FOR YOUR GOOD – Saturday October 3rd
2020
Memorise: And we know that all things work together for good to them
that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28
Read: Genesis 50:19-22 (KJV)
19 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I
in the place of God?
20 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.
21 Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little
ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.
22 And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph
lived an hundred and ten years.
Bible in one year: Matthew 3, Mark 1, Luke 3, Hymn: Sing hymn 30
MESSAGE:-
If we could see things the way God does, our
lives would be far better. Sometimes, criticism comes because God wants to make
you more popular and influential.

Some people may even harm you because God
wants to promote you. If you cannot see things from God’s point of view, you
may miss the coming blessing. As long as you remain in love with God, you can
rest assured that all things are working together for your good. Ephesians
1:3-6 says the purpose of God for your life had been settled before the
foundations of the world. All the things you have gone through and people you
have met in your life – whether good or bad, are part of the purpose of God for
you.

I find the story of Joseph (Genesis 37:46)
very instructive. He was one person who saw things from God’s point of view.
His father loved him greatly and gave him a coat of many colours – prophetic of
where he was going. His brothers became jealous of him because of his dreams of
greatness and they sold him into slavery. If his brothers had accepted him,
they would not have sold him into slavery. If they had not sold him into
slavery, he would not have arrived in Egypt, and neither would he have reached
the throne. If he had not gotten to the throne, his brothers would not have
come to bow to him as God had shown him many years before.
Open Heaven 3 October 2020 Saturday: Key Point
Joseph saw things from God’s point of view;
he knew that if he could just stay holy, everything happening to him would
eventually lead him to the throne. He never let his wilderness experience take
away his hope or make him sin against God. At every stage of his ordeal (as a
slave in Potiphar’s house and as a prisoner), his leaders attested to the fact
that God was with him.
God is working out His purpose for your life.
Those who hate you and those who love you are part of the plan. Stay holy, keep trusting Him; you reward is
just around the corner. Galatians 6:9 says:
“And
let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint
not.”
Key Point
As long as you are still in the will of God, don’t worry; everything
around you is working for your good (Romans 8:28).
