FAITH CAPSULE: For your dream to come through you have to pass through.
Genesis 37
Dream is described as a succession of images, thoughts, or emotions passing through the mind during sleep. For a young man’s dream it was a true revealed journey with no direction of engaging the dream. 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) Joseph’s dream sounded positive but was received with negative and it positioned him negative before his brothers.
Joseph had a dream at a young age seventeen. Joseph’s dream was without direction but he was to pass through.
Do you have a positive dream and yet every step into your dream is coming out negative?
For your dream to come through you have to pass through. The dream that Joseph had at age seventeen did not come to manifestation until he was thirty years old. Joseph waited for thirteen years to have his dream come through. The Bible recorded that Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age. (Genesis 37:3) For Joseph’s dream, he encountered hate; envy took a stand against him and he was completely displaced from his base.
Unknowingly, Joseph began the journey of his dream when he passed through the pit of lack and went into slavery before arriving at the land of his dream center of manifestation. Interestingly, Joseph’s brothers were the agents of hate and evil that set to destroy or deny Joseph’s dream. The Joseph’s brothers were also unknowingly the ones that were set to bring his dream to manifestation. When man proposes, God disposes. God is the Almighty One and there is none besides Him. As a believer of the living word of God, know this day that God sees all. Today, also make it a point to be looking to God in all situations. It is written in Genesis 41:46, “Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.” A dream of thirteen years journey seemed like an endless dream but it came to manifest.
Does your dream seem like no manifestation?
With God nothing is impossible.
The journey that began at age of seventeen for Joseph did not get him to the top until he was thirty years old. God’s timing is different from man’s timing.
God does not keep to man’s time but keeps man in His own time. It does not matter how long it takes to crawl out of pit, God and only God will bring positive dream to manifestation.
Prayer for today: Ask God to see you through at His appointed time for your life.
