The women who’s wombs were closed were the women who later carried and birthed the children who would pass on God’s mighty promise.
From Sarah to Rebekah to Rachel , all their wombs were closed before they were able to conceive, great men of God.
The fact that the door to God’s plans and purpose seems unopened yet doesn’t mean you should give up. The enemy will try and frustrate you through a situation that doesn’t seem to turned around , so you can give up. He will even use people to tell you its not going to work so give up. But the reason it looks so tough is because there’s something great coming out of it. So don’t give up now, hold on. Put your focus on God, pray and seek His face. Take your mind of the problem and put your mind on God. There’s something great coming out of it that’s why the road is so narrow.
So whatever it is that you are facing HOLD ON. He can do exceedingly abundantly more than you can ask or think. Ephesians 3:20 Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or imagine.

When you focus so much on how things look now, you loose sight of what’s coming ahead. Expect a great future, even if things don’t seem bright now. Expect a good job even if you havn’t recieved the letter saying yes. Expect that God will bring the right person into your life.
Jeremiah 29:11 For I am conscious of my thoughts about you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you hope at the end.

God himself has confirmed that He will give you hope in the end. That no matter what is happening the end will be good. So why expect any other end? That no matter when its going to happen or how its going to happen you will smile at the end. Its not the fastest runner at the beginning of the race which matters, its who is the first to cross the finish line. And God is saying “I know your finish line”. I know your future, I will cross the finish line with you, and you will finish well”. So if you just hold on you will see yourself cross the finish line and rejoice.
And when you feel like giving up, or feel down , do the opposite of how you feel. Worship and praise God for what He is about to do. This life may seem like one battle after another, but Jesus said John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” When you haven’t heard a response yet doesn’t mean give up. When you knock a door and its not opened doesn’t mean give up. When you haven’t seen a turn around yet doesn’t mean give up. A door can be opened at anytime, but God chooses the right season to open that door.
Sometimes before something great is about to be birthed, there seems to be pain and discomfort and problems from nowhere. But that’s to distract you of the road you walking with God. That’s to distract you of the great thing that’s about to be birthed. The joy of what you will reap will be so much greater than the pain you’ve been through, if you will just hold on.
Take one day at a time and be assured that everything will work out for your good.

God will give you an Expected end

In Genesis 45
Joseph makes it known to His brothers who He was, and does not blame them for selling him or trying to kill him.
After all that happened to him, everything started to make sense.
He understood the reason he had to to be a slave, a servant and a prisoner. And this was the reasont “God sent him before His family to preserve life”
Joseph did not know from the beginning the reason why he was sold as a slave. He did not understand why he had to be away from his family. He did not understand why oneday he was in his fathers house and the next day a servant in an unknown land.
At the beginning it seemed very obvious that his brothers were the reason to blame for all he went through.
But at the end everything made sense and this is the reason why he went through all he went through
Genesis 45:7
And God sent me before you to preserve a prosperity for you in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance

Sometimes certain situations you may find yourself in just don’t make sense at the beginning. You may be thinking but “I did not do anything to go through this struggle”. I prayed, I worshipped, I cried out but things just don’t add up.
But everything will make sense in the end. Every trial and every struggle will make sense in the end. You may not understand why you are going through that situation, but trust that God knows and has a much better plan ahead. That what you are going through will not be a waste of time. That God has a plan for your life. Don’t let people’s opinion make you give up. Your future is not based on people’s opinion over your life. Your future is based on almighty God’s opinion who is omniscient. Yes people will tell you someone went through exactly what you went through and didn’t make it, so you should give up. But don’t give up, God still has a plan. Nothing is impossible for God. Keep your eyes on God not on people.
Just like Joseph, you may not understand why life has been like that for you, you may not understand why it seems to be working all out for people around you but you, you may not understand why there hasn’t been answers to questions.
But it will all make sense in the end.

God has it all planned out. But you have to trust Him. Trust that because He knows the end from the beginning He’s got you.
Even though His brothers were envious of Joseph because of how his dreams looked. It wasn’t all about Joseph in the end, it wasn’t to make Joseph greater than all the people on the earth.God’s plan was to use Joseph to save the lifes of people. To preserve the prosperity on the earth. It all made sense to Joseph that there was nobody to blame. Not his brothers, not the things he went through, not God.
That everything He went through was for a reason. If you just hold on when life gets tough. If you just hold on to God, commit your ways to him. Without trying to figure everything out yourself but laying everything out at His feet , He will figure everything out for you. Hold on knowing that no matter what God’s got a plan. You will live to see the reason why you went through what you went through.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

Waiting on the Dream and been patient in tough times

Waiting on the dream and been patient in tough times

The dreams God revealed to joseph happened exactly as he dreamt. This is the dream Joseph had and told his brothers before they sold him into slavery.
Genesis 37:9 Then He dreamed still another dream and told it to His brothers, and said, “Look I have dreamed another dream. And this time, the sun, the moon, and the eleven stars bowed down to me.
And this is the dream coming to pass.
Genesis 42:6
Now Joseph was governor over the land; and it was he who sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph’s brothers came and bowed before Him with their faces to the earth.
The dream did not come from Joseph., the dream came from God. Who is the author and creator of the universe, so why would it not come to pass?
The only way the dream will not happen is if we don’t accept and believe the dream. If God has revealed a dream to you , nobody can stop that dream, the only person that can stop the dream is you.
If we continue to walk with God and in obedience with Him.
Joseph was able to stand the trials and temptations and test before seeing His dream come true.
1. He did not give in to portiphars wife, He feared God.
2. He was able to stand during the tough times in prison. He was able to make the best out of His circumstance in prison.He served in prison. Are we still spending time with God in the tough times? Are we still reading His word? Are we still living in obedience in tough times? Do we stilll believe we have hope in tough times with God? Do we still treat people right?
3 . Joseph was patient in prison. Are we patient with God to open a door himself and not open our own doors? When the kings butler had a dream and Joseph interpreted the dream,Joseph told him to remember him and mention him to pharaoh so He can get him out of prison.

But the butler forgot Joseph. Now look at this… In God’s own time and with God’s mighty hand Joseph came out of prison, and he wasn’t just released. He was released to be king.
Now if Joseph had fought his own way out and the butler had told the king earlier about Joseph when Joseph told him to, He would have been released as the same ordinary man.

Sometimes there is a reason why your breakthrough can take so long. There is a reason why your dreams haven’t come to pass yet. There is a reason your prayers haven’t been answered yet. Be patient. Wait on God. Because God himself will cause mountains to move on your behalf. God doesn’t want you to come out of your breakthrough the same as you are now. He wants you to come out a king, a queen , a publisher, a singer, a mighty man and mighty woman. When we are patient for God to move in His time, our blessing will be bigger. But when we are inpatient and figure things on our own, nothing great comes out of it. So not seeing your dreams coming to pass now and your breakthrough now doesn’t mean God has neglected you or its not going to happen. Something great has to come out of all the crying and the praying and the worshiping and the patience you’ve had. Something great will come out of the obedience and commitment to God. Your time has not been wasted.
He hath made everything beautiful in His time. ( Ecclesiastes 3:11)

God wants to release you greater than what you were prior to your difficulties, so be patient.
Isaiah 40:31 31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

God doesn’t just want your circumstance to change, He wants you to be the change. He is building a warrior out of you through the tough times, He is building a king,a soldier through the tough times.
God built Joseph as a governor during the tough times in prison. He learnt to become the future governor in the tough times in prison. Lets continue to commit ourselves and seek God through every tough season so He can build as to be His warriors.

The gift of life.

We only have one life. We don’t live forever. We don’t choose when to come and when to go. Every day is precious. Not everybody woke up today. There are people who planned to do so much today and didn’t wake up today.
Sometimes we allow the treasure of living to be consumed by our circumstances. As though we will be here forever. We focus so much on making it through rather than walking through with God. We worry so much on what tomorrow brings that we forget the one who brings tomorrow. The future is in almighty God’s hand. He makes the new day, He gives the breath of life and He takes it away. We allow our minds to ponder on how things are gonna work, rather than putting our minds on the one who makes all things work. We focus on fears that will never happen rather than focusing on the almighty father who everything is afraid of. Like we wake ourselves up, no we don’t. Life is a gift. A gift is something from the heart. Your Life is a gift from God’s heart, so use it wisely. The giver gives the gift because He knows that you will appreciate the gift. Appreciate yourself you are a gift from God. There is love behind the intention of a gift, God loves you thats why He created you.
A good gift is something good enough for the giver to use. You are good enough for God to use you no matter who you are.
