YOUR WORD TOO WILL COME - Let Loose For Purpose Series 002
Psalms 105:17-20, KJV
"17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:19 Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him. 20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free."
At 44, Bassirou Diomaye Faye was elected Senegal's new president just barely two weeks after his release from prison. As such, his story relates with Joseph's as he goes from prison to palace. This moment of historical victory came during the March 24th 2024 presidential election held in Senegal, West Africa where night turned into day for this fated politician who contested instead of Ousmane Sonko (the party founder and leader who was disqualified and imprisoned also due to some charges). As such, we can't deny that something unusual pinnacles itself over this just concluded election even as an opposition party beats the incumbent government hands down. What a democratic system conducted in all honesty that other world nations, especially the giant of Africa should learn from.
Today, the Lord has come with bags of words for somebody. You might have been in a strait - a house too narrow to turn to the left or right let alone accommodating you freely by availing you all your intentions and affections. Like Joseph and this political figure brought us, you might have been shut in darkness and left to count the ceiling in loneliness. You probably have no hope of salvation or any form of deliverance from any quarters. Alas, things can change in a twinkle when your word comes! Immediately, your trial will be over and your release will be secured. I declare over you: over a child of destiny preordained for a march to the palace that your word shall not tarry but come.
In my entire life, I've never faced a moment of darkness and rejection than when I badly needed school fees during my undergraduate days in the university. I would have forfeited my studentship if I had not paid duly on time. This was in 2014 when a repeat of the same event I had somehow survived in 2013 came challenging me again. Everywhere I turned, no salvation was at sight. I called unto those I knew but I was shut out. My mother (the one left of my parents) was helpless. She could only weep and weep while I could only pray and pray; hope and hope. Eventually, I saw the Bearer of light, the Fourth Man in the fire, the One from whom all good gifts and precious gifts stem from coming for me. Unknowingly to me, He had put my case in someone's mind. From this quarters that God solely could have raised help, my help came without reproach or a string ever attached. What a deliverance at an hour when I shivered. I breathed relief and was relaxed. Joseph must have gotten here. Diomaye Faye himself might have gotten here. A place where upon looking at the dark sky, one couldn't even see a star heralding hope. Such a moment teaches us to put our trust in God who alone surpasses all odds and could do exceedingly beyond expectation or imagination.
I'll like you to know that my help just didn't arrive that day. Before the physical help arrived, my word came first of all. A word was issued concerning me in the spirit realm that this one must not be let down. He must rather be borne up on angels' hands/wings. It is this same word that first found release and operation in the spirit realm that moved Pharaoh to loose Joseph from the prison. His time came for a forward match and no devil could hold him back in jail! Don't forget that Naphtali is a hind let loose: bearing goodly words, fawns or products fitting the liberty availed him. In the same manner, when Joseph's word arrives and was sent for and loosed from where he was bound, it means a season has ended over him while another of a new chapter and clean slate is starting for him. If Joseph was never loosen and brought to the palace, who would have tasted of his giftedness and be indebted to God for the extents to which he brought deliverance to Egypt. We wouldn't have known that 'slave boy' was loaded with ingenuity to save a nation.
Verse 19 says, "until the time that his word came: the word of the Lord tried him." I pray that you won't fail tests before your word comes. Some fell apart, made a shipwreck of their faith, morals, belief and value system before their word came. They couldn't exercise enough patience to inherit the promise and let prophecy find rest on them. You too like Joseph, Diomaye or myself may need to experience a season in ward before your word comes. You may need to be chained in darkness, forgotten and forsaken by others until your salvation arrives. Some are there right now. They can relate. God has a purpose for that trial or test. It's to process you and turn you out rightly so that you'll learn mercy and know how to behave in humility when you gain the scepter of office. But if anyone still despises this discipline and moulding work of God but to live in defiance to justice and fairness once chosen, God shall surely humble him.
Brethren, I am sent to make an announcement. Currently with open eyes, I'm seeing myself on a tower or let's say a hill. From there I'm proclaiming the word of the Lord over you that says, "your word will come!" When it does eventually, wherever you have been tied even at the backside of the desert, soonest you'll see a hand move you from oblivion into public gaze. Your word will come. I know that's what you've been waiting for. God Himself knows that you can do nothing or manifest nothing except this word comes. As such, standing on Christ the solid Rock, I declare, let your word come. Wherever your salvation, provision, time and chance, seasonal help or joy might have been suspended and hung, let it be loosen now to supply you its glory and strength. I declare, receive your word. Let this dark season pass over you. You're receiving deliverance and troops of help for your manifestation now. A transition is taking place. I'm seeing a change of seat. The palace and its grandeur are calling you to come. The night is over; the day is here. Weeping which has for long besets you is being exchanged for dancing now. Here's your joy. I say, receive it under this heavy anointing. You're freed! You're loosen to go into the distance and take your place amidst the great and strong. Welcome to the palace of honourable life, responsibility and expectation.
PRAYER: Father, thank you for my moment of darkness that you've rolled away. Joy has come with this morning. I'm in a new day.
