0:43 Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John GIFTA. A lot of times as we look at what's the world at Lodge is going through. Maybe when you talk about the pandemic, or that is a recessional or economic

1:02 challenge that's happening. People are losing their jobs, or there's uh insecurity when it comes to keeping your jobs, or maybe there are certain things that are specific to your locality. Maybe your you or your community is going through some kind of a challenge in your area. Maybe geographically uh you know, in your area, there's that there's some kind of a challenge uh and and and in and around that place there is some kind of a trouble. I wanted to understand. Sometimes we tend to look at that and say, you know what, you know what, I'm not going to pray about this, because everybody's going through this.

1:37 Even I'm going to go through this, I'm also going to suffer. See, I wanted to understand there is a place where, yes, the Bible says reign comes on the just undy and just alike, Matthew five, fortify, or even when when Jesus said, in this world you will have troubles, we will have troubles. We will have challenges. There is no escape from a life without troubles. While we are still on planet third, we will have challenges that are coming against us. But what I want you to understand is you don't have to look at it or have this kind of a perspective where if everybody's suffering, you know what, I'm also going to suffer.

2:09 Everybody's getting the COVID. I'm also going to get COVID. You know, everybody else is using the job, I'm also going to lose their job. So after reason, why we actually go through something, it's because we are made up a mind that we're going to go through it. That's what I'm trying to say. Don't have to have a made up mind that you're actually going to go through it. Sometimes you may not actually go through it at all. No, let me give you a classic example right in the Bible. One of the biggest famines that took place in the Book of Genesis, and so many countries were affected because of this famine.

2:43 So many countries, not just one region, but so many countries were affected because of this famine. It was so severe all around. But there was one man who did not have to suffer in this famine. And you know who that was Joseph. See, when everybody else was having a nice time, he suffered. You remember when his brothers they were just enjoying their life and in the comforts of their home. They just put Joseph in trouble. They threw him into a pit, and then later they sold him as a slave. He suffered while his brothers were enjoying the comforts of home, of his home.

3:23 Actually, yes, everybody else was living a normal life, but Joseph was going through so many turmoils and turmoils. He went through turmoils because of his brother. He was slave and then he was wrongly accused, he was put in the prison. His life was so unfair in so many different ways. But when the famine came, I wanted to understand. Everybody else suffered, but Joseph so through the famine. He was able to go higher than the famine. Are you can know what I'm saying. He reigned over the famine. What I want you to understand is, as a child of God, when you say yes to God, yes, you will have challenges, things that other people are not going through.

4:10 You will go through like like I said, with the example with Joseph, right when everybody else was having a normal, normal life, Joseph was going through a lot of trouble. He went through a lot of heartache and pain. He went through so many tough years. But when everybody else was suffering because of this famine, when everybody else was in a season of uncertainty, when everybody else was going through a moment when things were not looking fine, Joseph was able to soar through it. He was able to reign over it.

4:46 He was able to come out victorious, and he became a solution to the problem faced by those nations. I want to hear a guise to understand today right because you give your life to Jesus. Yes, you go through tough times. We all go through tough times, and especially when you have a call of God upon your life, you go through tough times even more than what other people are going through. For them, it's a normal life. But you're going through a hell of a time, just like Joseph went through. Maybe that's how it's been so long for you.

5:18 But what I want you to understand is when everybody else is looking and scratching their heads wondering how to tackle this big problem, I want you to understand that when you look up to the Lord, you don't have to settle for and say, oh, you know what, another big problem. I don't know what I'm going to do. No, I want you to have this new perspective. You are going to be the problem solver. You are going to be the one who's bringing the solution. You're going to be the one soaring through this.

5:45 You're going to use this, this this famine, or this pandemic or this season that everybody else is going through, maybe in the world at large, or maybe in your community or in your church, your neighborhood, wherever this, this, whatever trouble is happening everywhere around you. As a child of God, you're going to sow about that, and you're going to use that position to say people that that's the choice of word. The Bible says that Joseph, because of where he went, he was able to say people through the famine and today, through the pandemic, through people losing their jobs, through so much of fear and turmoil and anxiety and worry and frustration, through all the unfair things happening around the world, through the calamities, through the wars, rages raging all over.

6:41 I want you to understand when you dig your heels in and say, God, use me, use me to so through this, use me to reign over this, use me to be a blessing to others. I'm telling you, guys, what is a problem for everyone else will be the platform God uses to bless you, to use you to be a blessing to other people. Amen. So stop having that whole mindset that you have that you know what everybody's suffering. I'm also going to suffer. Take that mindset out and say God, I've suffered enough. Joseph suffered enough when he was going through the other times.

7:23 This was the moment for him to shine. This was the moment for him to raise a bow. And I'm telling you you will also experience such moments when you say yes to God. Those problems are going to become the platforms God is going to use to not only bless you, but for you to be a greater blessing. Amen, God bless you.
