INSPIRATION (Giving direction to your day) - OLA AINA

NOTHING CAN STOP YOU 3 Read 1 HERE & 2 HERE

Text: “Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall; The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him. But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God...” Gen 49:22-24

This is a very long passage today. But I needed to write it all for you to see clearly the testimony of the man Joseph. His life and experience is a major source of inspiration for me.

He was literally hated. The archers grieved him, shot at him and hated him. It was not a hidden hatred, it was an open one. None of this could stop the fulfilment of God’s counsels for his life. Everything that was done to stop him was the very things that God used to take him to the throne. If you read our anchor scripture carefully you will notice that Joseph was said to be a “fruitful bough by a well”, there was a grace working on his life that his brothers could not see. The hands of the mighty God were not seen physically but were working behind the scene to bring him into destiny.

Each one of us must also be very conscious of the grace of God at work in our lives. The fullness of the grace of God was credited on your life at Calvary. This grace is at work in our spirit. It does not matter what anyone did or is doing against us we must end up on the “throne”, the more they work against us the more God takes us higher.

We must also be conscious and confident of the invisible hand of God on our lives. We are not ordinary men and women. We are born of God. He is our father and we are his children. If the whole world is against you and God is on your side there is nothing to fear. They may do everything possible to stop you but the invisible hand of God will take you up.

PRAYER:

In the name of Jesus I declare that nothing will stop me in life. The hand of God is mighty on my life.
