2009 has passed; it was a blue year for many trying to steal dreams, full of affliction and questions.
God guarantees obstacles will not keep our vision from being fulfilled. Though they were enslaved, Israel received the strength to overcome Egypt’s efforts to break them. “The more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew” (Exodus 1:12 NKJV).
Paul’s dream of evangelizing the world met roadblocks at every turn. Tightening his grip he declared. “We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;” (2 Corinthians 4:8-9 KJV).
Joseph’s journey to the throne led him through betrayal, persecution and loneliness. His dream, still alive and would not quit. He was blameless and his dream was realized, he said, ‘God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction’” (Genesis 41:52). He refused to surrender his dream and it kept him alive. God made him fruitful, not by exempting him from affliction but by giving him abundance right there, “in the land of my affliction.” Obstacles can’t stop God; don’t let them stop you!
2010 is the year of truth, full of answers and the fulfillment of dreams for those who take action walk in faith and commit to never quit!
Blessings Abound in the New Year!
