SENT TO PRESERVE LIFE

READ Psalm 105

Psalm 105:17,KJV

"HE SENT a man BEFORE them,even Joseph,who was sold for a servant."

God in His infinite mercy will not leave us comfortless. He always plans ahead because He has foresight. Israel is the beloved, covenant nation of God. They have special spot in God's heart. God is always committed to keeping them in existence. Israel/Jews had faced terrible attacks and persecutions down the line of history but they have emerged survivor and not a victim. God always has a strategy for keeping them continuous. This is one we're studying.

Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers so they might terminate his dreams. However, it wasn't men that sent Joseph there but God who was working out His will. God only used his brothers as the vehicle to hasten him into this special assignment or destiny. In Gen. 45:5-7, Joseph who had knew why he came to Egypt comforted his brothers not to be grieved for selling him off but to see the purpose behind it. Permit me to say, it was God who gave Joseph off to be sold that the Israelites might not perish by the reason of the 7 years famine to come. Everything was God's doing all along! Off course, that made it marvellous or baffling!

Joseph kept telling them, I was sent here to preserve and keep a remnant for Israel. "God made it so and had made me even a father to Pharaoh. I have a position of influence to preserve you by providing food  for you until this famine is lifted. This is why I was sent here" [Paraphrased].

Though his life was hard as a pioneer who went and cleared the path for others to have a stress free journey; he didn't take it for granted or ignore his calling. Have you asked why you are first amidst many brethren. It's because the call of a pioneer, saviour and care-giver is placed on you. Why would God send you ahead of others and specifically anoint you for success if not for you to preserve lives with your influence, power, wealth or status? Where Joseph got to, nobody in Israel had ever attained such office even amidst people of strange tongue. While many Christians celebrate prosperity and greatness and danced all around; they have not for once enquire why they have come to such great estate. Why I'm I great? For what reason did I graduate faster and at a tender age? Why I'm I the only succeeding fellow here? These are questions of purpose. A Joseph must know he is not created and made great for himself but that he might be useful for the uplifting of others, especially those that are  immediate to him. Some people's eyes would look at you, when it does, give what's in your hands.

There's a reason why you're alive. Joseph forgave and didn't allow grieve or bitterness blindfold or strangle his purpose for which he was sent ahead others. You might have been your own sponsor to becoming such a great one. Others might have ignored you and sold you off to failure and nothingness. However, do look beyond this and live the expectation of heaven hanging on you. Assist your siblings and know you're raised for them. There's a reason for your being sent ahead or before others. While they are in Canaan,you are in Egypt to prepare the ground for their future. You're their provider and preserver. Rise up and live to your task.

PRAYER: Lord, may I not disappoint Your expectation and people's over me.

MY EXPERIMENT ON WHO WILL BE GRIEVED

READ Psalm 127

Exodus 1:11-12, KJV

"11 Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.  12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel".

Why should they be grieved? Were they not the oppressor? Who should be grieved? The oppressed or the oppressor? You have heard said often that "silence is the best answer for a fool". I'll say it has its application in real life situations. If someone does all to get you angry while you keep your calm, do you know because you're not emitting the responses for which you're being frustrated, he might get frustrated. He'll get disoriented and wonder at why you never acted in response to his action despite all. Such people tend to leave you alone finally. They'll drop comments like, "He's a dead man! Let him be!" It rather gives the tormentor joy when you're emitting predicted feedbacks of his tormenting you. The more you get angry when insulted, the more insults he hauls at you again and again. Why? You keep meeting his expectation.

In today's reading, Pharaoh set task masters over the Israelites to afflict them. We read this report which says, "the more they're afflicted, the more they multiplied and grew". Now, this reaction as we saw yesterday defied the Egyptian's action at the Israelites. They ought to diminish and begin to go into extinction because no natural man continues reproducing in high fertility under unfavourable conditions. However, theirs was difference. At the observation of the Egyptians that this thing ain't working, they were shocked and thrown into dread. If they were wise, they ought to search "why?". Seeing the contrary, the Bible says, "they were vexed and alarmed because of the Israelites" AMP.

Is the oppressor not frustrated now? First, they were angry that their moves to stop them didn't work. Secondly, they were scared of the Israelites because it just doesn't make sense for any natural man to continue in high birth rate at their level of slavery. You may not know but let me tell you, there may be those fearing you currently. So much more that when your paths are to cross, having sighted you from afar, they would escape you. You might have been bewitched and enchanted spiritually without it working or showing in tangibility forms the enemy wants it seen. You may not know. The Israelites probably didn't know also that afterwards, the Egyptians dreaded them. But after all, your enemy himself would attest to the fact that you can't be shaken, removed or conquered. It makes such who have fought you without winning to respect you the more. Many of them if they're not the hardened type like Pharaoh will by so be moved unto repentance. They know how esteemed and powerful their bewitchment is. They've fashioned it at many who ran mad or died but seeing you not been affected would set them on enquiry. At their new birth, that's when you'll hear all the long story of how they tried bewitching and bringing you down but which didn't work. In their search for the whys, they came to know your God. May that be the testimony in Jesus name. Tell anyone who's making searches and going on the journey of enquiry of you to continue. Whenever they try, they'll always meet a wall which is God. They'll seek to curb, curtail, restrict and hinder you but all will be to no avail. Their labour will be vain labour because God won't build with them [Psalm 127:1]. Lacking God's support or acknowledgement, you remain the champion unconquered.

PRAYER: Make me impregnable. Teach me right standing with you. I clear my conscience of all things violating my righteousness.

DEFYING THE SITUATION

READ Gen. 50:15-20

Exodus 1:12, KJV

"But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel".

Due to the blessing on you, you'll defy the situation. You can't but burst the wine skin and outperform.

As one of the intervening techniques of curtailing Israel from multiplication having noticed they're of great populace and then mightier, Pharaoh made them slaves while making their lives bitter with all sorts of rigorous work. Israel was afflicted but Israel didn't bear the marks of affliction. It ought to be that Israel would diminish, die off and become a minority. However, contrary to that evil curbing technique of Pharaoh, Israel was reported to have grown the more! The way it was reported shows God Himself was fighting silently for Israel to prove a point to Pharaoh that who could have a thing decreed except He the Lord says it. For it was written, the more they were afflicted, the more they multiplied and grew. Isn't that contradictory? If you have two plants, which one should thrive or die out when one is being watered while the other isn't? I think the seed being afflicted by not watering should die off. Reverse is however the case for Israel. Israel thrived, survived and stood straight still. That's why you could hear of an orphan somewhere making it despite the lack of support or favourable condition. If you had seen the frown on Pharaoh's face, you wouldn't doubt that indeed the Egyptians were unhappy because of the Israelites (who kept multiplying).

Do you know that under the harshest conditions, surviving is actually a provision for God's own. Isaac sowed in the land and reaped hundred fold yet that was during famine! [Gen. 26:12]. You know that wasn't right. Something had been reversed and didn't work according to the law of nature there. Spiritual influences and forces working through the covenant - lineage's blessings and the personal promise of God to him to sow in same land were what mastered what should have been into what eventually became testimony. Your case is different son and daughter. When A is being done you in  expectance of B, you'll be manifesting Z to the shock of all. You're redeemed to cause shocks, draw awes and make eyes blink!

Are you in a country where prosperity is far from the common man? It once happened but that was when Elijah was eating balanced diet. Another economy will support you when one withers off. Egypt afflicted Israel but Israel never manifested the outcome of their bitterness towards them. Who are those troubling you? At day's end by the time they measure it, they'll see they have not achieved their aim and would be grieved. They'll be unhappy and say, "despite all". Do you know why? You're like a jeep specially built by its manufacturer to be rugged and survive bad roads and harsh conditions. You have in you, on you and around you things that would strengthen you to withstand and survive where the heathen under the same condition falls and collapses. The fiery burning furnace that the three Hebrew men withstood is what slay those who only drew near it. What preserves those ones? They're of a tribe that God is committed to. Devil, do your worst. Fight madly and in anger act in fury, I'll not look like your desire. Say that, " you won't look like Satan's desire". Like Israel, you'll cause awe of outgrowing restrictions. Disadvantages become advantages for you. It will be said of you that limitations rather and actually furthered you. He who works all things together is at the mill mixing what Satan, life and people are throwing at you to become reasons for which you'll testify. You're a tribe that disappoints the devices of the crafty, so that their hands perform not their craftiness while they're grieved until they're brought to repentance or at absolute refusal - destruction.

PRAYER: Father, let me outgrow boundaries. I breakthrough hedges. Make me the testimony tribe and a testimonial to my world.

LOOKING UNTO JESUS

Hebrews 12:2, KJV

"Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."

You must know that to be distracted is very easy. The very reason why you must intentionally practice selective looking. In today's verse, we are told to look unto Jesus. Looking unto Him and remembering some things about Him can keep us through our own hard times.

Literally, a thing you look unto is a thing you focus your gaze on. Your concentration is on such. Jesus in that verse is said to be taken as our model who endures shame for the joy set before Him. If we take Him as our model and continually remember how He struggled to win, we also would be mindful enough not to let go even when it's tough. We can't say we are alone or have nobody who has passed through the challenges we're passing through even if it's not the same challenge or situation.

A thing you constantly set before you is what you see. That's why the Psalmist says this.

Psalms 16:8, KJV

"I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved."

The remedy to not being moved in this life is setting the Lord before yourself. Something will come around that's enough reason to be shaken or moved. You'll be tried but those who will remain like hills surrounding Jerusalem which can't be moved will be those that have set the Lord before themselves. When you set God before yourself until He constantly takes the elegant place in your life (your right hand side) - showing importance and priority, you'll see that you can't be moved. Those who can't be moved are people who are constantly meditating and have established a strong belief in God. They've given Him the place of God who's all able. They're those who also creates the mental picture of the Almighty and His almightiness before themselves while putting themselves in constant remembrances of His miraculous acts. These are people who like David have not forgotten in a hurry the past works of the Lord but could firmly reminisce and say, "the Lord that delivers me from the paws of the lion and the bear will deliver me from this uncircumcised Philistine also." Those that would remember God's great act in the past are those who can have Him believed to be able to settle future risings.

Have you set the Lord before yourself? If He's not your focus, your meditation all day till He is giving a place in your life where He reigns as very important in your matters (to the extent that you can't do a thing without consulting Him), you'll easily be lost or give up when the storm arises.

PRAYER: Lord, may my daily practices show I've set you before me and that you're at my right hand. May I not be moved. May I see you as a worthy model to look unto and to.

HIS FAITHFULNESS IS PROVEN

Read Exodus 2:1-9

Exodus 2:4-5, KJV

"4 And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.5 And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it."

Do you know that the Lord is faithful? The heathen must know and cover their mouth with their hands. Saints in Christ must see and to Him glory. Look, if there's no hand to receive you, one hand won't let you down. Even before your arrival, He takes thought for you. 

The case of Moses reveals a God that won't let you be stranded wherever and at whatever time. It doesn't matter those who are watching how your end would look. If no strand of hair falls off without God's knowing, it means nothing happens to you without God's acknowledgement and permission first of all also. From this, you should draw assurance that you're always in the hands of God even if you're alone now. Moses was just a baby. His own case is worst than Joseph's. Joseph was an adolescent sold into slavery though without parents or one to point to as a familiar face. Moses when he was dropped by the river found himself in a bad condition than Joseph. He was not only without parents but defenseless since he was just three months old. What can a baby do if an ant or snake crawls on him? If we agree he's against these protected, what would he do if a hand comes to collect him away? He wouldn't have resisted. That's why God ensured Moses fell into the right hands.

To test whether God is faithful or not, one character proved God for us though she did out of curiosity. Moses' sister wouldn't go. Something held her still to continue to watch this season movie and see where it would end and where Moses would fall. She therefore hide herself in the bush at a vantage distance where she could see any transaction happening to baby Moses. What a connection between the siblings. Blood is powerful indeed. It brings two or more together in unbreakable bond. While she watches, she saw in queenly garments a figure arriving at the river. What could this mean? That's how the woman drew Moses from the water. As the contemplation was going on, she came out and suggested if her royalty would need a nurse. Yours truly, that's how the boy's mother nurses her own child. Imagine that! When it seems there was no hope, God rose one for Moses and preserved a prophet for Israel. Is it not because of situations like this that we have a scripture like the one below written for our exhortation.

Psalms 27:10, KJV 

"When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.

Don't forget that clause, "the Lord will take me up." If that's the only verse you remember when you're deserted but surrounded, you'll beat the devil cyclically again and again. Are you a student on campus lacking support? It may not be to your sponsors' joy but don't forget God will take you up. Adoption is a reality. I was adopted on campus by many parents. Different people put money down at different times I needed it. My father had passed on and the burden was just too heavy on my Mama. Are you a missionary or minister who's forlorn in the field? Is the quarterly widow's mite promised you not coming again? The Lord will take you up. Wherever and on whatever you feel this is the end; may I announce, that's the beginning. My Father, you're the One I cry unto day and night. You also freely gave Jesus to us. If you gave this your best, will you withdraw any other good thing from us? Will you not rather freely give us all things to enjoy? I affirm it can't but be. I pray for all forlorn and those at a juncture where like Moses' sister watches what would become of themselves and their situations. It may look like you're in the midst of the sea and you're drowning. You might even have taken some gulps of water but salvation that arises in Zion for Israel shall arise for you today. When you're in no man's land, at the verge of being finished or on the road of being ended, help in time of need: an immediate help shall come your way. If Pharaoh's daughter didn't miss her time but hearkened to God to move to the saving of Moses when an invisible hand stirred her up, none would miss his time to aid you.

PRAYER: Your faithfulness is proven. Moses' sister waited and saw it. I am waiting, let me see it.

INVENTORS OR DESTROYERS - National Stories Series 006

READ Gen. 41

Genesis 41:15, KJV

"And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it".

In the community of men, you'll see the "inventors" and then the "destroyers". Today, I want to elaborate on why expatriates must have rights and room to flower wherever they find to indwell. Pharaoh said this, "Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land" Exo.1:10.

On who should this heavy hand of Pharaoh fall? Any who has been investigated and found to be indeed and in all morality sense against the peace of the nation. When Pharaoh said this of the Hebrews, we knew he was only speaking his insecurity out though there were obvious suspicious basis for what he said. Israel was many and mightier yet this doesn't literally translate to fighting one's host or seizing power. One may have money and not have any interest in the politics of his country. He may not run and may not sponsor any but we know he can be a victim of a suspicious dictator who believes can use his wealth to sponsor a coup against him. You may be qualified and not pursue. Pharaoh identified why Israel was a threat but though they possessed those attributes, they never thought of moving in the direction of overthrowing the government. If their time to leave had come (let's say Moses and Aaron didn't show up), they would still have sent representatives to Pharaoh to let them go while recounting history in his ears and thanking him for such long years of accommodation which he himself don't know about. 

In today's reading, a Pharaoh (the dreamer) acknowledged Joseph by witness' report as he who could interpret dreams. Note how he said it. "I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it". This verse reveals Joseph as a beneficial, profiting expatriate to any nation that receives him. He is an inventor. One who can proffer solution to the problem of the country he dwells in. Such men as these don't only have skill, wisdom, education but they're also the correct citizen in that they don't violate the law. Such kind of citizen is to be desired by any government and given a room to flower. This Pharaoh (the dreamer) recognized that in Joseph. That's why he entrusted the whole land into his hands. He brought him into politics. It wasn't Joseph who aspired or canvasses for an office through perspiration, lust or filthy lucre. That only came as a reward. So, it's not bad for expatriates to be given recognition for their contributions. Any that has the potential, ability and character etc and thus can, is or had applied such to bring development to his country of indwelling is a developer or inventor. Once he's law abiding though has not yet built them a car that flies, he is in the inventor or developer category. Such either creates an enabling environment for such creating vehicles that fly/those doing miracles in their respective fields or are themselves. They should not be discarded or reduced to non entities on the basis of colour, race, gender, education etc. They should be made citizens and seen so so that the host country can have them for himself totally while leveraging on all their abilities to become a nation utopia. Such should not be made like unto the Hebrews who were suppressed and made second class citizens. Welcome them rather. 

Such as plan its destruction, derogatorily defame it or refuse to abide in lawful order within its frame even though born citizens are destroyers.  Such the hand of the law should be heavy on. Have we not read who should be prosecuted and punished? Rom.13:3.  It is only on this second basis any government in the world should be seen being heavy on humans. Are they found out to be terrorists, law breakers or inciters of men to do so etc, let them face the tune of that. That's why the prison is created to sieve the chaff from the wheat irrespective of race, nationality, gender, education, status etc until such fellow's conduct is refined and fit for society again. That is if he is not carrying a death sentence. If Pharaoh had found this truth out, he would have harnessed all the brains amidst the Hebrews to build another great Egypt in his own tenure. However, insecurity blindfolded him to what these many and mightier people could yield him. 

This is God's wisdom and counsel to all expatriates to be a "Joseph" who would advance the land of their dwelling. Be your homeland's ambassador. If you've been received as a citizen, behave and live like one. 

PRAYER: As a Joseph in a strange land, may I not be short of being an inventor or developer.

THIS NATURAL FEELING OF JEALOUSY - National Stories Series 005

READ Exodus 1:8-15

Exodus 1:9-10, KJV

" 9 And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we: 10 Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land".

If in a home, the adopted children are doing better than the biological, do you believe it can set the biological on edge and make them question the right the adopted have in their father's house. Even, same could still happen where the biological are even better or all equals. That's when they (the biological) begins to possess their father for themselves because they now sense the incoming of sharing which could lead to competition. The biological children out of  jealousy of their father being another's father coupled with insecurity would ask, "when it is time, they'll show you your real parents and you shall leave". Do you know that all of us have a natural feeling of jealousy put in us? Only that we are liable to what we let it cause. I have heard many Africans for instance charge Europeans etc with being discriminating (myself inclusive) because we've seen a lot indeed. Let's reverse the order. Let's say Africa is the one this verily developed while Europe is the one coming to Africa, how many of you reasons to believe with me that we Africans would discriminate them as well?

Do you want to know why? We believe, "why come here to lick us clean?; why don't you stay in your own land too?". "If we are not beneficiaries of the little goodies in your land, why should you be here to exhaust ours?" That's our thinking and it is so for every host nation and some if not all its citizens. Indignation may be stirred in her citizens when they see the prosperity of aliens even more than natives. Don't forget that was the cause of Pharaoh's action. Israel was more and mightier than they were. They filled the land. Yesterday, I substantiate it by showing how Ghana sent packing all foreign nations (many African) living in her during Busia's government and how Nigeria sent Ghanaians especially packing too during the Buhari led administration after their being drawn by the oil boom. What excuse did Nigerians give? Ghanaians are not giving them space to breathe. They're sharing in what is not enough which should be meant for citizens. Why add to our problem? Up, begone to your father's house also! Even if it is enough, any one could have said, "go and develop your nation too". That's that jealousy. If it is not well channeled (for it can't be eradicated), it can lead to a massacre of the people. 

So, before you'll say you can't discriminate and affirm same to be true, first put yourself in the shoe of Pharaoh and others who are guilty of it. Know why they do it and why you won't or shouldn't do it. Pharaoh started discriminating when he stopped seeing the Israelites as Egyptians. If Joseph were still alive, he would never have been lesser an Egyptian than he was a Hebrew. So is each of the Hebrews living in Egypt. They proud themselves being Egyptians though foreigners and Hebrews. The day natives don't see aliens or expatriates as citizens - which they (citizens) are, discrimination starts. For that is when we start creating distinction amidst men. Natives would only be justified of this if expatriates have stopped living as citizens.

Pharaoh's concern was concern but it was not well channeled. Israel didn't contest for the kingship of Egypt with the Egyptians. They only needed a land to live and right to life to exercise. That the natives are the ones ruling still makes them the domineering force because it is he who bears the sceptre that owns the nation. So today, let us not deny that we can be made jealous on the account of having being prospered and another coming to enjoy the labour of our heroes. Rather, let's grow out of the evils of being made jealous into seeing all men as one as long as they're for peace. Israel would have been guilty of what Pharaoh accused them of if they were trying to seize the government or planning Egypt's downfall. Except they're called to government, they should remain low also. But in this wise, insecurity and inordinate fear pushed Pharaoh into taking unnecessary measures. Check yourself too for God is jealous over strangers amidst you even to avenge them. 

PRAYER: Lord, teach me to treat my neighbour as myself.
