Today’s exhortation – our Shepherd

When we pray, “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.” We must recognise that the Shepherd we speak of is not just a Shepherd. He is the Almighty and He says, “For all the animals of the forest are mine, and I own the cattle on a thousand hills.” Psalms‬ ‭50:10‬). “The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.” (Haggai‬ ‭2:8‬). There’s no need He can’t meet and there’s no beast that can attack us when we are with our Shepherd. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the First and the Last. He is our rock, our fortress, and our deliverer; our God, our strength, in whom we will trust; our buckler, and the horn of our salvation, and our high tower.” (Psalms‬ ‭18:2‬)

Don’t put the enemy on the same level as our God! He is beneath His feet, and very soon the bible says, “And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly…” (Romans‬ ‭16:20). Whatever battle or fight you may find yourself in, you’re not in this fight by yourself, the shepherd is with you. Person needing healing He is the great Physician. What ever you need, the Shepherd is coming. Let Him lead you besides green pastures and restore your soul. Peace, be still and know that He is God. He’s got you. This is not just another encouraging message, it’s the truth! Have an amazing week. God bless you

Today’s exhortation – It’s all about Jesus

Before we move on from the life study of Joseph, we’ve to look at the big picture of his story. God sent him to Egypt to preserve His chosen people and to make a way for the Messiah to come. Before Jacob died, he prophesied about the Messiah saying, “The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, Nor a lawgiver from between his feet, Until Shiloh comes; And to Him shall be the obedience of the people.” (Genesis‬ ‭49:10‬). Shiloh is another name of The Messiah Jesus and the sceptre is about His kingship as King of kings. He is the Lion of the tribe of Judah and the desire of all nations. (Haggai 2:7).

And about the obedience of the people, it is written: “ As I live, says the LORD, Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall confess to God.”” (‭‭Romans‬ ‭14:11‬). I believe God’s bigger picture is transform all men into the image of His Son Jesus. In order for that to happen, He had to be born a man and so God chose Abraham to use him to make a nation of people through whom He will come. Jesus death on the cross was also to enable us to receive The Holy Spirit of whom it is written, “…And The Lord—who is The Spirit—makes us more and more like Him as we are changed from glory to glory into His glorious image.”‭‭ (2 Corinthians‬ ‭3:18‬). Hallelujah! Ultimately, it’s all about Jesus.
