FAITH CAPSULE: He will never leave you broken if you answer faithfully.
Genesis 37
When God calls to send one, one becomes a candidate for His blessing.His calling will break you at the initial stage but will no doubt turn to blessing when obedient is in place.The ones He breaks are meant to be blessed. His breaking comes along with blessing. (Jesus broke and blessed the bread of life) He will never leave you broken if you answer faithfully. When He calls help will be in place if the called one makes the choice not to look away from His help.
The calling of God does not come without challenges (challenges that are enough to cause the called one to crumble comes along with calling) Regardless of challenges, there is promise to see he called one through in His calling. The word of God promised in 1Thessalonian 5:24, “He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.”
When God calls you, He will set you up and He will back you up to arrive at the center of your divine assignment if you will focus on His faithfulness. When God calls there be no prior arrangement; there be no announcement before calling; there be no baggage to hinder or slow down one’s move. Above all, in His calling, breaking comes before blessing. God called Joseph and he was broken before he was blessed. Joseph was answering to the calling upon his life without knowing that he was.
At age 17, Joseph was answering to Jacob’s (his father) errand when he entered the path to his center of divine assignment. Jacob spoke 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) From the moment Joseph went answering to Jacob’s errand he wandered into the journey of his life without prior preparation or idea of what he was getting into.
The book of Psalm 105:17-22 shed light on the truth that Joseph’s journey was an answer to God’s plan and purpose without his knowing. Joseph had no preparation that takes him into his journey. It is written, “He sent a man before them—Joseph—who was sold as a slave. They hurt his feet with fetters, He was laid in irons. Until the time that his word came to pass, the word of the Lord tested him. The king sent and released him, the ruler of the people let him go free. He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his possessions, to bind his princes at his pleasure, and teach his elders wisdom.”
God is awesome by virtue of the operation of His hand. Have you been called with you knowing? Your calling shall come and God shall back you up.
Prayer for today: This month, God will cause you to rise and you shall have a change of position which glorifies God over your life.
