Psalm 105:17 (He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant: 18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron: 19 Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him. 20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free).
The future of every believer is bright and it is ordained by God but our approach towards life is what will determine whether we are going to fulfill our destiny or not. We are here on earth for a purpose and everything about our journey here on earth from the beginning to the end is being planned by God; and in order to make the most of our journey and end well we need to align ourselves with God. Most times God plays the video of the end for us in order to get us interested in the journey; the revelation or the dream of what we are destined to be is what encourages us to continue in the journey. God expected us to hold on to the dream which is revealed to us through His word whenever the road becomes very rough and the battle becomes tougher. Gold and silver will not be celebrated if they ran away from the heat; the hotter the fire the more refined they become and every destiny child is liken to a gold and silver; If the goldsmith know that at the end of his work he would not get something valuable out he would not make any effort to blow the coal. Every gold and silver go through the trials of fire and they all come out refined and more valuable. God knows what is hidden in our destiny; He knows what he has put in you and also knows that you can stand all the trials. Every child of God has something to offer but many are unable pass through the challenges; they are stuck not able to move forward. Many have wrestled with Satan and his agent and prevailed but yet nothing seems to change and that is where the problem is. Paul pressed hard towards his destiny because he had seen the end; he knew about the crown (Philippians 3:14). Joseph pressed hard and patiently ran his race because he saw the throne and he trusted God who had shown him his future; he was very sure that the prison was not the end of his journey. His positive attitude towards life is one of his hidden strengths. The word of God came to Joseph in the dream (Genesis 37); the LORD reveal to him that he is going to be a king and he will rule over his brothers; the same word that was revealed to him became a snare to him; at that point the word of God begin to try him. Genesis 37:5 (And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brethren: and they hated him yet the more). He continued to wrestle with God and refused to give up until his word came again and set him free and gave him his throne. Joseph refuse to let go; he held God tight; saying, I know what you show me and what i also learn about you from my father Jacob that you have never fail; and how he wrestle with you for a change of name and prevail; so i am ready for the wrestling and just like my father i would not let you go until you crown me. Secondly, he says to God that he saw the throne and that he must get there no matter what it takes; he refuse to let go of the dream even though everythings seems contrary; he said to God, i heard you cannot lie so my dream will definitely manifest and he ignore all the suffering and focus on the throne. Numbers 23:19 (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?) Friends, that's how to wrestle with God, you have to make your case based on your knowledge of Him because the bible says you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free (John 8:32). God cannot deny His word; He was bound in chains, he was locked in the prison yet God was there with him for the wrestling. No matter where you are so long you are ready for the wrestling God will make Himself available to you. The word of God is God Himself; that's why the bible said the word of God tries Joseph. John 1:1 (In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God). Just like Joseph, I am sure somebody´s word has come today via this message; Friends, rejoice because your freedom is now and your enthronement is here, in Jesus name. It is not every child of God that is qualified to approach Him for wrestling. You need to prove that you are actually qualified to approach His throne of grace. Psalm 24:3 (Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? 4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. 5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation). Joseph refused to be defiled, he kept his garment clean and God was always with Him and if you really want to fulfil your glorious destiny you need to emulate him. The first step is to be a child of God; and then you can now position yourself for wrestling. So, in case you are not yet His son or daughter and wish to, then what are you waiting for; grab this opportunity now by praying this salvation prayer below and be blessed 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 saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
