EVERYTHING IS WORKING FOR YOUR GOOD
‘’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.’’ Genesis 50:20 (KJV)
You must always walk with the mentality of a person who knows that all things work together for good to them who love God and are called according to His purpose. Always wake up in the morning and expect only good to happen to you. Everything around you may not look good, but the truth however is that He daily loads you with benefits. You must take your portion of the benefits and create your day with your mouth. Speak what you want to see and it will come to pass. Refuse to cancel yourself out in spite of what the enemy throws at you knowing that head or tail, you would win.
Apostle Paul says: ’’For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.’’ (2 Corinthians 4:16 KJV). He goes on to say in verses 17-18: ‘’for our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.’’
Beloved, God’s word is not void of power; there is a glory that God has prepared for you. It may be tough out there in the world, but for you it will be different. God has a million ways of turning things around for your good. What looks like a setback to you right now has the capacity to work together for your good, because you are called of God. Joseph’s brothers sold him out to slavery but little did they know that he was the same person God was going to use in the future to preserve their lives. Trust God today to turn things around for you.
