FAITH CAPSULE: When God is with one, no evil can be against such.
Genesis 37, 39
The wickedness of this world is rooted in the heart.
Jeremiah 17:9 records, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?
The brothers of Joseph took the position of wickedness in the direction of Joseph.
Genesis 37:18-20 records, “Now when they saw him afar off, even before he came near them, they conspired against him to kill him. Then they said to one another, “Look, this dreamer is coming! Come therefore let us now kill him and cast him into some pit, and we shall say, ‘Some wild beast has devoured him.’ We shall see what will become of his dreams!”
The Brothers of Joseph turned out to become enemies and wanted to see what to become of Joseph and his dream.
Often, wicked ones do not remember that God is in charge of heaven and earth affairs.
Regardless of how long the act of evil exists, the intervention of God shall prevail.
God alone sees evil acts and will not look away from evil deeds.
Ecclesiastes 8:11 states, “Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.”
Are you with evil agenda like the brothers of Joseph?
The story of Joseph is evidence that one with God will excel for the glory of God, not be a victim of evil ones.
Moreso, God is a God that does not fail to keep His own.
Genesis 39:2- 4 documents, “The LORD was with Joseph, and he was a successful man, and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. And his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD made all he did to prosper in his hand. So Joseph found favor in his sight and served him. Then he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put under his authority.”
God was with Joseph because the enemy chose to be against him. The enemy wanted to deny him to live to the fulfillment of the purpose of God.
Are you experiencing evil set against your life?
Live for God to be with the assurance that God is with you to prevail.
Evidently, God was with Joseph.
There was mercy, favor, prosperity, success, and authority in place in the life of Joseph.
When God is with one, no evil can be against such that walk in the word of God.
The strength of Joseph was his secret.
The secret of Joseph was his fear of God.
The book of Proverbs 14:27 records, “The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to turn one away from the snares of death.”
The word of God is forever, and He will not fail to perform His word. God alone shall turn around the intent of the enemy to good.
Prayer for the day: Ask God for mercy and become an over-comer against evil agenda.
