“For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off” (Prov 23:18)
Every beginning ends something; hence an end is still coming to everything that begins. Stop living today as if there is nothing better afterward. “Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof…” (Eccl 7:8)
In Genesis 1:1-3, the situation after the first verse looks as if nothing good was happening, yet God was at work. Even though everything created seems to be in a chaotic state but it was not yet over until God’s part was completely fulfilled. “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.” (Gen 1:2). Never try to put an end to that which God is still working upon.
The enemy has a way of showing us the bad end even when God is still at work in our lives. The solution is to engage the power of the Holy Spirit and the spoken Word of God. This means we need to keep seeing the unseen end and keep speaking it out as our own prophesy. God’s word is prophetic in nature and that gives us a clear focus on where we should place our mind in the face of all emerging contrary situations. If we have our mind on the destiny, the journey will be of little concern.
Should you be on a successful matter when you got hit by a crisis, don’t dump it for another ambition at your recovery, bounce back and go to it again. The reason why the enemy attacked at first was because he wasn’t so comfortable with your success. If you give it up, then you have made him the winner. No winner quits easily that way!
Whatsoever has a beginning must surely have an end. Only God is everlasting, change will ever be permanent. Job understands that there is an end to every case hence he promises to wait until his change comes. (Job. 14:14). Job’s problem does not last forever (although it looks as if it’s forever to you and me). The truth is that the problem only lasted for nine months.
One lesson we learn from Job’s life is how he sees that every problem has a time limit no matter how insurmountable they seems to look at present. Secondly, at the appointed time, Job overcame. He knew where he started from and never sees that as the problem. He knew his problem remains the enemy that was bitter about his success, hence right there where he lost the last time; he stayed to fight and defeat the enemy finally.
Don’t give to the enemy what doesn’t belong to him; he has no say about your end because he never has any idea about its beginning. Only God has your life blueprint in His hand. (Act. 17:28)
In conclusion, Job believed he will come out of the problem better than he was in the beginning. Remember he said “I shall come forth as a gold” (Job. 23:10). Your problem is meant to be your promotion. Job came out of the situation twice as rich he was before.
You may wonder why Job never accepted suicide as the solution. Suicide only makes you a perpetual failure that will never experience the joy of success. It makes you a coward of destiny. Tough times never last, but tough people do. If you have lost confidence in the power of God for your deliverance, it may be because you gave up so soon.
God at work in your life, and sincerely, He is still working. Whatever contrary situation that is stirring at you presently should only await your glorious end because God is still at work. "But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work" (John 5:17). What a wonderful end the whole world should expect of us?
Note that there is nothing like impossible situation. Impossibilities only exist in the mind, not in life as long as you have God at work on you. There is a time and a season for everything under heaven and God is eager to bring you to your expected end (Jere. 29:11). Your purpose is more definite than your situation, hence don't give up before He finish His work on you. Fire up your expectations because you glorious end is sure. "For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off" (Pro. 23:18). Have this in mind; and be the winner even before you start!
