WE KNOW IN PARTS

Memorise: "For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth" (Psalm 71:5)

Read: Genesis 37:5-10

In Luke 22:31-32, when Satan fixed his gaze on Peter, intending to use him to betray the One he loved, Jesus interceded on his behalf. In anyway the devil is planning to use you against the Lover of your soul - the Lord Jesus Christ, that plot shall fail in Jesus' Name. The One who prayed for Peter will pray for you. When you know that the Lord loves you to the point of not allowing Satan's plan concerning you to prosper, you will be at peace. Isaiah 26:3-4 assures those who trust in God of peace. You can live in peace when you know that God is in control. God knows the end from the beginning. However, when God tells you the end of a matter at a very early stage, He may likely keep the details to Himself. I believe that is superior wisdom. If some of us were open to all the challenges we were going to face from the time we were saved till we see Him in glory, we could backslide. If the Lord had told me shortly before my salvation that I would end up as the General Overseer of a large organization like the RCCG, I might never have been born again. It was after I became born again that He informed me of what I was going to pass through on my journey to Heaven. On the other hand, if He shows you the glorious future ahead of you, you would be excited and look forward to it. If God shows you your rewards in Heaven like He showed me mine, there is nothing anybody would do to make you go back to the world. May the Lord reveal your eternal bliss to you in Jesus' Name

God showed Joseph in two revelational dreams that one day he would be a very great man. This young boy was happy and looked forward to it. He held on to that dream and made sure nothing and no one snatched it from him. But God did not tell him of the rejection, the pit and slavery experiences. He did not tell him he would be sold by his brothers or end up in prison for his dream to be fulfilled. If he knew these, he could have preferred remaining at his limited level enjoying his coat of many colours. He could have asked God to transfer the dream to somebody else. When you were led into that marriage, ministry, business or project, did the Lord reveal all the challenges to you? God's perfect will over an issue does not absolve us of challenges, but assures us of His presence whenever the storms arise. The Lord will give you peace. You will experience His peace in the midst of your storms this season. It shall be well with you. Details of your life are simply reserved for strategic reasons.

Ask God to visit the sick in hospitals with salvation and His healing power.
