FAITH CAPSULE: Man often forgets that God will always have the final say.

Genesis 43

Joseph had a dream, “There we were, binding sheaves in the field. Then behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and indeed your sheaves stood all around and bowed down to my sheaf.” (Genesis 37:7) His dream does not settle well with his brothers because it was an indication that they were going to bow for him. While he was sent by his father Jacob to go and check the welfare of his brothers his brother took away his welfare. At Joseph’s appearance to his brother at Dothan, they said to each other, “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 37:20) The brothers thought they had a good plan to terminate his dream; they also ridicule the plan of God by stating, “We shall see what will become of his dreams!” At the appointed time they eventually bow down. When the brothers came to him at his position as the prime minister of Egypt (one next to Pharaoh) they responded to his question about their father, “Your servant our father is in good health; he is still alive.” And they bowed their heads down and prostrated themselves.”” (Genesis 43:28)

The dream that got Joseph to Egypt became the avenue for the manifestation of the dream. Joseph’s brothers did not only bow but they ended up in a prostrate position. You can be rest assured today, as a child of God, every challenge that supposed to bow before you shall come to look for you and bow to the glory of God over your life. Joseph’s brothers were only supposed to bow according to the dream but ended up bowing and prostrating. Joseph’s brothers did not only see what God did for Joseph but they were dumbfounded, silent and ridiculously embarrassed by their wickedness. Man often forgets that God will always have the final say. God alone started the job of creating man and by that virtue, no man has the power to terminate if God did not terminate. In the race of life, let your enemies run or walk they will not catch up with you, but they will be weary and faint in Jesus name. Concerning your situation, God will respond at his appointed time, He will not be late neither will he be too early.

Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace to constantly and consistently remain focus on Him.
