No Quit in Prosperity

I was at a meeting today and I was chillin when someone in the room asked me to say a few words of encouragement. Not knowing what to say, I looked around the room trying to find some inspiration and I looked at the chalkboard. Scribbled on the side were these words: "Success does not come overnight, but comes through overcoming constant trials......." After reading this, it was layed on my heart to share the following. I think about the story of Joseph in the Bible. I dont want to tell you the story because I dont want to rob you of the breakthrough this story provides (in other words read it. Its in Genesis.lol). In short, Joseph was a man who was destined to do great things and be a great man in God. THough this was his destiny he was faced with many trials, tests, and much adversity. His blood brothers, full of jealousy, turned thier backs on him and left him to die. He was betrayed by others and eventually ended up in Prison. Through all of this he never let go of his faith and continued to perservere and pray. In the end he became a King and when presented with the opportunity to get retribution on those who betrayed him, he blessed them instead of shunning them. I say all of this to make this point. How you handle your adversity lets God know how you are going to handle your blessing. Joseph could have given up but he didnt. He also could have been spiteful to those who betrayed him but he didnt. He just continued to live the only way he knew how. I dont want to make this a drawn out note but I encourage you to PERSERVERE!!!!!! There is NO QUIT IN PROSPERITY........ How can you win if you quit. Remember this and stay encouraged.
