Rejection is Redirection

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Genesis 50:14-22

Worship song: Cry of The Broken

 


Meditation:

    The life of Joseph gives a testament to the sovereignty and grace of God to those who live faithfully and righteously. Joseph was hated and rejected by his brothers. He was sold to the Ismaelite slave traders, who then sold him to Potiphar. Nonetheless, the favor of the Lord was upon Joseph. God elevated him to power as part of His divine plan to save his people from famine. Joseph became Pharaoh's advisor and second in command. Jesus, our high priest, was also despised and rejected by men, yet it did not alter or cancel the significance of his ultimate mission. 

    The impact of human rejection can be heart-rending and deeply emotional, but it will not diminish our value in God's eyes. No matter what your circumstances may be, be reassured that all things work together for good for those who love God and who are called according to his purpose. Even in difficult times, God is near to those who are broken-hearted and will ultimately deliver them. God will use adversity, affliction, and rejection to get our attention so that we can hear his voice when he says, “This is the way; walk in it” (Isaiah 30:21).

Let us pray:

    Sovereign God, we want to give you thanks for all things, believing according to your promise that all things will work together for good for those who love you and are called according to your purpose. Abba Father, we are grateful that our circumstances and adversity do not determine our destiny. We give you thanks, Lord, for keeping a close watch over those who are broken in spirit. Thank you for hearing the cries of the righteous and for delivering them out of all troubles. We are grateful, Lord God, that none that trust you will be desolate. Lord, we denounce the spirit of rejection and declare freedom from any negative emotion that comes with it. Father, strengthen us and help us view rejection as a positive shift leading to better opportunity. Whenever we encounter rejection, may we, O God, see it as redirection to your sovereign plan in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Have a wonderful day.

    All things work together for good to them that love the Lord who are called according to His purpose. This is a perfect statement because not everything that looks good is good and it is through the leading of the Holy Spirit that we are kept from evil. When we fail in our discernment the Spirit of the Lord turn things around to our benefit. Even when we don't see it immediately, in the long run we will thank Him. He will not lead us astray, neither will He allow the devil to pluck us out of His hands.
    God got His hands on you and you will never suffer loss. God bless you richly and always. 🙏🙏🙏

During Difficult Moments

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Daniel 3:23-25 Worship song: Through The Fire   Meditation:      There will be seasons of pain, brokenness, heartache, and struggles. There will be times when our faith is tested and our hope is shattered. There will be times when we will encounter great tribulation. We will be despised by our fellow men, afflicted, rejected, condemned, and humiliated, but think it not strange concerning the fiery trials that will try you. The Hebrew boys' faith was tested and tried, but they remained resilient, fervent, and steadfast, trusting God and exercising faith while their oppressors maliciously schemed and plotted against them.       Don't think it strange when, as believers, these things happen; don't be alarmed or panic, but rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for when the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, you will be numbered among the faithful. Be cognizant of the fact that there is no trial or struggle that y...

The Death of The Wicked

By

Good morning Scripture reading: Ezekiel 33: 1-20 Praise song: Only a Look   Meditation:      All of us have an appointment with death, which we cannot cancel, for all must die. Nevertheless, there is a difference between the death of the sinner and the death of the redeemed. When the redeemed die, they will one day be resurrected to eternal life, but the ungodly to eternal torment in the lake of fire prepared for Satan and his cohorts of darkness. While Jesus was speaking to his disciples, he cautioned them not to fear those who destroy the body, but rather to fear him who can destroy both soul and body.        Those who die in Christ should not fear death, for death is not their final destiny. Those who die while meddling in their sin and wickedness, refusing to surrender to Christ, will receive the wrath of God as their reward. Jehovah God declares that he finds no joy, no pleasure in the death of the wicked, and no pleasure in the pun...

Seeking The Lost at Any Cost

By

Good morning Scripture reading: St. Luke 15:1-7 Worship song: Ninety and Nine   Meditation:      After an extensive search for a misplaced document that held significant importance, I experienced an overwhelming amount of frustration and anxiety. Finally, I decided to discontinue the search and reluctantly accepted the possibility of its loss, though I remain hopeful. Reflecting on this experience, I imagine the Lord's feelings when the ones he loved turn away from him and refuse to surrender. When we resist his call, we must remember we are precious and valuable in God's sight and his love is unconditional. His desire for us is for us to turn from our sinful ways and seek Him earnestly.       God takes no pleasure in the demise of the ungodly and does not wish for anyone to perish in their transgressions. Our shepherd, Jesus Christ, stands ready to guide us away from the path of destruction and lead us out of the wilderness of sin. God ...

An Influenced Mind

By
Image
Good morning Scripture reading: Romans 12:1-2 Worship song: Change My Heart Oh God   Meditation:      It is important to realize that our minds can be profoundly influenced by the performance, attitude, moral standards, conduct, actions, and spoken words of others, whether negatively or positively. When we allow ourselves to be persuaded by flattery, praise, and compliments, we risk letting our lives be fashioned by others' opinions instead of our convictions. We must remember that Satan is a master of manipulation, seeking to invade and control our thoughts to influence our actions. We must be able to discern and recognize deceptive influences.       When we focus our minds on Christ, the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will safeguard our minds. Our minds are influenced by what we gravitate to, so it is vital to keep our minds focused on God and his precepts. Be not deceived; evil communications corrupt good manners. If...
