in 1990 marked a turning point in the history of the church, which started experiencing phenomenal growth. Under Joseph's leadership, the church congregation has grown by more than a hundredfold—from about 150 to more than 31,000 attendees.

Having built and established the leadership and congregation of New Creation Church on the sure foundation of Jesus Christ, Joseph is now actively fulfilling, around the world, the mandate that God has given him to preach God's unmerited favor without compromise. He heads Joseph Prince Ministries, Inc., an international, non-profit organization that seeks to build, encourage, and inspire people with the gospel of Jesus Christ through television broadcasting as well as a new media technology. Joseph's ministry as a pastor, teacher, conference speaker, and author continues to transform many lives, setting people free from the heavy yoke of the law, guilt, and condemnation by pointing them to Jesus and His finished work at Calvary.

Joseph believes the best in people and is committed to helping them discover how they can reign in life through the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness. His desire is to help this generation of believers understand the new covenant of grace and realize how greatly blessed, highly favored, and deeply loved they are by their heavenly Father.

In addition, both Joseph and Wendy are moved by the plight of less fortunate children, especially in Asia, and consider it a calling and an urgent priority to provide practical help through Joseph Prince Ministries, Inc.'s missions initiative and humanitarian projects.
