Topic : God Is Working Out Something Good.

Memory Verse:‭‭Isaiah 49:3. He said to me, “You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will display my splendor.”

‭IBible Reading :saiah 49:1-2, 4 NIV‬. Key Verse: v1.

Listen to me, you islands; hear this, you distant nations: Before I was born the Lord called me; from my mother’s womb he has spoken my name. He made my mouth like a sharpened sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me into a polished arrow and concealed me in his quiver.

But I said, “I have labored in vain; I have spent my strength for nothing at all. Yet what is due me is in the Lord’s hand, and my reward is with my God.”

The people of Israel in the old testament was a unique people. Their father was Jacob who in turn was the son of Isaac and grandson of Abraham. The beginning of the life of Jacob wasn’t an easy one as he cheated on his elder brother to have his birthright and blessing with help of their mother. To save his life, he had to run to be with his uncle Laban whom he served and learnt to follow process and patience before God finally made him. It took God time, but God was able to mould character into him as he was deceived and given Leah after he served for Rachel seven years. He had to serve another seven years before he could get the wife of his choice. “When morning came, there was Leah! So Jacob said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? I served you for Rachel, didn’t I? Why have you deceived me?” Laban replied, “It is not our custom here to give the younger daughter in marriage before the older one. Finish this daughter’s bridal week; then we will give you the younger one also, in return for another seven years of work.”
Genesis 29:25-27.

Jacob left his father’s house as a trickster, but came back to his father’s house a blessed and covenant servant of the Lord. God took him to Laban to mould character into him through what he passed through in the hands of his uncle Laban and his family, as his mother was no more available to assist him behind the scene. God proved his faithfulness in his life by giving him a business idea that exploded him in the house of Laban. “Whenever the stronger females were in heat, Jacob would place the branches in the troughs in front of the animals so they would mate near the branches, but if the animals were weak, he would not place them there. So the weak animals went to Laban and the strong ones to Jacob. In this way the man grew exceedingly prosperous and came to own large flocks, and female and male servants, and camels and donkeys.” Genesis 30:41-43.

Everything God does is always subject to his own due process and timing. He doesn’t jump any part of his own prescribed process for any reason. In like manner, every man who is part of his plan for his earthly kingdom, he passes through a period of preparation in order to get the best of such individual. Most time as men, we don’t appreciate everything God does or every process he passes us through because they are not very pleasant. This process from God is used to remould us and deposit some qualities in us that will make us most useful in the kingdom. ‭”And now the Lord says— he who formed me in the womb to be his servant to bring Jacob back to him and gather Israel to himself, for I am honored in the eyes of the Lord and my God has been my strength—he says: “It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.”

Prayer :Thank you Father God for every good plan you have for ny life. Thank you for every process you are passing me through to make me whom you want me to be. Let me come out prepared and ready to carry blessings that will affect generations in Jesus precious name…… Amen 🙏🏿.
