(Third part)
Memory verse: (Psalms126:6) “ He who continually goes forth weeping bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him ”
Until the seed is sown it cannot produce a harvest. Your situation remains the same until you do some thing with what God has given you. Jesus taught:” give and it shall be given unto you ” (Lk6:38). When Joseph was in Potiphar’s house, he did not spend his time mourning and complaining, but he used the favor of God that was with him to do the work he was given. He used everything God had put in his life and worked diligently and skillfully. He gave the best with what he had and he excelled. And his promotion came. When he was in the prison, he used what God had given him, he had the gift of interpreting dreams, he cultivated it and he used it to interpret people’s dreams and it was this gift that opened a door for him into the palace of the king of Egypt. Stop focusing on what you don’t have. Stop crying about your situation. Do something to help other people with what God has given you. Children of Israel kept on complaining about the hard wilderness life but Joshua just focused on serving the man Moses, the servant of God.
Those who complained about problems only multiplied their problems that led to their disqualification from entering the promised land, but Joshua only focused on doing the will of God and he entered the promised land. Many Christians keep complaining all the time, complaining in prayers, complaining about the government, poverty, problems in the church, about their children, their husbands and wives, complaining about anything, but complaints never move God to bless you, it only irritates and angers God. No complainer stepped in the promised land. Complaining doesn’t bring God ‘s promises to pass. Peter said: “ silver and gold we don’t have but what we have is what we give to you, rise up and walk ”. They used what they had and later the bible says: “ those who had land, houses and property sold them and brought the money at the feet of the Apostles ”. You don’t have to sit idle because you don’t have a job. God never created us with jobs, it’s what you have that create the job. Doors are going to open when you put your seed in the ground. When you put your seed in the cupboard, it can’t breakthrough the cupboard, but put that seed in the soil, after few days it breaks up the ground and come forth. It’s time you break forth to your destiny.
Tomorrow’s word: ‘ Seeds needs rain to produce a harvest’
