Good morning brothers and sisters......... TODAY Is SUNDAY
NOVEMBER 2018 DAY 4 OF ODM devotional booklet for Champions......
TOPIC: HE DID HIS DESTINY FROM THE DREAMER!
(GENESIS 48:8-20; ISAIAH 49:23).
A very young girl was traveling in a train with the father when she suddenly asked him, “Father, what is sexsin?” The father turned to look at her but she said nothing. At last he stood up, lifted his heavy traveling luggage case off the upper deck and set it on the floor. He then said: “Will you carry it off the ground please?” She stood up and grabbed it only to discover that IT WAS TOO HEAVY FOR HER! The luggage was filled with watches and spare parts that he ( the father) had purchased that morning. Then the father said to her: “Such is life! It would be a wicked father who would ask his little girl to carry a load. It’s the same way with knowledge.
Some knowledge is too heavy for children. When you are older and stronger, you can bear it. For now, you must trust me to carry it for you. Do forget that question till then.” So true! Indeed, the Holy Ghost wants you to know that there are many things the LORD will NOT show you now! There are many things He will not even show to His prophets! Elisha did not know that the child of the Shunammite woman would die. 2 Kings 4:27: “………And the man of God said, ‘Let her alone; for her soul is vexed within her: and the LORD hath hit it from me, and hath not told me.” God will not show you everything concerning yourself or others! That is what makes Him GOD!
He is ALL-WISE and He expects you to LOOK UP TO HIM by faith/ trust concerning what you don’t know. Also, Gen. 48:17 says: “And when Joseph was that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father’s hand, to remove it from Ephraim’s head unto Manasseh’s head.” Joseph thought his father was making a mistake, but his act was the mistake!
Oh, Joseph the dreamer and the interpreter of dreams! But he could not interpret the destinies of his own children because the LORD hid it from him! Don’t forget that as a young man, the LORD showed him when his family bowed to him, but that same God did not show him the battle in Potiphar’s house or his journey to prison!
No MATTER HOW 2018 HAS BEEN, REFUSE TO QUIT TRUSTING GOD NOW! You may not understand or KNOW all the answers to some battles now! Hold on! Trust Him! Lookup! Dig in! You will never, never be ashamed! Amen!
Still give out this 4th quarter ODM copy to souls! I see NEW GRACE coming on you for every copy given out!
PRAYER POINTS: Take a song of worship to God.
1. In your own words, pray about today’s word as led.
2. LORD, thank you for this year! I may not understand every event but I TRUST YOU! Still pray for November!
3. Pray Psalm 31:1 seriously- “In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in Thy righteousness” (Pray it seriously).
