THE PROCESS

Text :  Isa 64:8.

 *But as for you, O LORD, you are our Father; and we are clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hands.* 

Imagine the process  gold goes through before it comes out as gold. Now imagine that the gold has a will-power, probably it will simply jump out of the process when too much heat is applied. 

For us to come out as a refined product in the hands of God, we have to pass through processes. Unlike inanimate objects however,  *man has the will power to abort the process that should launch him into destiny.* 

We shall be looking at some individuals and the processes they went through before they became the icons we know them to be today.

The very first case study we will consider today is Joseph. 

Joseph had a dream which was given to him by the Lord. Gen. 37. From a tender age he had the understanding that he was to be a ruler.

It is important to know why you are here. *You are not a product of mistake, God has a specific plan in mind for you to fulfill.* 

After Joseph had understood God's purpose for his life, he had to go through 'his process' before his manifestation. 

1. *BETRAYAL :*  Joseph was betrayed by his own blood brothers. Gen 37:18-22.  On the way to fulfilment,  you are likely to meet a lot of betrayals. Brace up yourself and see it as a process.

2. *Slavery:* For someone who had a dream of becoming a leader, you can imagine how devastating it must be for Joseph to discover that instead of being a leader, he became a slave. 
 *Ultimately,  you are not defined by your situation but by your drive.* 

3. *Imprisonment:* Joseph was eventually imprisoned for a very good reason, yet he refused to let go of his God. If he had lowered his standards because of the challenges, he would have cut down the ladder that will lift him to greatness. Gen. 39.

All of these unseemly circumstances were processes that Joseph had to go through before he could land in the palace. If he had boycott any of the stages, he would have boycotted destiny.

 *To grow, you have to go through processes, and don't expect it to be rosy. But know that there's light at the end of the tunnel.* 


 *BIBLE READING* : 
Gen. 37:1-36.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Father, help me not to jump out of my refining fire.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

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...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
