"It's Not The Clothes"

When Joseph reached his brothers, they ripped off the fancy coat he was wearing, grabbed him, and threw him into a cistern.The cistern was dry; there wasn’t any water in it. Then they sat down to eat their supper....

Genesis 37:23‭-‬27 MSG

They had the nerve to sit down  and eat supper after physically assaulting their brother; as if, they had done nothing wrong.

I think it's safe to say...At this point, Joseph's brothers had no conscience. Hate had taken over their mind, jealousy had completely consumed  them.

So much so, that they actually thought, if they got rid of the fancy coat Joseph was always wearing that would somehow stop the favor the Father had placed on his life.

SOMEBODY right now....

There are people who hate the way you dress. They are jealous of the fancy clothes you wear. They think that you think, you are more than them because of the way you dress.

Little do they know...It's not the clothes. You could show up wearing jeans & a t-shirt every day and still be just as favored in the eyes of the Lord.

You see, The bible says, Israel loved Joseph more than any of his other sons, BECAUSE he had been born to him in his old age....

Genesis 37:3 NIV

Think About It: 

Any one of them could have been born when Joseph was born, but GOD chose him, positioned him at birth to be the one favored, to be "the favorite".

So, If you reading this, stop apologizing, stop feeling like you have to apologize for being favored, for being "the favorite" in the family etc.

You are right where God positioned you. Let them have the clothes, tell them where you shop, take them shopping, if need be, but They Will NEVER BE YOU.

Why? Because what they're looking to obtain is not in the clothes (It's Not ON YOU) and they certainly won't receive the  favor (they desire) from the Lord by hating on you, by being jealous of you, by trying to destroy you.

Again, They Will NEVER BE YOU. No matter how hard they try. Eventually, Their own stupidity is going to tire them out both physically & mentally. 

Beloved, You Got THIS!!

Until Next Sunday.

"The Real Gift Giver"

After they had gone, Joseph had another dream. An angel of the Lord appeared to him and said, “Get up now and flee to Egypt. Take Mary and the little child and stay there until I tell you to leave, for Herod intends to search for the child to kill him.” So that very night he got up and took Jesus and his mother and made their escape to Egypt and remained there until Herod died.

Matthew 2:13‭-‬15 TPT

Beloved, Pay close attention to the dreams you've been having lately...Because everything in this season is not jolly, filled with love or mistletoe kisses.

Don't miss what God is trying to tell you in this season...Don't be so focused on buying gifts (you can't afford) that you miss what the real gift giver is trying to tell you.

God so loved the world that HE GAVE His only begotten Son....

John 3:16 KJV

So, That makes Him the real gift giver 🎁 and one of the ways He speaks is through dreams according to Job 33:15 CEV.

A lot of times, Dreams are to warn us of the devil's devices - what he wants to do, is doing or will do (if given the opportunity).

Therefore, I'm telling you to not just wraps gifts, but PRAY and seek to unwrap the revelations that are there in your dreams....What is God saying specifically to you and your family?

And like Joseph be quick to obey. Just think, If Joseph had not been paying attention to his dream life...What could have possibly happened to his family.

Weapons form but they don't prosper...Not when you're praying, paying attention and you are ready & willing to be obedient in any season. Amen!!

Isaiah 54:17 NKJ

Until Next Sunday.

"You're Close"

While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?”

Mark 5:35 NIV

Just when Jairus was close to receiving the miracle he needed for his daughter...The devil used people from his own house to be a distraction, to bring him the worst news possible.

SOMEBODY: You're close to your miracle now...That's why things around you have gotten worse; but don't let that or them be a distraction to your faith.

You see, Some around you are asking, "Why?" Why bother the teacher anymore? In other words, Why do you even pray? Why bother?  Why are you still taking time out of your day to be close to GOD, to pray to Him when nothing is changing, things for you have actually gotten worse?

1. They can't see.

2. They don't know the meaning of being faithful. 

The bible tells us to:

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

Romans 12:12 NIV

So, BELOVED, Do me a favor...Ignore them. You're close, too close to your miracle to let them distract you, to let them alter what you have been doing all this time.

Therefore, I encourage you to continue doing what the bible says, Be faithful in prayer...Keep on coming to Him faithfully in prayer. Make your prayer time your "daily date" time with the Father.

If married couples can have date night...Why can't you have a "daily date" time with the Father?

Aside from that, be patient in affliction....Be patient in the midst of what you're going through because you're miracle is close. You're close to seeing what you've been asking GOD for. Don't be distracted, not now, you're too close.

Until Wednesday (Dec. 21)

"Be Where You Are Called"

When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and thought, “Surely the Lord’s anointed stands here before the Lord.” But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him...

1 Samuel 16:6‭-‬7 NIV

Think about it: 

What if God had not rejected Eliab, but allowed Samuel to anoint him the next king (instead of David)  just based on looks? Eliab would have been placed in a position he wasn't prepared for, working a job (like many of you) that inwardly had him miserable. Why? BECAUSE HE'S OUT OF PLACE.

Beloved, It's so important you be where God called you, because the devil is a legalist-meaning if he knows he has a legal right to what he's saying, what he's doing he will continue.

He will continue to use your co-workers against you, continue to use your boss against you because you are out of place and he knows it.

You can't just accept the 1st job offered to you. Do so, and you will live to regret it.

Samuel, even though, he was a prophet couldn't see that Eliab was not the right fit for the position of king. If God hadn't spoke up and stopped him....

Samuel would have anointed Eliab for a job he wasn't prepared to handle just because he looked the part.

So, What am I saying to you today?...Don't let nobody put you in a position you can't handle and be so kind, as to not, do it to yourself either.

Always consult GOD and NOT Man before making any major moves, before making any major decisions. He knows what's best for you and He is THE ONE who will teach you how to profit according to Isaiah 48:17 NKJ & NIV

God will teach you how to profit, you just be where He called you.

Stop worrying about who got that position and why....They make that job look easy because that's where THEY BELONG. Find out...Ask GOD where you belong. Your gift is still capable of making room for you.

Proverbs 18:16 NKJ

"Forgive NOW!!"

When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left. Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.

Luke 23:33‭-‬34 NKJV 

When they came to the place called the Skull- another name for skull would be cranium or head. That's when they crucified Jesus...That's when they nailed Him to The Cross. It was a mental attack that turned physical.

But it was from there, in the midst of mental & physical suffering that Jesus asked forgiveness for those WHO HAD DONE THIS TO HIM, even though in that moment they were casting lots (gambling) to see who would get the very clothes He had on, leaving Him NAKED, violated.  

They violated Jesus by exposing the private parts of his body for all to see...And if you have ever been abused, then you know the humiliation,  the shame.

But still, Jesus asked that they be forgiven while He was still on The Cross able to feel EVERY THING they had done to Him. He didn't wait until the pain had subsided, or some time had passed.

No, Jesus asked that they be forgiven EVEN THOUGH, HE KNEW they would still do Him wrong. 

BELOVED,  It's time we were more like Jesus...It's time we stopped waiting to see if that person actually has changed and forgive them EVEN THOUGH THE CROSS- the pain of what they did is still visible. 

God forgave us when we were STILL sinners, STILL His enemies. See Rom 5:6-8 (NCV) According to Philip 3:18 AMP: When we reject or oppose His way of salvation, we are His enemies. 

So, If God could forgive us, knowing they we were His enemies and Jesus  ask forgiveness for those who had wronged him....Why can't we have mercy on those who have hurt us?

Until Next Sunday.
