NEVER UNDER-ESTIMATE 'THE POWER OF ONE'

"These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth
overspread" (Genesis 9:19).

After the flood waters had dried up from the earth, Noah and his family came out from the Ark. You could imagine the sight the world would greet them with a massive wasteland full of debris. But out of the confusion and the wreck that the world must have been, the three sons of Noah built a new world, raising families to repopulate the earth, creating values to redefine the world, building cities and civilisations, and laid the foundation for a new generation. They made positive constructions out of the massive destructions that pervaded the earth landscape of the time. Just the three of them.

Rebuilding the world of that time must have been a very daunting task. There would have been so much to do but few hands to confront the challenges. But the sons of Noah did it all the same, in spite of
their limitations. 
Friends, I am persuaded that if three people could rebuild the world made up of six continents and now with more than two hundred countries, one person is more than enough to rebuild a city or even positively turn around a whole country. And you could just be that one person.

I have found out that sometimes, it really does not require much to accomplish much. With the little that you have, you can change your life and impact your environment positively. The story of the three sons of Noah teaches us that few can create many and so little can generate so much. That is why the Bible says we should not despise the days of small beginnings.

The sons of Noah had three things going for them. First, they had God on their side. 
Second, they had breath within them. 
Third, they had the whole wide world before them. Everyone of us have exactly those same things the sons of Noah had with which they turned around the world from an empty wasteland into cities and built civilisations.
They didn't have money, and if they did, it was completely useless, for there was nothing to buy with it and no labourer to hire with it.
They had no connections in high places for there was nobody to connect with other than the potentials that laid within them. So then I came to the conclusion that if you don't have money or helpers, but you have those three things that the sons of Noah had, you can change your world positively. Yes, with God on your side, your breath intact within you, and the world before you, you can create wonders and birth a new world.

Surely, with God on your side, your little shall become thousands and your smallness shall be transformed into greatness. Your worst shall become your best, and your least shall provide you with a lift from
the dungeon of defeat and depression. No matter the depth of your fall, you can and will rise again. You will arise and shine because your light will shine again. It is not going to be by your might, nor
by your power. But the Lord who is mighty and strong will help you through. He's all you need to make it through. Hold on to Him, tightly.
