Overcomers “Obedience”

Psalm 112:1-6

Joseph
Think of your life like a 1,000 piece puzzle that has to be put together! You only have one piece and the other pieces are the connections with others you make, the circumstances you walk through and the choices you make daily! What if I told you could never put all of the pieces together and you are only responsible for the one piece you have! What would say that one piece was?

5 Things God Wants to Tell You Tonight through Joseph’s story

  1. He Has a Plan for Your Life
    1. Genesis 37
      1. Many will tell the vision God has given you won’t come true…they may even try to put you in the most difficult circumstance to prevent it from happening!
      2. Often when God has given us the vision He has for us we walk straight into hardship…hold on to hope!
  2. He has not forgotten You!
    1. Genesis 39
      1. V. 22-23 God is with you wherever you go!
      2. Many times our circumstances lead us to forget God’s Vision for Us!
    2. Genesis 40
      1. v.14– Man may forget you but God never will
  3. He Wants You To Seek Him
    1. Genesis 41
      1. V.39-40 God allows Joseph to interpret Pharaoh’s dreams which sets him to be in a position he’s never been in & setting him up for a miracle he never thought would happen
  4. He Knows Who You Are
    1. Genesis 42
      1. v. 24-26– Joseph’s Brothers didn’t know him!
      2. Most the time those who hurt you don’t even recognize who we are down the line…even in their own desperation
  5. He Will Bless Your Obedience
    1. Genesis 45:4-8
      1. Joseph tells his brothers it wasn’t them who sold him into slavery but God who had sent Joseph ahead of them to be part of their salvation from the famine
      2. When we face the hardest circumstance we have to trust that God is just freeing us up to do something greater & to be a part of a bigger miracle.
  • How Was Joseph an OVERCOMER?
    1. Joseph understood that his pain was the key to Greatness
    2. Joseph ministered during his darkest times
    3. Joseph didn’t push his own agenda but instead trusted God!
  • The ONE piece you control in your life is your obedience to listen to Jesus and do what He says! He will connect the pieces as needed and we have to trust the one piece that is our obedience will be blessed!

Founder and Lead Pastor of thevine.tv Realtor® with The Ott Group at Ponce Realty Group LLC (www.theponcerealtygroup.com) Theodore Roosevelt describes in “The Arena” a man who boldly stepped out of the seats & into the Arena! The Arena I get to fight in is to help others live an abundant life by finding the gifts that God has given them and helping them take their next step by fulfilling the calling God has on their lives! Growing up in a widowed home from the age of 2, I experienced the dependence of faith, the importance of family, the foundation of integrity, the value of loyalty and the success that can be achieved through hard work. Whether expanding Walgreens from 4000 to 8000 healthcare stores, or stepping out in faith to be a part of launching a NewSpring Church Campus--faith, family, integrity, loyalty and hard work are fingerprints of me being involved! Each experience I have stepped into has allowed me to develop invaluable relationships that have not only achieved remarkable results, but more importantly made an impact on the lives of others that will last beyond this lifetime...a cause worthy to fight for! Can't wait to see how Jesus continues to #JoinSpartanburg at #thevinetv and the Local Church Around the World!
