IT IS YOUR PROBLEMS THAT WILL BRINGS OUT THE BEST FROM YOU,NO PROBLEMS NO PROMOTION! One faces persecutions, name-calling, rejection and isolation even though they are heaven-ordained for higher service. God allows one to suffer on the road to the throne as a way of preparing them for the challenges ahead of them as well as to bring them closer to God and reform them. We equated all our trials and tribulations to those of the biblical Joseph and Daniel. Daniel was taken captive by the Babylonians and was at one time thrown into a lions den for refusing to obey the kings orders. However, the lions did not harm him and from there he rose to become prime minister. Joseph was thrown into a pit by his brother and then subsequently sold into slavery in Egypt. He was later thrown into prison, but he emerged from prison to be the second in command after Pharaoh. God sometimes uses hard times to draw us to himself so that we can take proper position and possession in Him. For instance, at the time Joseph had a dream for his future, he was too young to appreciate the glory that was ahead of him. If Joseph had become a prime minister earlier, before getting to Egypt, he would have been too inexperienced to handle (the) position. So the hard times he went through were Gods way of preserving him for the glory ahead, If Joseph had not been in prison, he would not have had the contact that finally linked him to the throne in Egypt. These dark periods of his life gained him the necessary experience and maturity.
