“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:” Ecclesiastes 3:1
Text — Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
Message
AIbert Einstein was a German-born physicist (someone who develops physics theories) widely known as one of the greatest scientists in the world. This great scientist once said: “I am thankful for all those who said ‘No’ to me. It’s because of them I’m doing it myself.” Life is filled with ups and downs. There are times we get disappointed by those we trust or feel could help us out of some unpleasant situations.
Joseph’s brother hated him because he was their father’s favourite son and purposely sold him into slavery to see what would become of his dreams. Little did they know that they were pushing him into the fulfillment of the dreams. God has a purpose for everything that happens to us. Joseph later became a Prime Minister who through his office and divine arrangement, kept many generations alive during famine. Whatever happens at every stage of your life, always remember that God has a purpose for it. His thoughts towards you are thoughts of peace to give you an expected end. Cheer-up.
