Genesis
37:3(Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son
of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colors).
Life indeed is a battlefield and not a
fun fair. Joseph is an interesting character that I love so much. As a believer
if you really want to manifest and preserve your colorful destiny you need to
follow his footstep. We all have our cloth of many colors that our
heavenly father made for us. Cloth represents glory. Our cloth of many colors
is our colorful destiny. Just like Joseph that his brothers stripped naked of
his cloth of many colors that his father Jacob made for him and wanted to kill
him but they later sold him into slavery. The target of the enemy is to strip
us of our glorious destiny, that’s why we need to guide our destiny. When a
star is about to be born Satan knows, he will go after the child or he will
assign his demon to go after the star to make sure that he will never manifest
his or her destiny. (Revelations 12:13-17) describes it very well. Revelation
12:13(And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted
the woman which brought forth the man child. 15 And the serpent cast out of his
mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried
away of the flood). Satan did not want Joseph to be born so he delays his
conception. He even went as far as delaying Rachel’s marriage to Jacob. Please
read my segment titled (FREEDOM FROM MARITAL DELAY: THE EXAMPLE OF RACHEL).
When Joseph was finally born he unleashes his arrow against him to the extent
that his own brothers tried to kill him and finally sold him into slavery.
Joseph was stripped naked of his garment twice but his God given colorful
destiny was preserved because of his relationship with God. His brothers and
Potiphar’s wife collected his garment (Genesis 37:23 39:12). He left it
with them and moved forwards without looking back. Joseph’s secret was his
relationship with God. The scriptures repeated it twice that Joseph feared God
and refused to give up his cloth of many colors. He held it tight. The value we
place on our relationship with God will determine how far we go in life. Revelation
12:16(And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and
swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. 17 And the
dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her
seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus
Christ). I don’t know how fierce the wrath of the devil is against your
destiny, as you are reading this right now the earth will open up and swallow
them in Jesus name. Joseph refuses to defile himself; he prefers to lose his
worldly garment in order to keep his enviable destiny. That’s the secret of a
winner. The scripture says that “And the earth helped the woman” the earth will
help you in Jesus name. Satan hates those who keep the commandment of God and
receive Jesus. God loved those who keep his commandment and he will make sure
that they fulfill their glorious destiny without any hurt just like Joseph (John
14:23). If you will follow God and allow him to lead you, what the enemy
meant for evil, God will turn it against them and it will become your strength.
At the end you will be able to say that they meant it for evil but God used it
to preserve lives even of your enemies (Genesis 50:20). If you fear God
you will keep his commandment. It is not by power nor by might but by his
Spirit. Friends, Joseph has a personal relationship with God and he survives
all the traps of the devil. His father’s relationship with God could not save
him from his brothers. God is waiting for you to come; he wants to have a personal
relationship with you. Here is another opportunity in case you have not
accepted Jesus, do it now and be blessed in Jesus name. You will fulfill your
destiny in Jesus name.
Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a
sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your
precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord
Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
