YOUR PROBLEM HAS A PURPOSE

Problems, worries, hardships, difficulties, pain, toil, confusion, chaos and many more just like these are a part of everyone’s life. We all go through these even if we don’t ask for them, in fact, nobody wants these things in their life. But, these problems and other disturbances are allowed in our lives by the God who created us. You might think ‘why such a Good and Loving God would allow this into our lives’ but the truth is that He sure will allow these things in our lives for a greater plan and a greater purpose. We will not understand it at the moment we go through the situation but we sure will understand it when we get to the other side of the problem and look back.

Why I say that the problems that come on your way as you take on life are for a purpose, is because every problem that the Lord allows in your life will point to a deeper character of God or convict you of some mistake you’re doing or teach you something you didn’t know earlier or to do something so great in your life that you would have never even imagined or just to show you how it feels to be in those situations, that when someone in the future tells you a similar situation that they’re going through, you will definitely understand. Because the God that we serve is the mastermind of all happening of our lives. He has everything in his hands and he never will make a mistake in your life.

Let me explain what I mean by saying “YOUR PROBLEM HAS A PURPOSE”. Let me take the example of Joseph from the bible. Let me tell you how joseph’s problems had a great purpose At the end of his story. So, josephs story starts with him being the most special boy in a family of 10 older brothers. His father was Jacob and Jacob loved Joseph so much that he gave him a robe so beautiful that Joseph's brothers were jealous of him. They were so jealous that they went to the extent of selling him as a slave to the Egyptians. That was the FIRST problem that Joseph faced in his life. 

As Joseph was in Egypt as the slave to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. As he was working in Potiphar’s house he was so faithful in all that he did that God blessed the house of Potiphar because of Joseph. 
The Lord was with Joseph, so he succeeded in everything he did as he served in the home of his Egyptian master. Potiphar noticed this and realized that the Lord was with Joseph, giving him success in everything he did.
Genesis 39:2-3
 And his life went on like this. But when Potiphar wasn’t there in the house his wife would call Joseph to lie with her as he was so handsome. But he tore his clothes and said to her that he wouldn’t sin against his master and GOD. So the wife of Potiphar said falsely against Joseph and Potiphar was angry and put him in the prison. This was the SECOND problem that Joseph went through even though he did no mistake. Even then Joseph was faithful in what he did that he was in charge of the prisoners. In the prison, he had the cupbearer and baker of the king with him. And both of them had a dream on the same day and Joseph interpreted the dream and the interpretation was right. And the cupbearer returned to the palace as the cupbearer. Joseph asked of him to tell to the king that he is in prison for doing no mistake. But the cupbearer forgot to tell so.

As Joseph was going through all this pain and hardship and problem for no reason the GOD who created him showed up in the midst of the storm and raging sea. God had given the king 2 dreams on 2 consecutive days that the king did not understand. As the king wanted to know the meaning of the dream he saw, he asked all his great ministers and counselors, but none were able to say the right interpretation for it. At this time the cupbearer remembered Joseph and told the king of how Joseph was able to interpret the dream that he had seen. So the king ordered Joseph to be brought to him. And Joseph was able to interpret the dream which was about the famine that was to come 7 years later. So the king made him second in power in all of Egypt and gave him his signet ring. All the problems and worries in joseph’s life turned out to be the way for the purpose that God had for his life.

PROBLEMS JOSEPH HAD THAT WERE FOR A PURPOSE:
1. If Joseph did not come to Egypt then no one would have been aware of the famine that was to come.
2. If Joseph did not go to the prison for a mistake he never did then he wouldn’t have met the cupbearer and the king would have never known about Joseph.

This is why I say that the problems in your life are all for a purpose, don’t ever give up on MY GOD because He will show up in ways, in times, in seasons, in places, through means you could have never imagined in your wildest dreams. Just hold onto Him and His promises cause my GOD IS A PROMISE KEEPER. For,

THE CALLING - Know your enemy

As we are in the journey of learning about ‘the calling’ God has kept over our lives, we need to know about our enemy. The enemy is the one who is always waiting to stop us from doing the will of God in our lives. Therefore, we must have a complete understanding of our enemy and his strategies.

Let me remind you of the 3 things that happen in the relationship w...

THE CALLING - How to?

Welcome to this blog as I continue the series 'THE CALLING'. In the previous blog, we saw in-depth about what the calling of God is. In this blog, we are going to see how to walk in the calling of god over our lives. Now that we have understood ‘what’ the calling of God is and some of the important things about the calling of God over our lives, let us go to Matthew 7:21, where we saw Jesus saying that doing the will of God is the only way to enter heaven and If we read further, the scriptures say like this: On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’   But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’ Matthew 7:22-23 Here we see Jesus saying what He meant when He said ‘WILL OF GOD’ in the previous verse. In other terms, Jesus is saying how we are to stand and pursue the calling of God over our lives. In verse 22, Jesus says that just beca...

Spiritual Secrets | Unforgiveness |

  Unforgiveness is one strong emotion that most of the people tend to carry in their hearts. It is not only a strong emotion but also a very negative one. It is one emotion that has the power to destroy us completely if we allow it to. It is one emotion that we must never carry but we always tend to do because of other people’s actions and reactions to certain situations.   Why I say unforgiveness is very dangerous is because, let’s say that you have not forgiven your friend for betraying you in some situation. You carry unforgiveness in your heart. Although it is your friend who has wronged you and you have done nothing wrong, unforgiveness will only pester you and not your friend. You see this unforgiveness will create a hatred in your heart whenever you think about that person or come across a similar situation. This hatred will soon become anger and will come out and burst out in places and situations that you don’t expect resulting in problems only in your life. And the p...
