FAITH CAPSULE: In your journey, commit yourself to no man but commit to God.

Genesis 37

Engaging the calling upon your life, the journey of life, commit yourself to no man but commit to God. In Jesus’ word is wisdom not to commit unto man, as stated, “But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all men.” (John 2:24)
In the type of God’s calling over one’s life is not within one to decide or negotiate for one’s preference type of God’s calling to answer before God. God is the Creator of all and sees before or beyond all of our journey in life. In all of God’s calling, there is a plan of God to set one up to arrive at the center of divine assignment if called one will focus on His faithfulness.
When God calls, there will be no prior arrangement; there be no announcement before calling; there be no baggage to hinder or slow one down. Above all, God’s calling will break one before the manifestation of God’s blessing.
Your journey today is possible to be a journey that is leading you into the calling of God. Joseph engaged an unexpected journey with an unknown and painful route to becoming gainful in the hand of God.  In the calling of God, Joseph, in his journey of answering to God he was broken before the manifestation of God’s blessing over his life.
Joseph answered God’s calling over his life without knowing the journey of God’s calling ahead of his life. At age 17, Joseph’s answering to Jacob (his father) was the route for the path to his center of God’s assignment. Jacob said, “…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) The answering to Jacob led Joseph into the journey of God’s divine assignment without preparation before entering of his God’s calling.
The book of Psalm 105:17-22 shed light on the truth that Joseph’s journey was his answer to God’s calling. Psalm 105:17-22, “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.”
Joseph at 17 years (Genesis 37:2) could not see his beloved father Jacob until over 30 years of age. (Genesis 41:46)
When God calls to send you, self-control shall be out of your control.
When He called Joseph, he became a slave; he could no longer move at his own will or self-control. Joseph came under the authority which he could not control. Joseph, in his journey, he remained focus on God to graduate from a priced slave to become a prime minister.

Prayer for today: Ask God for God’s established hand upon your life to live life for His glory.
