“And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.” Genesis 50:24 (KJV)
Joseph spoke so confidently to his brethren that God will certainly visit them and take them to the promise land.
It Happened.
He spoke from an inner assurance that God’s promise to Abraham that HE will give his descendants the land he has promised them
“And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years” Genesis 15:13 (KJV)
Whatsoever God has told you based on His Word will undoubtedly come to pass.
“And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him.” Genesis 18:10 (KJV)
Abraham had a son Isaac precisely as God promised.
Joseph in our text knew from his personal experiences that God honors His Word because all the dreams HE gave him as a child were fulfilled in his lifetime.
God cannot lie.
“God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” Numbers 23:19 (KJV)
Apostle Paul like Joseph of old too could say confidently that God keeps to his Word.
“The confidence of my calling enables me to overcome every difficulty without shame, for I have an intimate revelation of this God. And my faith in him convinces me that he is more than able to keep all that I’ve placed in his hands safe and secure until the fullness of his appearing.” 2 Timothy 1:12 (TPT)
God will surely bring to pass what He has promised you.
“Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.” (2 Timothy 4:8) (KJV)
How many times do we desire something, pursue it with determination for a while, and later feel as if such desires were phantoms that it would never come to pass?
How often have we felt as if something has passed us by, and perhaps, it would never come our way again?
Apostle Paul in our text knew that there is a crown of achievement for promises that God made to him.
Hence he consistently believed and saw the manifestation.
“For all of God’s promises find their “yes” of fulfillment in him. And as his “yes” and our “amen” ascend to God, we bring him glory!” 2 Corinthians 1:20 (TPT)
You are created for excellence.
Excellence is everyone’s heritage, as long as you are in Christ Jesus.
Sometimes The process of attainment could be stressful and tasking, but certainly, the promise is guaranteed in Christ Jesus
Once His Word backs up your promise there is always the Grace to get there.
It does not matter the situation you presently contend with, let your hope be in Christ Jesus, and hold fast to him as an Anchor.
Jesus Christ never bows to situations, but situations must always bow.
“The authority of the name of Jesus causes every knee to bow in reverence! Everything and everyone will one day submit to this name—in the heavenly realm, in the earthly realm, and in the demonic realm.” Philippians 2:10 (TPT)
Your situation will give way and bow in total defeat.
Don’t give up. It’s never too late for a miracle.
There is a crown for you too in overcoming this particular challenge.
The same star they had seen in the East reappeared!
“And so they left, and on their way to Bethlehem, suddenly the same star they had seen in the East reappeared! Amazed, they watched as it went ahead of them and stopped directly over the place where the child was. And when they saw the star, they were so ecstatic that they shouted and celebrated with unrestrained joy.” Matthew 2:9-10 (TPT)
The wise men initially saw the star, which led them up to a point in their search for the baby Jesus.
They took their eyes off it and started asking around from “people who should know” including Herod who had an ulterior motive in what they were searching for.
Thank God for His intervention the star reappeared.
What did God tell you initially?
Having started with God don’t take your eyes of God.
Don’t follow the protocol that will lead you to the Herod that will want to destroy your dream.
As you trace your way back to Bethel God will reappear again in your circumstances.
““Then Jacob made a vow, saying, If God will be with me and will keep me in this way that I go and will give me food to eat and clothing to wear, So that I may come again to my father’s house in peace, then the Lord shall be my God;” Genesis 28:20-21 (AMPC)
God kept to His promise and reappeared to him again and again in Genesis 31
God is the Alpha and Omega.
“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, says the Lord God, He Who is and Who was and Who is to come, the Almighty (the Ruler of all).” Revelation1: 8 (AMPC)
Keep your Eyes, Ears, and Heart on Him.
He will guide you successfully to the end.
“ For this God is our God forever and ever; He will be our guide [even] until death.” Psalm 48:14 (AMPC)
“Now pick up the other arrows,” said Elisha. He picked them up. Then he said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground.” The king struck the ground three times and then quit. The Holy Man became angry with him: “Why didn’t you hit the ground five or six times? Then you would beat Aram until he was finished. As it is, you’ll defeat him three times only.” 2 Kings 13:18-19 (MSG)
The king struck the ground three times and then quit.
And he struck three times and stopped.
The king picked them up and hit the floor three times.
In whichever translation you look at it again,
The bottom line is that the king aimed low, shallow.
How high are your expectations of victory today and for the rest of this year?
This king in our text was so much absorbed about the facts of the opposing army against him, and when he had the lifetime opportunity of winning the battles forever, he took only 3 feeble shots at victory. ( 2 Kings 13: 14-21)
Whose report are you relying on today to make your requests before God?
The 12 spies had two reports (majority and minority reports) Numbers 13:30-33
Joshua and Caleb held on to what they know about God hence they outlived all the other spies in that espionage.
Don’t let the circumstances of what you are going through limit your expectations from God
He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep
Behold, He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. Psalm 121:4 (AMPC)
God is always ahead of your enemies, and He keeps you and your interests safe and secure at all times.
He not only warned but prevented Abimelech from touching Abraham’s wife. “But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night and said, Behold, you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken [as your own], for she is a man’s wife.” Genesis 20:3 (AMPC)
When Laban was plotting against Jacob, He appeared and ensured no harm came to him.“ But God came to Laban the Syrian [Aramean] in a dream by night and said to him, Be careful that you do not speak from good to bad to Jacob [peaceably, then violently].” Genesis 31:24 (AMPC)
God appeared to Paul in a dream and told him that neither he nor the people will come to any harm.“But [even] now I beg you to be in good spirits and take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you but only of the ship.” Acts 27:22 (AMPC)
Paul also told Timothy that all is well with him as he entrusts all to God for safekeeping. “The confidence of my calling enables me to overcome every difficulty without shame, for I have an intimate revelation of this God. And my faith in him convinces me that he is more than able to keep all that I’ve placed in his hands safe and secure until the fullness of his appearing.” 2 Timothy 1:12 (TPT)
There is no need for you to be anxious or worried about an issue once you have committed it to God’s hand.
He got you covered.
He is more than able to keep all that you put in His care
