Topic: The Essence of Your Challenge!
Text: Gen 50: 20
20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. Amen.
Joseph was unique among his brothers. God in His wisdom decides to favour him although he was the last but one of 12 strong men.
To complicate matters, their father openly showed he loved Joseph more. As a result, his brothers plotted evil against him but God turned it for good.
Stop blaming God, yourself and everyone for your challenges. Rather begin to ask God what the real essence of your pain is. What does He want to teach you through your trials? What ultimate good has He for you if you faithfully endure to the end?
Whenever you feel pressed on every side, know that it is meant to unveil God’s ultimate plan for your life.
Those who are able to uncover the real essence of their challenges, bear with the pain a little better. For they know that in the end, God will glorify Himself in their situation.
Begin to pray therefore. Ask God to help you know through scriptures, why trials come and what every believer must do to overcome. Also ask for grace to continue to love God and your neighbours though pressed on every side.
Do not be afraid at what the devil has meant to harm you, God will turn it around for your good! He will then use your life and story to save many lives.
