TEXT GENESIS 37:22-28
TOPIC : BRANDED, THE MYSTERY OF EXEMPTION
[22]And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again.
[24]And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.
[25]And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.
[26]And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
[27]Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content.
[28]Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
Dearly beloved, as you read through these scriptures, you will notice the interplay of power.
You would also realize that Joseph was not alone even though his brothers thought he was.
Joseph came into that wilderness unaware that he being escorted by a battalion of angelic forces.
He must have been terrified by the strange schemes by his own brothers to kill him.
Beloved, though you work through the valley of the shadow of death, God is with you, even in that deep pit.
Beloved, we are never alone, we are always surrounded by an innumerable band of angels, the only problem is that we are not conscious of them.
As we begin to activate this consciousness, we will begin to experience a higher dimension of angelic intervention.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
