MESSAGE
On the path of destiny, there will be many obstacles and challenges that will cause even the bravest of men to shrink. Those obstacles are designed to test the character and strength of the human soul. For the believer, challenges and obstacles are tests of the strength of our faith and confidence in God.
No one has ever achieved any great feat in life without successfully overcoming mountains and challenges. For the believer, the Bible says we can use our faith to move those mountains. Also, we have a promise in Zechariah 4:7
‘Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And he shall bring forth the capstone With shouts of “Grace, grace to it!” ’ ”
Zechariah 4:7 NKJV
So, what is the mountain standing between you and the fulfillment of your dreams? Is it finance, sickness, disease, or any other challenge? You can be assured of victory if you do not quit.
As we looked at the Bible reading of today, we saw the coronation and celebration of the young man who refused to give up despite all odds. Joseph would not give up his dreams, not for a mere moment of sexual pleasure.
Joseph kept on running toward achieving his dreams until those dreams became a reality. You can also be sure that your given vision will not be buried with you but will materialize and become something that the whole world will one day celebrate you for.
Friend, are you thinking of giving up? Don’t keep up the fight and allow God to help you cross your river Jordan into your promised land.
REFLECTION
looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:2 NKJV
Take your eyes off the obstacles on your oath to success, rather fix your gaze upon Jesus both know your heart and needs.
PRAYER
Father, help me never to look at my problems but to you.
