LET GOD

Text : Genesis 45:5 

 *Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.* 

A common saying has it thus "Let Go and Let God" To let go is to pardon  offences and forgive offenders . To let God  is to take position with God. It is allowing God have His way. It is seeing an offence through God's eyeglasses, and allowing Him to fight for you.

Joseph knew this very well. He pardoned his brothers without any reservation. He must have given them forgiveness a long while before he met them again. This is because He understood what the Lord was using the offence for. *Every single offence you receive is actually meant to work out great reward in you and for you.* 

Joseph who should be hurting suddenly became the counsellor to his offenders. He could do this because he has allowed God in his life.
He told his brothers the reason they did what they did to him. 
" *Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life"*  

Are you also seeing God's hands behind all the barrages of offences coming to you?

Joseph was able to see God's hand behind his brothers' evil towards him. If you are narrating the story, you will say that his brother SOLD him out. But Joseph's  narration was quite different. He said,  "...God did send me before you to preserve life" He saw things differently.

When you refuse to let Go of offences,you are simply not letting(allowing) God.
For instance, when Jesus was sold out by Judas Iscariot, He was  never offended because He knew that such action is a platform for His lifting into purpose. 

May you find grace to let go and let God in Jesus name. 

 *BIBLE READING*: Genesis 45:1-5.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Lord, give me grace to give forgiveness unreservedly.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
