The first is your
arrival point (also known as entry point) which is the focus in view. Everyone has
got an arrival point and this not represents one’s earthly destiny. Your
arrival point is your beginning and for a lot of people, it is usually
characterized by smallness. That point where you struggle to live and make a
living. It is a phase where it seems you are still behind in life or not making
progress.
The days when you
literally depend on other people to etch out a living…when you find your life
seeming to depend on somebody who is rather not willing to help you…when you do
those jobs to just strengthen the hope of the next breath. For some, the
arrival point was on foreign soil…in the best hospital…in the best mansions;
but some, it was in the “mud” of poverty…the shadows of pains and lack…the
rising sun of struggles…and the most lowly of homes; this is where many found
themselves. But, whatever it was, it was just an arrival point…it is not where
your life is meant for. It is an entry point for you into the journey of life. It
is but a background which is not destined to put your back on the ground. It is
just one of life’s phases.
For some, this arrival point lasts for a small
number of years such that by 20years of age, they are liberated. For others, it
happens before 20years…and yet for some, it extends beyond 20years, reaching 30
and even beyond. But, it does not last for a lifetime!
Jesus had an entry
point too…born of Mr. Joseph, a carpenter, and Miss Mary, perhaps a full time
housewife. His birth was in a manger. He helped His earthly parents in the
father’s carpentry workshop. It was not His end, it was just a start. But when
the time came, “Heaven Opened” to Him (Luke 3:21), and that was the beginning
of greatness in His life and ministry. He was about 30years old then. Jesus’
arrival point lasted for over 29years, but ended one day. Friend, one day is
too much to forget the past and be a part of the beautiful future.
It is not a sin that
you are where you are…but it is a truth that you won’t remain there for too
long. Your Heaven is just about to open, and that will be the beginning of
greatness in your life…and at that point, the speed with which things will fall
in place for you will be so amazing that all those who thought you would remain
forever in smallness, they will think again, and come to you for help. WIN!!!
