DRAMA MINISTERS YEAR OF OVERFLOWING EXPANSIONS

“TAKING THE SERPENT BY THE TAIL”

Exodus 4:2-4,17 KJV

[2] And the Lord said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.

[3] And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.

[4] And the Lord said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand:

[17] And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs..

We began building the massive World Drama Emporium of the Mount Zion Faith Ministries in 2014, and we thought we would complete the structure in 2015 ahead of the 30th Year Anniversary of the ministry which was held in August 2015, but the desire never came to pass. We thought we would relocate from the rented office to our permanent secretariat in the Drama Emporium in 2016, but it did not come to pass. Then the construction of the building was suspended, while we kept on praying to God for financial help.

Then, 2017, the Lord spoke to us to start small. He provided for us to start building a smaller structure as our temporary Office, so that we could patiently commence the building of the bigger structures later as He makes provision available.

We commenced the building of the Temporary Office in  August  (2016) and was gloriously dedicated in (May 7th, 2017) among some  drama minister friends.

However, we had thought we would pack into our big magnificent office building, BUT THE LORD STILL MADE US START SMALL.

When the Lord was commissioning Moses into the ministry, He taught him a great lesson when He told him to drop his rod on the ground before him. When Moses dropped the rod on the ground, it became a serpent and he fled away from it. Then, the Lord commanded him TO TAKE THE SERPENT BY THE TAIL.

For a long time I had wondered why the Lord told Moses to take the serpent by the tail. But the Lord used a man of God to give me another meaning to it of recent. Then, I got a meaning of the command.

Moses was not told to take the serpent by the head, but by the tail, as he was being commissioned into His Divine Mandate.  IT IS ALWAYS THE WILL OF GOD THAT EVERY WORK OF GOD WOULD START  With WHATEVER YOU HAVE IN YOUR HAND BEFORE IT BECOMES BIG.

Every ministry and divine mandate of God would start small before becoming big.  A major assignment of the kingdom would begin in a small way before becoming big and massive.

The Lord had already told Joseph he would be a ruler somewhere sometime in the future. He had showed him dreams twice of his brothers bowing before him and the world coming before him. But the Lord trained him in leadership in Portiphar’s house and then, as the leader and co-ordinator of prisoners in the dungeon, before he finally appeared before Pharaoh to command the economy of the whole of Egypt. .

David was first shepherd of the flock of his father, then a young Captain of some soldiers under Saul, and then, he became a commander of some 600 vagabonds and touts who were living inside caves and jungles as militants. He trained these miscreants into what the Bible called David’s Mighty Men.

Then, he was made king over the tribe of Judah in Hebron for 7 years and then, the whole house of Israel came to make him the King over the entire Kingdom of Israel and Judah. And he reigned for another 33 years.

A lot of people like to jump Processes. They just want to get to the destination without walking through the journey.

Allow the Lord to grow you up. Dont be hasty. Run your race with patience which the Lord has set before you. A lot of ministries that begin in a big way with sponsored projects and ready made financed programmes don’t always have strong foundational roots. The Lord always want us to grow up in a process. The way to the Canaan Land is through the horrible wilderness. You can not fly there, you must walk the journey and eat the manna.

So, take up the serpent by the tail by faith, and it will become A ROD IN YOUR HAND AGAIN. And with the Rod, you will be able to perform some signs and wonders in your divine assignments.

If you can not make a big epic movie now, start with short movies that the church can use during their services.

If you can not publish that book of yours now, start publishing the word of God and your divine ideas on your blogs and social media. Start publishing short plays and short stories. DO SOMETHING IN 2019, DONT BE redundant!.

START WITH WHATEVER YOU ARE ABLE TO DO NOW AND GROW BIG.

The Lord even said, the Apostles should begin their ministry in Jerusalem, then, Judea, before moving to Samaria then, on to the uttermost parts of the earth.

I RECEIVE THE STRENGTH AND GRACE TO START WITH WHAT I HAVE IN MY HAND.

From Shepherding the Flocks, to Ruling the People.

From the House of Portiphar, to the Palace of Pharaoh.

I AM STARTING WITH WHATEVER THE LORD HAS PLACED IN MY  HAND , BUT I SHALL GROW BIG.

It is my Year of Overflowing Expansions and I shall increase in wisdom and in activities in 2019.
