DCLM Higher Everyday 12 October 2025 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — You Will Finish Your Project
Topic: You Will Finish Your Project
Text: Zechariah 4:1-10
1And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep,
3And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.
4So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?
5Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
6Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
7Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.
8Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
9The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you.
10For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
Key Verse: “The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you” (Zechariah 4:9).
Message
The text gives us account of Zerubbabel, a Babylonian Jew who returned to Jerusalem as the head of a band of Jews in exile and became governor of Judaea under the Persians. Influenced by the prophets Haggai and Zechariah, he rebuilt the Temple. There were limitations and challenges which could have hindered his rising up and accomplishing this great and noble task, but he did not allow any of such to define him and affect his purpose for living.

Life generally is not without challenges but with positive perception, purpose, persistence, and prevailing prayer; you will finish well. What is that project in your hand? The same promise of God to Zerubbabel, “The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it,” is for you too. Do not give up on that project, career line, or dream, but go for it with focus and faith in God. Every obstacle is a stepping stone to the finish line. Believe you can! Just as Zerubbabel laid the foundation and finished it, you will also finish your project.
Quote: Believe you can!
Challenge: Do not give up on that project.
Prayer for today: Lord, help me to see only your possibilities.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
