LIVING
POSITIVE
Genesis
45:1-13
Devotional:- “But
now, do not, therefore, be grieved or angry with yourselves because you sold me
here; for God sent me before you to preserve life.” (V.5) NKJV
Many
of us have not come to the truth that God meant business when He created man.
So many still look at life as a joke but few have begun to take their place in
destiny. I see you joining the great people in Jesus' name.
God
has earlier revealed to Joseph that he will be a ruler even over his brothers.
Yet for many years it was not looking like it. To worsen the case, he was
constantly hated by his brothers. They hated him deeply from their heart but
the bible never recorded a time of grievous reaction from Joseph. He was a
comported man. The brothers threw him into the pit and sold him as a slave to
the Egyptians. None of these moved him. He believed in his dream that he would
become what God had destined him to be notwithstanding his challenges. If they
had left him in the pit, he would still be great, they were ignorant of this
(Genesis 37:20).
People
may be doing anything to you but you must be positive about yourself. Don’t let
that bug you. Joseph became great because he was positive and not moved. If your
situation always determines your mood, you have been conquered by it. When he
made himself known to his brothers, he handled the situation well by not complaining.
He had always known that they could not stop him from achieving his dream.
Friend,
no one can stop you, take your place in faith and be mature. Stop reacting to
situations unnecessarily. You will achieve your dream.
Prayer:
Lord, help me to refuse to be trapped by situations.
“YOUR
REACTIONS ARE TRICKS TO TRAP YOU, WATCH OUT”
