DON'T CHEAT THE PROCESS

Psalms105:19 Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.

When God revealed the future to Joseph, he was happy and he may have thought he would have a smooth sail to his destination. Little did he know that a process was involved before entering into destiny. The suffering phase was the making phase in preparation for his glorious future so it is for every man of great destiny. He had the opportunity to cheat the process and exit the suffering. If he had slept with Potiphar's wife, he may have become a pampered servant whose pain and suffering would be relieved momentarily by his "sugar mummy" but he would have remained on that spot for a long time without smelling the palace.

Another possibility of exit from the process was for him to return to his father's house. I think it was possible for Joseph to run away. Even if he doesn't know the way home, if he had asked a few persons, they'll lead him there yet he stayed back in Egypt where his vision training school was. When God gives a vision, there are processes involved before the fulfilment of that vision. You can't cheat the process and expect to get to your destination. No matter how anointed a woman is, if she gets pregnant, the process of fertilization, implantation and foetal development before delivery takes 38-40 weeks. She can't cheat the process. A baby delivered before term would require incubation to survive. That shows that process can't be cheated.

God is not in a hurry. He doesn't neglect the means to arrive at an end in a hurry. To him, the means is as important as the end. He is concerned about processes involved in the making of a man who will ultimately fulfill his vision. Jesus is God, in his incarnation, he had to go through the process. He would have started preaching from the day of his birth yet he waited for 30 solid years before launching out. God took him through the required process before launching him out. Only processed products have market value. Stop trying to cut corners to fulfil destiny. Short cut will cut you short.

Action point

Father, I submit myself to your process in Jesus name.
