Topic: Testing Your Character.
Scripture for Today: “Until the time came to fulfill his dreams, the LORD tested Joseph’s character”. Psalm 105 verse 19, (NLT). New Living Translation.
Message: Friend, before your dream comes to pass, God will test your character. You have to prove that you can handle what He’s entrusted you with. God gave Joseph a dream that he would be in leadership, but his brothers took away his coat of many colours that represented his father’s favour and sold him into slavery in Egypt, where he was falsely accused and put in prison. These weren’t just random bad breaks; God was testing his character. It wasn’t fair, but Joseph didn’t get bitter. He kept passing the test. His brothers took his robe, but they couldn’t take the divine favour from him. They took his freedom, but they couldn’t take his anointing. They took him from his home, but they couldn’t take his dream. All these steps prepared him to become the prime minister of Egypt. Be a Joseph. Do the right thing when it’s hard. That difficulty is not there to stop you, it’s there to prepare you. Keep passing the test. God is about to release you into a new level of favour, influence, and resources.
Prayer for Today: “Father, thank You for loving me so much that You work to refine my character and bring me up higher. Thank You for the training and preparation process that You are taking me through even now. I believe that I will pass the tests and get to where You are taking me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
Prophetic Declaration: At one level or the other before now, you were once a student of a secular institution. We all know how devastating it could be when you’re asked to repeat a class. It’s terrible and even more destructive when you spiritually kept on repeating classes, particularly in your Christian journey of life. Whenever your character is being tested by God like that of Joseph, ability to pass at one sitting is released to you. You shall get promotion, possess all that God has prepared for you in your next higher class. Peace and progress shall be yours in your Christian journey of life. So shall it be in Jesus mighty name. Amen.
JESUS SAID: “Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. Revelation chapter 22 verse 12 (NIV). Are you ready for the second coming of Jesus Christ? Please give your life to Jesus.
