Pastor Jerry Eze has inspired his congregation to embrace dedication and resilience, calling on them to complete their commitments and embody the spirit of a “finisher.” Drawing on a parable, he illustrated the importance of finishing, describing a master who continually hired workers throughout the day, only seeing the task completed when those hired at the “11th hour” joined. “People of God, their presence finished the work,” he explained, underscoring the value of persistence and seeing responsibilities through.
Pastor Eze encouraged his audience to revisit tasks left unfinished, prompting them to resume where they stopped. “Look at all the proposals you should have written… Have you finished them?” he asked. “Get to them. Finish.”
Emphasizing that true recognition lies in completion rather than mere beginnings, Pastor Eze reminded, “Nobody will applaud you that you started, but the generation will honor you that you finished.” He advised everyone to assess lingering projects, relationships, and personal goals as the year comes to a close, pointing out that “execution, implementation, following through, and monitoring” are common obstacles to achieving success.
Pastor Eze’s final exhortation urged the congregation to avoid leaving tasks incomplete for others to pick up, encouraging them to approach each responsibility with determination. “There will not be a glorious finish until you learn how to finish the things you can finish by yourself,” he affirmed.
