Genesis 37-3
My dear friends God always saves the best
for the last and the last for the best. As the universe together with the world
in it grows older so do its citizens thereof become younger, tender and frail
all the more.
And as we awaken to the awareness that the
entire universe is standing right in the middle of the last and oldest era of
the universe/ the oldest age of the world so do we embrace the best from the
lord God almighty.
The
scripture stipulates in Genesis 37:3 that the reason why Jacob loved Joseph
more than any of his other children is because Joseph was born to him in his
old age.
Its here and now that I would like to
inform you that there is no era in which God is about to showcase his love upon
the sons and daughters of the earth like in the era we find ourselves entangled
thereof as of now.
This
era apart from being the most glorious era of all time is also the era of God’s
love like no other. Simply because this era has been birthed from the womb of
the earth at the world and the universe’s old age, No wonder it says somewhere
in the scripture that in the last days(in these days) God will pour out his
spirit on all flesh.
One of the most effective medium by which
God expresses his love for an individual is by pouring out his spirit upon that
specific individual.
The spirit came upon Jesus in the river
Jordan under John the Baptist’s watch in the form of a dove as an expression of
God’s love towards Jesus whom he called his beloved son in whom he is well
pleased.
Jacob loved Joseph more than any of his
other children and in an effort to express his love for Joseph- Jacob had a
beautiful gift made for Joseph (a robe of many colors).
This expression indeed and in fact without
a doubt impressed Joseph but it evoked jealousy, envy, and hatred among the
brothers of Joseph.
The hatred was not stirred by the love that
Jacob had for Joseph but rather it was evoked by the fact that Jacob loved
Joseph more than any of his other children and he expressed his love for Joseph
publically and openly.
At this juncture, I would like to invite
you to carefully consider that the reason why your contemporaries along with
the world that you live thereof hate you that much is embedded in the simple
fact that God loves you so much that HE has gone ahead to even express his love
for you openly and publically by blessing you in the very presence of the
people who think that you are no good.
Indeed with the beautiful robe that Jacob made
for Joseph as a gift we have to understand that it was but just a robe but it
was a special robe being adorned with multiple colors, this being symbolic of
the assignment of Joseph that was to be in the near future, Multiple colors
mean multiple expressions, languages, cultures, nations and many dreams.
See
my dear friends Joseph’s robe of many colors was a special gift from
father-Jacob-which was an expression of the great love he had for Joseph but
because Jacob was a prophet his gift was also prophetic in a way that it spoke
to Joseph about the future that God had prepared for him.
Prophetically the gift meant that Joseph
was to bear the destiny of not only Israel but also the destiny of the
universe.
That through his special assignment whose
roots emanate from the special gift that was given to Joseph by the father, the
universe would be saved, sustained, and be able to overcome a drastic season of
its course designed to wipe its very own existence completely out of the way.
In other wards, its here that I need you to
carefully consider that the gift and assignment of God on your life is very
special because it’s the purpose and reason why the world is going to be
sustained against a drastic season whose purpose is to wipe the world away.
Joseph’s brothers hated him so much that
they could not say any kind word to him.
May be you’re like Joseph;
You’re like Joseph because the world shows
you no kindness at all.
Do
you not understand that your love for God and everything else about God is
shaped and defined by God’s love for you; See God loved you first before you ever
loved him.
Furthermore, do you not understand that the
world hates you because God loved you first even though you have only but
manifested upon the face of the earth while the earth finds itself at an old
age.
God loved you first before your haters even
ever came into existence.
So they can hate you all that they want but
you will be still smiling and standing because God loves you and he loved you
first. If God be for you who then can be against you, no weapon formed and
fashioned against you is going to be able to prosper.
No kind gesture do you ever receive from
the world because you are of a different kind. You are not like everybody else,
your gift is special, your assignment is also fundamentally special as a matter
of fact you are in a special era whose definition comes from your special
assignment. You are the reason why this era is such called special.
And
out of your very assignment is going to emerge a special generation and a
special people who will utterly do and achieve heroic wonders that will be
instrumental in shaping the last days of God’s glory.
At the time when Jacob made a special gift
for Joseph in form of a beautiful robe, robes did not just come all by
themselves but they came fashioned with a hood-head covering that played the
role of a prayer shawl and as well as a prayer mantle.
If
the robe was special it meant that the prayer mantle was also special. It’s
through prayer that man discovers the will of God for their life, the gift of
God on their life, the secret of God for their life, the grace, the mercy of
God for their life and its all through prayer that men and women see the
countenance of God’s glory for their life.
Just as Joseph had a special divine
covering on his life and so is God covering you with something special because
you are special and whatever God is covering you with is not just a covering
but its also a protective gear so that your haters will not be able to come to
you and even reach out to you in diabolic terms.
God is covering you and protecting you so
that you fulfill your special assignment upon the earth with no interruptions
and any body that comes into your space must get permission from God Almighty,
So that whoever is not fit to be in your life does not have to come into your
life.
You know someone is not fit to come into
your life when they cannot handle you appropriately and respectfully. When they
cannot be happy for you genuinely every now and then you go to the next level.
When they feel it important to call your accomplishments their own yet they
have not even contributed anything. You’re special and whoever can’t handle it
better step out of your life
