Audio Version
- Zechariah 4:10 – “For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel…”
In a world that often glorifies big achievements, it is easy to overlook seemingly small victories. However, our opening scripture reminds us not to despise the days of small beginnings.
Before David defeated Goliath and became king, he first overcame smaller battles. As a shepherd, he fought and killed a lion and a bear to protect his sheep (1 Samuel 17:34-36). These victories prepared him for greater challenges.
God often starts us with small victories to build our faith and skills for greater assignments. Small wins are evidence of progress, they remind us that God is working. Whether you are trying to overcome a bad habit, taking a step of faith in obedience to God’s word, we must learn to acknowledge and celebrate these little victories. Each step forward is proof that God is preparing you for something bigger. Keep trusting, keep growing, and celebrate every win along the way. Hallelujah!

PRAYER FOR A NATION
COTE D’IVOIRE
Côte d’Ivoire is largely split between its primarily Muslim north and Christian south, with approximately 41% claiming Islam and 33% Christianity. Even so, syncretism of Christianity with traditional African beliefs continues to be widespread and detrimental to the Church. Due to the cost of books and Biblical resources, theological materials are limited. A solid understanding of Scripture is greatly needed throughout the Church in Côte d’Ivoire and among its leaders and Pastors.
