TOPIC: SETBACK: A DIVINE SETUP IN DISGUISE
TEXT : Romans 8:28 - “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
The best of God is the exclusive reserve of the redeemed child of God but not without trials and challenges – James 1:2-6
The truth is that, God knew you and Has predestined you to be conformed to the image of His Son hence, you are called according to His purpose for your justification and glorification – Romans 8:29-30
However, every great glory is usually preceded by a story. No story, no glory. Buried in the stories are trials, persecution and pains that could be setbacks in the journey towards the fulfillment of glorious destiny.
The summation of our trials are part of the process that leads to the finished product, in this context, the glorious destiny ordained.
No matter what may appear as a setback along your part, always know that God allowed it for Him to be glorified and that the devil came too late because he is a stupid dummy.
As long as what you are currently going through is not a punishment for your wrongs, just count it all joy because it will surely result in testimony of praise – 1Peter 3:10-18, 4:12-16,
SETBACK IS NOT NEW
1. JESUS CHRIST – 1Cor 2:8-9
Looking at the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, a natural man with the princes of this world rushed into conclusion that it was all over for him but did not know that the cross was for the redemption of mankind and a spiritual vehicle to His glorification at the right Hand of God. The gruesome death of Christ was a divine setup for His elevation to glory – 1Cor 2:6-10
2. JOSEPH – Genesis 37:18-20, 26-28
Joseph was sold by his brethren into slavery and Portiphar’s wife fabricated falsehood against him which landed him into the prison not for what he did wrong, and the devil concluded that his destiny has been aborted, but unknown to them that, all his setbacks was a divine setup to put him on the global throne to fulfill destiny in a grand style.
HOW TO TURN YOUR SETBACKS INTO DIVINE SETUP FOR TESTIMONIES
1. Maintain your right standing with God irrespective of your ordeal – Proverbs 14:34, 1Peter 3:12-14
2. Refuse to be offended and readily forgive, the magnitude of the evil done to you notwithstanding. They may not deserve the forgiveness but you need the peace that comes with it to forge ahead – Genesis 45:4-7, 50:17-21, Isaiah 43:18-19, Matthew 18:21-35, 6:14-15, Mark 11:25-26
3. Refuse to let go of your vision or dream by depending on the Holy Spirit – Genesis 37:5-6,9-10,Proverbs 29:18, 1Cor 2:9-11, John 14:26, 16:13
4. Make the love of God and His Kingdom your number one priority – Matthew 6:33, 1Cor 2:9, Romans 8:28
5. Maintain the joy of the Lord always – Nehemiah 8:10, Isaiah 12:3, Philipians 4:4, Habakkuk 3:17-19. You are not sad because things are bad but things are bad because you are sad – Joel 1:12
In summary, against all odds, Joseph made it to the throne because what looks like a setback to the natural man ended up becoming a divine setup that catapulted him to the throne in a strange land because the scriptures cannot be broken – Romans 8:28, Genesis 41:9-14, 37-45
No matter what must have happened to you and what you are going through right now, it may look mysterious and cruel as long as you have a right standing with God, all the ordeals will end up becoming the ingredients to produce your testimony of praise after the order of Joseph because all things must work together for your good.
BE OF GOOD CHEER, THE WORD WORKS!!!
REMEMBER THAT JESUS IS COMING BACK SOON, WILL YOU BE RAPTURED?
Right now, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, I command the forces of the Spirit and the angels of His presence be released in your favour and make all things to work together for your good with testimonies that will silence all your enemies – Romans 8:28, Genesis 50:20, Esther 6:10-13
SEE YOU AT THE TOPMOST TOP.
REMAIN EVER BLESSED.
JESUS IS LORD.
