FAITH CAPSULE: Open your mouth with a deep conviction; confess; trust God and speak out loud, “I am coming out”
Genesis 37
Joseph was acting on his father’s instruction to go and check his brothers when he ended in the pit. It is written, “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!” (Genesis 37:18-20) Are you in any situation which is representing pit of the wicked? The word of God admonished us stating, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.” (Proverbs 18:21) If you will open your mouth with a deep conviction; confess it; trust God and speak out loud, “I am coming out” You shall come out of every representative of pit in your life, in Jesus name. Be conscious and know that, what you did not confess with conviction in your heart will not convert you in your situation.
When Reuben heard the wicked intent of his brothers concerning Joseph, he came up with suggestion stating, “…Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit which is in the wilderness, and do not lay a hand on him”—that he might deliver him out of their hands, and bring him back to his father.”(Genesis 37:22) Joseph did not go into an ordinary pit but into a pit in the wilderness.
Joseph went from his distinctive tunic to a destructive pit; a pit in the wilderness; a pit of no way out; a pit of every kind of life derailment and destruction from getting to his dream. Is your pit closer to that of Joseph’s pit of destruction? With God, no pit is too deep or destructive enough to deny man from getting to one’s center of divine assignment. For Joseph, the pit that was set for his termination was is avenue to God’s center for divine assignment.
The plan and purpose of Joseph’s brother was to make sure the dream was terminated and not come through just as they stated, “…We shall see what will become of his dreams!” (Genesis 37:20) Believe it today, as man proposes to destroy you and afflict you in their wickedness; God will dispose of them by extending His hand of deliverance. You have confessed your deliverance and you shall come out of every pit in Jesus name. Remember, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the LORD delivers him out of them all.” (Psalm 34:19) God is faithful to deliver.
Prayer for today: Ask God to bring you out of every representative of pit in your life.
