SPRING ALWAYS COMES AFTER WINTER
Life has 4 seasons : spring, winter, summer, and fall. I don't have time to go through all those 4 seasons but I am more interested with one particular season : the winter season which I consider to be the waiting season.
Indeed, in the winter season, things can become harder than you can imagine. Let us look at what happened to 2 people in the Bible while going through the winter season : Job and Joseph.
While in the waiting season,
- Joseph was forgotten in prison for 2 years by the man who was released from prison after he has ministered to him. (Genesis 40:23)
Sound strange? Yes, in the waiting season, people will forget you, desert you and leave you. Which people? Like Joseph, the people you have helped, the people you have assisted, the people you have ministered to, the people you have cared for ...
- Job was mocked by his own wife (Job 2:9)
What ? You might ask me. Of course, people will mock you. Which people? Like Job, the people who enjoyed your wealth and prosperity for years, the people you have had great time chilling out together, the people who shared the same bed with you ...
WHAT TO DO IN THE WINTER SEASON?
1/ KNOW AND BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE NOT ALONE. GOD IS THERE WITH YOU.
Joseph was left alone to face the uncertainty in a foreign land. He was even forgotten. Yet in the midst of that winter season, the Bible records often and often that God was with him.
Genesis 39:2 "And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian."
Genesis 39:21 "But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison."
PRAYER 1 | Lift up your voice and declare boldly to the Lord today that you know and you believe that He is there with you. Pray with Matthew 28:20/ John 14:18/ Hebrews 13:5-6
2/ KNOW AND BELIEVE THAT WINTER WILL NOT BE FOREVER. AFTER WINTER, SPRING WILL COME.
When Job's winter ended, the Spring season came. He was restored double of whatever he has lost in winter and those who deserted him came back to him as well as the mockers came to honor him.
PRAYER 2 | I SEE DOUBLE RESTORATION IN SOMEONE'S LIFE TODAY. I SEE SOMEONE'S WINTER PASSING AND SPRING COMING. I SEE MOCKERS COMING TO BOW BEFORE SOMEONE TODAY ...
Is it you ? If it you, in anticipation to your coming spring, lift up your voice and start praising the Lord!
SO SHALL IT BE
JESUS IS LORD
