FAITH CAPSULE:<\/strong> God is in absolute control of man\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

Genesis 37<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

God is in absolute control of man\u2019s life and nothing is able to hide from Him. Joseph journeyed from pain to gain which was empty pit to prime minister. Joseph started journey of pain when his father sent him out to check out the wellness of his brothers. However, when his brothers spotted him at far they conspired against him to kill him. In the place of killing Joseph, Reuben suggested placing Joseph in empty pit. Joseph\u2019s journey from pain to gain was written for our learning to be encouraged in God\u2019s absolute control. It is written, \u201cSo it came to pass, when Joseph had come to his brothers, that they stripped Joseph of his tunic, the tunic of many colors that was on him. 24\u00a0<\/sup>Then they took him and cast him into a pit. And the pit was empty; there was no water in it.<\/em>\u201d (Genesis 37:23-24)<\/em><\/strong> God was in position with absolute control when Joseph journeyed from empty pit into chain as slave; from slavery to prison and later promotion from prison to the position of prime minister of his foreign land of Egypt.
\nFrom pain to gain was the story of Job. Bible described him, \u201cThere was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God and shunned evil. 2\u00a0<\/sup>And seven sons and three daughters were born to him. 3\u00a0<\/sup>Also, his possessions were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very large household, so that this man was the greatest of all the people of the East.<\/em>\u201d (Job 1:1-3) <\/em><\/strong>Job was right before God but wrong enough before Satan to ask for his life. Job was not beyond deliverance and protection of God from his pain in the hand of Satan. However, it was painful for Job when he lost everything to Satan but was gainful when God restored him back with abundance. It is written, \u201c<\/em>And the Lord <\/em>restored <\/em>Job\u2019s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the Lord gave <\/em>Job twice as much as he had before.\u201d (<\/em>Job 42:10) <\/em><\/strong>
\nMoses was raised in the palace of Pharaoh where abundance was in place. In his effort to run from Pharaoh\u2019s reach after killing an Egyptian on behalf of his Hebrew brother, he ended up in desert (at Midian). \u00a0God saw Moses\u2019 through his adversary but he was unknowingly in training as shepherd for God\u2019s people. Where you are going, you do not know. Today, you only know about where you are now. Are you paying attention to God?
\nCharacter was in place in the life of Moses. It is written, \u201cThen Moses was content to live with the man, and he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses.\u201d (Exodus 2:21)<\/em> 1Timothy 6:6<\/em><\/strong> buttressed the importance of contentment, \u201cNow godliness and contentment is great gain.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> With contentment, Moses was in place to engage the calling upon his life.<\/p>\n

Prayer for today:<\/strong> Ask God to add with you all it takes not to miss God\u2019s calling over your life.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
