Ever read about a guy whose name starts with a "J" and ends with an "H"? Well, I strongly believe majority of us are familiar with the guy and I'll bet most of us have heard a sermon about him at one point in our lives or the other.
PIT - PRISON - PALACE.
I believe it's sounding more familiar by now. Well, isn't that an awesome transformation? It sure is!
Getting down to the last phase of being a Prime Minister in Egypt and fulfilling God's primary purpose, which was to provide and preserve the Israelites during the period of famine, was not a feat accomplished overnight.
No, not at all. It took a process of training, learning and lots of patience. I want to guess Joseph must have thought himself close to his dreams when he got to Potiphar's household. He must have received the greatest shocker of his life when he landed in prison for a crime he didn't even think of committing. He must have wondered where God was at the time and why He didn't rise to his defence someway, somehow.
One major belief we tend to hold on to as believers is the fact that, if it's God, then, it's got to be smooth. Where have we gotten that from? I'll say over and over again that it's such an erroneous idea. The fact that it's God doesn't necessitate that we would have it easy.
Everyone on the surface of the earth, doing exploits in their fields today have definitely gone through a process. A day - old baby doesn't recite numbers but a four - year old toddler could. Why? The toddler has undergone a process, while the baby hasn't. We call it "Kindergarten".
The Dark patches are non-negotiable, we must go through them. It is my prayer that when we go through the valleys and shadows of Character molding may we not fail the tests in Jesus Name.
With Love,
Holy Spirit in Omotola.
