Post date: Dec 19, 2013 5:02:19 AM
There are many thing out there that had been destined by the devil to keep you from reaching the heights of your dreams as revealed by your God, they are fully determined and equipped to take you away from the promise that can change everything about you physically, spiritually, and affect all other things destined to take you to the place of your rest. They are determined to take you away from all your life expectations, and to take you away from seeing your very best being accomplished in life despite the enormous gift of God in you, your natural potentials, abilities, the professional trainings you have received, and all the investments you have put in place to make things better. One thing is quite clear, when you keep the fire of your expectations burning, there is no way they devil will succeed to keep you back indefinitely.
You are directly responsible in keeping this fire of your expectation burning by the continuous exercise of your faith, this can be achieved by keeping your hope in the redemptive power of Christ Jesus alive, keeping your genuinely given dreams alive, keeping your visions for the very best from God alive. Remember, in Christ Jesus, everything about you are made nearer as you press on towards the mark of His grace and the assurance that God is more than able.
One thing the devil fears most at all time is the fire of faith, the determination to press on for the promise despite the physical and spiritual obstructions, and your continuous reliance on Christ Jesus to open the door for you. Determination and faith are two things you should never seek to separate. Do not give up on your faith, on your God and on determination. Never give up your dreams because the devil is still fighting and hindering you. When the fire is continuous through prayers, fasting, study of His word and praise, the devil will definitely give up hindering you in that area, and all that he had done against you will be disbanded.
Despite the continuous struggles, by divine grace, you have been destined to have that which had been promised by the Lord your God, you have been destined to wear the crown of excellence and joy, you have been destine to be a partaker of the harvest in the day of harvest, you have been destined to be the recipient of the good news; the devil can only hinder you for a time. Joseph was destined by God to be above everyone in his family including his parents. This was made known to him in two separate dreams, but the road to get where God had destined for him to be what God said took him through situations that were not revealed in those two dreams. He was hated by his brothers, but he loved them and offered to run errand for them. He was sold to as a slave, but he kept himself; accused and imprisoned, moved from one prison to another, but he never gave up hope, never gave up the dream, never despises his God, and never allowed the fire of his faith to die, and finally, God confirmed His words and he was what God said.
“Then his brothers went and fell down before him, saying, See, we are your servants. And Joseph said to them, Fear not; for am I in the place of God? Vengeance is His, not mine. As for you, you thought evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring about that many people should be kept alive, as they are this day. Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat its grapes? Who tends a flock and does not drink the milk? Do I say this merely on human authority? Doesn’t the Law say the same thing? For it is written in the Law of Moses: Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain. Is it about oxen that God is concerned? Surely he says this for us, doesn’t he? Yes, this was written for us, because whoever plows and threshes should be able to do so in the hope of sharing in the harvest.” Genesis 50:18-20; 1 Corinthian 9:7-10. For prayers Click here
