  JOSEPH  Genesis 50:15-23 Devotional:- “Then his brothers also went and fell down before his face, and they said, "Behold, we are your servants”" (v.18) NKJV   🎙 Victory Daily Devotional JOSEPH Pastor Remi Agbabiaka  ·  Genesis 50:15-23 Remi Agbabiaka Outreach Ministry (RAOM)  |  victorydaily.blogspot.com One of those who encountered divine victory in the word of God was Joseph HHhhhh . And the God who gave him victory has not changed. Right from his youth, he had been facing challenges from his brothers. They hated him because of his dreams. They never wanted his star to shine. The hatred was so much that they planned to kill him, but God preserved him. That same God will also preserve you. He was sold as a slave to Egypt, yet God was with him, and He prospered him.   Even in Egypt he was faced with a lot of challenges because he was standing f...

NOT AUTOMATIC

Philippians.1:1-11
DEV—“And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns” (V.6 NLT)


    Knowing fully well that spiritual growth is one of your purpose of been on the earth, then you also need to know that developing Christ-like character takes years, it is not automatic. We open to God bit by bit. Discipleship is the process of conforming to Christ (Romans 12:2, Ephesians 4:13). The truth is that the journey to Christ-likeness is a life time journey. Growth involves believing, belonging (through fellowship) and becoming (through discipleship). Every day God want you to become a little more like Him (Colossians 3:10)

Today we are interested in speed but God is interested in strength and stability than swiftness (2 Corinthians 3:18). The reason it takes time to grow is because we are slow learner.  We often have to relearn a lesson forth or fifty times to really get it. It is also slows because we have a lot to unlearn. It’s unrealistic to unlearn all the habits we develop in years within a short time. It is slow because we are afraid to humbly face the truth about ourselves. The fear of our exposure keeps us in the prison of denial. It is slow because growth is often painful and scary. It is slow because takes time to develop. Your character is the sum total of your habits. The only way to develop Christ-like character is to practice them.

To cooperate with God, just believe He is working in your life even when you don’t feel it, keep a note of your lesson (Hebrews 2:1). Be patience with god and yourself, God is using your entire life to prepare you for eternity. So, don’t get discouraged. Peace!

Prayer – Lord, give me grace to be patient with you
