FAITH CAPSULE: Do not derail by any force to arrive at the calling of God.
Genesis 39
God alone created all for His glory and His honor.
Revelation 4:11 testifies to God, the Creator of all, for His will, “You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, and by Your will, they exist and were created.”
What is it that you do not understand about God?
God alone is the Almighty, the Ancient of days, the only Eternal Creator.
1Timothy 6:15 describes God, “…He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords.”
God alone is above and beyond all, and Psalmist states it clearly, “The Lord sat enthroned at the Flood, And the Lord sits as King forever.” (Psalm 29:10)
God is the unchanging changer that will make and unmake.
God alone is in the position to reverse the irreversible.
The calling of all belongs to God.
God creates all for a purpose to live life before Him while having the breath of life.
His calling comes with the process, for His purpose over the called ones.
The calling of God over your life must be connected to God continually by dwelling and abiding in His direction to answer the calling of God obediently.
In the journey of life, where are you today?
Consciously or unconsciously, your journey can lead you into the center of the divine assignment of God for you.
The calling of Joseph is an example of unconscious answering to the calling of God into the journey with an unknown and painful route to arrive at the divine assignment of God.
The calling of God broke Joseph before the manifestation of the blessing of God over his life.
Joseph answered the calling of God over his life without knowing the journey ahead of his life.
At age 17, the answering of Joseph to Jacob (his father) was the route of God for his divine assignment.
Jacob said to Joseph, “…Please go and see if it is well with your brothers and well with the flocks and bring back word to me.” So, he sent him out of the Valley of Hebron, and he went to Shechem.” (Genesis 37:14)
The answering to Jacob led Joseph into the calling of God without prior announcement for Joseph.
Joseph was at 17 years (Genesis 37:2), and he could not see his beloved father Jacob until he was over 30 years of age. (Genesis 41:46)
Joseph engaged in the calling of God.
Joseph became SLAVERY with PRICE that turned to PRIME MINISTER.
Regardless of where you are today, do you know if you are answering the calling of God?
In answer to the calling of God, Joseph could no longer move at his own will.
Joseph came under an authority that he could not control.
Know that the called one into an unknown route will learn to wait on God, to become obedient to God.
Prayer for today: Ask not to fail to answer the calling of God.
