TOPIC: ADVANCING THROUGH ADVERSITY

Text: Psalms 31:7, 8, 15, 20 – 24; Genesis 37:23 – 28; 39:1 – 4, 7 – 20; Psalms 105:17 – 21; Genesis 45:5 – 8, 26 – 28; Job 1:1, 8 – 12, 20 – 22; 2:1; 17:9; 19:25; 29:14; 31;1; 42:

The end of your tunnel is very near, the end of your darkness is very near.

The brethren of Joseph were after his dreams, the promises if God upon his life. They sold him to Egypt to see what will become of his dreams. “and the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man” even in a strange land. The temptation will come to fall, as it came to Joseph through his master’s wife. Like he overcame so shall we.

There are people in the Bible that lived victorious lives everyday of their lives, like Joseph. That grace is coming upon you.

When Joseph ran away from the temptation of Potiphar’s wife, she concocted a lie and presented it to her husband. As soon as the man heard his wife’s false report, his anger was kindled and he threw Joseph in prison. Everything seems to be going against Joseph, but progress was going to come out of that adversity.

At the appointed time, Joseph was loosed. There is an appointed time for your freedom, and it is now.

Eventually, there was famine in the whole land, and the only place where there was food was where Joseph was ruler. His brethren had to go there to buy food. He made it clear to them that God was the one Who sent them to be a deliverance to them. Every negative thing in your life is turned into positive. The Lord is looking at your future and He is going to promote you beyond your expectations.

There is advance despite the adversity.

We are not saying advance in adversity. No. the characters we are talking about had no problem. Adversity came later, and they went through it. Whatever adversity comes to you, you will go through it and advance in Jesus name!

Throughout the period of adversity, don’t sin against God.

When the adversity increased, Job’s wife told him to curse God and die. What Job was passing through wasn’t the worst that could happen. The worst that can happen is meeting God unprepared.

Eventually, the end of adversity came. Job got double of all he lost.

Double blessing and provision is coming to you life in Jesus name!

Amen!
