BORN TO RULE
At creation, the plan of God for man was to dominate, control and be in charge of everything on earth. Although, the devil tried to alter God’s plan by orchestrating the fall of man, but glory be to God for making a way of redemption for man through the Lord Jesus Christ.
No child in this world was born either by accident or by mistake. I mean there would be a divine purpose to fulfill before conception of such a person even took place. God told prophet Jeremiah that “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”
The account of life history of Joseph, as contained in Gen 37:3-11, reveals that he was born to rule. In fact, he became an object of disdain, ridicule and persecution in the hands of his brothers due to the foreseen divine blueprint. The plot to kill him and eventual to sell him as a result of the dreams narrated to his parents and brethren were helping him to fulfill his divine mandate.
Interestingly, one of the two dreams joseph had was about the sun, the moon and the eleven stars all paying obeisance to him. This simply explains that he was supernaturally born to rule over his brothers! Another instance worthy of note is the life of Daniel and the three Hebrew men (Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego) who, despite from eating from the portion of the King’s delicacies, faired ten times better than the rest of their counterparts.
They were also the best in all forms of languages and interpretation of dreams because they were born to shine against all odds. Beloved, God has programmed everything needed for our dominion in the redemptive plan which Jesus Christ offered on the cross several thousand years ago.
It is God’s desire that His children rule over challenges and situations but this is premised on accepting his salvation offer. If you have accepted it, continue to walk daily in His steps. On the other hand, if you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior or you are rising and falling, today is another opportunity to surrender your life unto Him.
Your maker wants you to rule over sin, self and the world. God bless you real good.
