In the Process of Purpose
As 2011 came to a close, preachers everywhere shared the same message, 2012 was the year of deliverance. For some this happened early, but for many we are still waiting. I want to encourage you not to give up, you have come to far to give up now. I know it would be so easy to call the year based on what things may look like, but don't. If things are good, stay on course don't loose focus because things will go from good to great if you can just stay focused. Maybe you are like me and things have been a roller coaster, well it's more important that you don't give up. You see on Wednesday, when I was riding home thanking God for the day, He gave me this, it's the 3rd day of the first month of last 3 months in this year, you received blessings that were derivatives of 3. My reply was, " yes, I got it" and I did have it. If you haven't gotten to where I am here it is 3 is Trinity- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Most days, I send out an inspirational message, and Thursday, it basically said that many were discouraged about where they were this year, as I said above if you are good you may be disappointed because based on what was preached, prophesied and told to you, you should be better. If your world is spinning out of control then you, for sure are wondering where is the deliverance I was supposed to be experiencing? Well, I encouraged them not to give up because if God could show up on Calvary in the way He did in 3 days, I can't begin to even think of all He can do with 3 months. So it's going to take faith, but I pray you stand on His word and keep the faith. God being God, gave me an almost immediate confirmation. I went to Bible Study and I missed the scripture and topic, but pastor was teaching on the dream and trusting the dream. He shared that often once you have had the dream which is a peep into your future, as life would have it your world starts to spin out of control, but if we stay focused and don't give up we will see it come to pass.
Later I watched Bible Study on streaming and pastor was teaching from Genesis 37:1-7, this passage talks about Joseph's dream and how after he had the dream shared the dream his world was turned completely upside down. He was thrown in a pit and left for dead, he ended up in the palace it looked like things were turning around, oh but wait,he was set up and thrown in prison. Yes things were up and down for Joseph but can I share with you, it was all a part of the plan. For those of us who God communicates with in dreams we have to know that it's a preview, but we have to go through the process to get to the purpose.
Friday, I encouraged my group to stay encouraged and not give up. I explained exactly where we are in the process of purpose. I am sure you have felt it, the change in the atmosphere that is because change is taking place and I can assure you the change is going to be a blessing, even though for some it may look dim, don't despise what it looks like this process is getting you ready for your purpose.
You lost the job, God has a better one, you lost a love one, God knew best, your finances are in a mess, God has that too. They left you, set you up, slandered your name, tried to make others think you had lost your mind. Well count it all joy, because if they knew where God was taking you, they'd loose their minds. In fact they will soon see as long as you keep walking in the assignment of your process to get to your purpose.
I leave you with these points shared by my pastor: Don't loose sight of your dream, don't loose your drive(stay focused),make a decision to do the right thing,don't give up, don't repay evil for evil, and finally let it go (whatever happened after the dream let it go). If you hold on to it, it could cause you to delay getting your blessings, so move on where it's needed, forgive when needed and stay focused.
I wish you countless blessings and if you stay focused, you too can end up like Joseph. From the pit to palace, from the palace to prison, from prison to the purpose.
