Incredible Stories Behind Glories
Text: Genesis 50:20
“But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.”
Message
Sun Tzu the traditionally credited author of “The Art of War”, an influential work of military strategy that has affected both Western and East Asian philosophy and military thought, revered in Chinese and East Asian culture as a legendary historical and military figure had many quotes to his credit. Some of the quotes have biblical support, and I let you have some now, which I think are very much of impacts on our topic – the incredible stories behind the glory.
“However desperate the situation and circumstances, don’t despair.”
“When there is everything to fear, be unafraid.”
“When surrounded by dangers, fear none of them.”
“When without resources, depend on resourcefulness.”
“When surprised, take the enemy by surprise.”
One intrinsic issue runs through the selected quotes. It is that there will always be incredible stories behind every glory. If in doubt reread Joseph journey from his dream that got him into trouble right in his fathers house to the pit, being a slave boy, becoming a house boy in Portiphar house, the lie of Portiphar’s wife which landed Joseph in prison before he final became a Prime Minister.
Yes, you will end as planned by God but understand and trust the process-always incredible stories before the glory. Not even Jesus jumped this!
The incredible stories never will be palatable. You will come under attacks, fear, and distrust. You will be hurt and hunted. But the important thing is you will end as planned by God if you trust him all the way to deliver on his promise.
Youruba’s would say, “Iya oje e ologbon, tani tisa re” literally transiliterated in English to mean, “A general is only known by his scar” and better, “It is in surffering, we are taught life lesson.”
You can not escape the bends and rough edges of life that are in your stories before your glory is made manifest. It is your different from others, especially prepared tea, and you alone must drink it
Remember that God said it, and I heard him before embarking g on the journey is no guarantee against storm. What is guaranteed is that the storm will not overtake Jesus. With Jesus, you are absolutely safe and saved. Should you be in doubt, ask and read how he still the storm for the disciple, as the Lord over all.
Remember, life is in code. The story is the code. You find the solution key to the code by trusting God all the way. Just like a key lies dormant until it finds its assigned door, your talents, skills, and passions are waiting for the right opportunity to unlock your true potential!
Your case will not be impossible in God’s hand. Just believe, commit, and trust him. God bless and take you to your land of glory earlier than you expected in Jesus’ name.
Amen.
Don’t lose hope. Don’t give up! Your door is out there, and when you find it, you’ll unlock a world of possibilities and reach your divine goal.
Keep searching, keep pushing, and most importantly, keep believing! You will surely succeed and your glory be made manifest to all.
