In this life you will have tribulation, that’s not just a possibility, it’s more like a promise, but those trials and issues you face will serve to only make you more of an overcomer than you were before.
While I have faced enormous opposition in my personal life (and still do), one of the things that I have always watched God do, is to turn those opponents into TABLE BUDDIES!
Even the most staunch opponents that I have faced in my life have either come back to me and repented or have become close personal friends of mine.
WHEN A MAN’S WAYS PLEASE THE LORD, HE MAKES EVEN HIS ENEMIES TO BE AT PEACE WITH HIM. Proverbs 16:7
Once we realize that the war which we are waging is NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD (Ephesians 6:12), then we start realizing that those opposing us really don’t know what they’re doing. However, even with that in mind, God is setting the Table before you!
“YOU PREPARE A TABLE BEFORE ME IN THE PRESENCE OF MY ENEMIES. You anoint my head with oil; my [brimming] cup runs over.” Psalms 23:5
While you’re probably not going to be sitting at a physical table with your physical enemies, God is preparing one in the realm of the Spirit for you in their very sight. Upon that table will be every good and Perfect thing which God has Prepared for You While You’re here this side of Glory, including the Anointing Oil and an Overflowing Cup!
“EVERY GOOD GIFT AND EVERY PERFECT (free, large, full) GIFT IS FROM ABOVE; it comes down from the Father of all [that gives] light, in [the shining of] Whom there can be no variation [rising or setting] or shadow cast by His turning [as in an eclipse].” James 1:17
While Joseph went through some incredible trials in his life, because his ways pleased the Lord, He made even his enemies into his friends. We must always keep our eyes focused on Jesus Christ and see who our real enemies are because even though the enemy is using other people to persecute us and attack us, those people are blinded by the enemy and don’t even realize it.
“For the god of this world has blinded the unbelievers’ minds [that they should not discern the truth], preventing them from seeing the illuminating light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ (the Messiah), Who is the Image and Likeness of God.” 2 Corinthians 4:4
GOD IS FILLING YOUR TABLE WITH BLESSINGS as every attack, every personal criticism, every fiery dart, and every weapon which is formed; and THAT TABLE IS GOING TO BECOME A PLACE OF PROMOTION AND JUSTIFICATION IN THE DAYS AND TIMES AHEAD!
