FAITH CAPSULE: When your breakdown is around know it with expectation that your breakthrough will arrive.
Genesis 41
Anxiousness is not of God. To be anxious is to be worried. Worrying is the opposite of worship. Anyone that engages worry will disengage from worshiping God. When there is no worship world affairs sneak into man. Apostle Paul admonishes us by stating, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.” (Philippians 4:6) God is a prayer answering Father and there is nothing impossible for God to do. What is keeping you down? Whatever is keeping you down will surely not be able to stop you from rising if at all times your face is fixed on God. Today and just like in the bible days many were broken before their breakthrough. Is your love for the Lord and your walk before God is consistent? Make the choice to be consistently relevant living by the word of God and watch things change overnight for God’s glory over your life.
Imagine Moses living in the great palace of Pharaoh since he was three months old before he was broken from palace to desert and from desert to shepherd. Moses, from his desert he later became a giant in God’s hand. Joseph the dreamer was broken from the presence of his father’s love because of wickedness of his brothers. Joseph went down into pit; from pit to slavery and from slavery to prison. Eventually, Joseph came out from the pit, slavery, prison to become one that sat beside Pharaoh as the prime minister for the whole land of Egypt.
By virtue of your challenges, changes overnight are causing friends to scatter from you and no longer be there to help. You can hardly count on anyone for help and it seems you are the only Christian that is out of place. All that surrounds you is beginning to wonder how long you will go through what you are going through. Complaint, discouragement or self-destruction is not what you need. You need to know that God will see you through if you will keep seeing through in the word of God. Psalmist points out, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.” (Psalm 34:19) God is faithful to honor His word if we are able to hold our peace and not be anxious for the enemy to take over our life.
The point here is that God constantly want to be glorified and make Himself a glorious name. When your breakdown is around know it with expectation that your breakthrough will arrive. He is a jealous God and He wants to be glorified concerning your life. God will see you through because you are not alone.
Prayer for today: Ask God for help to bring you up from where you are down; ask Him to build you where you are broken.
