TOPIC: WAITING TIME NOT A WASTED TIME 3: Preparation Season
MEMORY VERSE:
James 1:2-4.
“2. My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3. Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
BIBLE READING:
Genesis 39:3-4.
“3. And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
4. And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.”
Waiting time shows you the purpose of God for your life in spite of the situation you are. When you are waiting or going through those difficult time, they are preparation time. As a student seats for examination that’s how God is examining us. He will show us where He is taking us to, in disguise all he wanted from us is how we will handle the situations when we get there. When potiphar bought Joseph as a slave, he never intended to put him in charge of his house, he was to be used as a slave but God knew the reasons why he brought him there so, he made potiphar danced to His own tune by putting him in charge and see how he will handle it.
If we can be sensitive we will see where God is taking us to in disguise notwithstanding what we are going through. Joseph was a slave but a high rank slave over other slaves, he was a commander even though a foreigner. All these was a way of God preparing him on how to handle situations when he gets to the place of God’s purpose. Even in the prison, he was still put in-charge above all his contemporaries. You are under the construction of God in that waiting period. How you handle situations determines when you are graduating from that stage to another stage. Do you oppress people with that little post still in the prison? Do you look down on people with that little in your hands? To graduate from that level and reach your next destination it’s in your hands. Allow God to have his way in you.
Good Morning And God Bless You.
