Beloved, I like to congratulate you for being part of the living in this new month and indeed our month of DIVINE PREFERENCE.
I pray for you wherever you go from this month and beyond, may you be divinely preferred among others in Jesus' name.
“Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colors.”
(Genesis 37:3)
Jacob had ten sons before Joseph was eventually born; he even went on to have one more son (Benjamin) after having Joseph. He had twelve sons in all, but in the end, Joseph was favored above the rest of the sons. In the midst of twelve sons, Joseph was the most loved. If it was about loving the youngest son, Jacob should have loved Benjamin most, but he still loved Joseph the most. Joseph was preferred above others.
Joseph was preferred, not because there were no competitors, but despite the presence of competitors and rivals.
By reason of the prophetic word of God to us this month:
Joseph did not do anything special before he was preferred above others; it was not about efforts; it was all by grace. Your efforts may not give it to you, but grace will bring it to you. You may not have the advantages that others have, you may not know the people they know, you may not tick all the boxes that they have ticked, but you will still be the preferred one.
Focus on God and forget about whosoever is ahead of you or indeed whosoever is the latest in town. When the Almighty is involved, you will be preferred.
“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.”
(1 Peter 2:9)
(To be taken every day. Overdose not harmful)
Tap into the theme of this month and enjoy Divine Preference in every aspect of your life in Jesus' name.
🕊 Shalom!!
