POSSESSION YOUR POSSESSION 4

  TRUST THE PROCESS

You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will, you will receive what he has promised.

                                               Hebrew 10:36

It is so easy for humans to think because we have yielded ,  we won't go through the process. Abraham obeyed God and still went through the process. The Children of Israel had to go through the process ( Proverbs 3:5). The process makes you, it moulds you, even after a maize has been sowed and it's time of harvest. It still goes through the process. The farmer would have to scale off all that is not needed. That's the same way with God. God would never give a man what would destroy him  but rather he would take him through the process. This process would require shedding of all that is not of God. The process is never easy but in trusting God you come out stronger.

Abraham was called the father of all nations ( Genesis 17:4), though when he got the promise, to man that seemed impossible but he trusted in the Lord. Even after the promise God required of him to give his only son as a sacrificial offering. Without questioning God, he trusted in him who has called him Father of all nations. Abraham trusted that he that had started the good work would surely bring it to completion (Phillipian 1:6). Are you already on your way to possessing your possession but rather than getting better it kept looking like fire to the frying pan, remember Joseph moved from the Potiphar’s house to the prison.

Joseph saw in his dream that he would possess his possession, though his brothers meant it all for evil but God turned it around for good (Romans 8:28).

                     WHY THE PROCESS

1. GOD WANT US TO THRIVE & NOT JUST LIVE TO SURVIVE:

These started from ages Esau sold his birthright to Jacob because he only desired to live to survive. Looking at the three temptations all the devil wanted was for Jesus to live to survive but he chose to endure the cross because of the glory set ahead of him ( Hebrew 12:2)

God takes us through the process in order for us not just to live to survive but rather live to thrive. Hence, you are called to thrive.

2. THE PROCESS MOULDS, SHAPES AND SHARPEN US

God knew that humans naturally love to be in their comfort zone. Jonah decided not to go to Nineveh because he was afraid of leaving his comfort zone. Jonah entrapped in the belly of whale moulded, shaped and sharpened him.

Joseph was a proud and an arrogant young boy, we could see that going through the process shaped him.

3. THE PROCESS KEEPS US STRONGER

Jesus said, while on this earth we would go through trials and tribulations but in all we are already a conqueror ( Romans 8:37). God is ever aware of the evil of the world and still he chose you because he knows that though you are in this world, you are never of this world. God has placed the measure of strength needed in all man to bring glory to him.

Light shines only in the midst of darkness. You are a light and God so desires that you lighten up your world,  for in the midst of the waging storm comes his stillness. Jesus endured the cross because of the glory set ahead of him.

ME- WHAT CROSS ARE YOU ENDURING ON YOUR WAY TO POSSESSING YOUR POSSESSION?
