Appointed for Glory

Text: Gen.37:1-4
More Lessons: I Cor.15:39-41

While some people from one region line up in the civil service for jobs, some of their classmates that they probably taught in class to pass are “appointed” without lining up. And the moment they are appointed, you don't call them by their names anymore. They are “His Excellency”. May Heaven agree to appoint you. The glory of the star is not the same as that of the moon which is also different from that of the sun.

There is a force which, when it comes upon a man, bypasses what men say, and launches you like a rocket. Before this year runs out, we will hear your name world wide, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. It will be your portion to be appointed. It is the will of God because if you look at all the men that God took to glory in the Scripture, the ones He gave beautiful colours were nobody after all. Let's start from Abel. Cain was the elder brother, Abel was the younger but God favoured the younger, Abel. God accepted his sacrifice and that made Cain angry to the point of killing his brother. Even after Abel died his influence on the earth abides to the New Testament. Can you imagine the voice of a dead man making impact on the throne of Heaven when the living cannot be heard? Then you look at the story of Joseph, one of the last in the family. His father loved him because he was the child of his old age; but he was not the youngest, Benjamin was still there. So it's not an issue of old age at all, it's favour.

Why wasn't Benjamin favoured nstead of Joseph? Joseph was brought out from the crowd to be favoured. You will be favoured among many! In Moses' family they were three, Aaron the eldest, Mariam was next, then Moses. God bypassed Aaron and called Moses. Then there came a day when Aaron and Mariam said to Moses, What do you even think about yourself? They conspired against Moses and God answered for Moses, ... if there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream Num.12:6.

Before God finished, Mariam became a leper. Moses had to plead with God to be merciful. God kept Mariam in that state for two weeks so that she could learn a lesson. You will be appointed for favour and glory, in Jesus’ name.
