BLESSING LIKE A DREAM
Genesis 41:37-44
When blessings come from God, it can daze and dazzle the receiver. Imagine a Joseph who slept and woke up in the prison, went to answer a call in the palace of Pharaoh. Within moments, things turned around. He was lifted beyond his imagination. He never returned to the prison. He remained in the palace as second in command to Pharaoh. He moved with convoys with siren. Portiphar would salute him. The keeper of the prison would do likewise. To Joseph, it would be like a dream. Psalm 126 says it all:
It seemed like a dream, too good to be true when God returned Zion’s exiles. We laughed, we sang, we couldn’t believe our good fortune. We were the talk of the nations; “God was wonderful to them!” God was wonderful to us, we are one happy people. And now, God, do it again – bring rains to our drought – stricken lives, so those who planted their crops in despair will shout hurrahs at the harvest, so those who went off with heavy hearts will come home laughing with armloads of blessing. (MSG).
This is loaded. Are you going through a difficult situation? Do you have heavy loads on your heart? Relax, you will soon laugh. When God blesses you, you will soon become the talk of the town. Remember Obed – Edom? God blessed him and in the space of three months, the whole of Israel knew it: Watch out, you shall surely testify that God is wonderful to you. The whole world will see it. He will bless the works of your hands. You will always return with sheaves in your hands.
It does not matter what you may have lost in the past; it does not matter how much or how long the loss, God will make everything right again. It is a new beginning for you. It is your season of Blessings. The blessing has the capacity to turn things around in your favour. And this is what will happen from now on. Things will turn around for your good. Like that song says “I can see everything turning around for my good”. This will be your song. In the scriptures, everyone that God blessed, he transformed. Lift up your eyes. Enlarge your vision. Await blessings. Transformation is coming your way.
