GOD DIDN’T CALL US…

God didn’t call us to go thru stuff but to grow thru stuff!

God is the author of life. He is the creator of all things that posses life. Jesus provided a way to inherit eternal life by dying on the cross for our sins. When we believe that Jesus is the son of God and He rose from the death to conquer sin and satan and confess Him as our Lord, we are saved. The time between our salvation and our death is a calling given to us to experience God, to demonstrate God and to destroy evil. He didn’t give this life that we just go thru everything but we grow thru in all things. Lets look at a few stuff that Joseph went thru and how he had grown thru those stuff that he went thru.

• From ACTIVELY HATED to ACTIVELY LOVING – Joseph was hated by his brothers but he grew thru this hate and never let hurt and bitterness to rule his life. He was actively showing love to his brothers in the encounter he had with them later.
• From CONSTANTLY TEMPTED to CONSISTENTLY OVERCOMING – Joseph was tempted to sin by Potipar’s wife but he refused and also avoided being in her presence. We see that he was consistently overcoming the sin that was haunting him.
• From WRONGLY CONVICTED to RIGHTLY POSITIONED – Joseph was convicted and sent to prison for the wrong he never committed but God’s favour was with him so he was appointed as incharge of the prison. This also opened up the opportunity to be elevated.
• From UTTERLY FORGOTTEN to CRAZILY REMEMBERED – Joseph was forgotten by the cupbearer for 2 full years from helping him to get out of prison but at the right time he was referred to Pharaoh and elevated as ruler of Eygpt. His life is remembered even today as an inspiration to thousands of people around the world.

Today, you may be hated, tempted, wrongly convicted or forgotten or you may be going thru anything but if you love God and if you know that He is with you, then you can grow thru those circumstances to be elevated as a ruler in life.

Thought: When we understand that God is with us and we are called to grow thru stuff we go thru, then our life becomes more meaningful and beautiful. 

Prayer: Father, help me to always understand that I’m called to experience you and to grow thru in all that happens in my life. In Jesus name. Amen.
