When we convert ourselves to Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus Christ), YHWH puts in us His Holy Spirit to assist us in our spiritual growth with the spiritual gifts for the common good as the bible says in 1Cor 12v7-11: But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
Each of us has gifts with which the Lord uses him according his call, sometimes we wonder why our gifts benefit only other while we suffer, everything we do for others is successful, but for ourselves, it is the failure. We first need to be a blessing to others before being blessed by God, but we must not discourage us or go seek solutions elsewhere, as some do when entering a business partnering with the impious in order to get out of problems, others go up to make pacts with the devil to have success in their business, it is not surprising that their fire goes out, so that these persons had received the gifts of God for the service.
The attitude we must have is that of Joseph who, bringing in him the gifts of God, was rejected and sold by his own brothers, despite this, he was a blessing for the man who had bought him as a slave.
Gn 39v4-5: And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand. And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field. Joseph refused to defile himself with the wife of his master Potiphar, that which earned him the prison because she wrongly accused him, beloved we can also being victims of malicious people and falsely accused, despite the power of God in us, that does not mean that God has abandoned us, this is just a testing time fixed by Him that we have through.
Joseph, despite it was in prison, God was used him with the gift that he had for interpret dreams, so everywhere we will be long as the Lord is with us, He will use us, even in suffering, so why do not wait for God's promises be fulfilled in our lives instead of looking for shortcuts?
When the time comes for God blessing you, it is Himself who will provide the circumstances, so that you enter into your elevation.
For elevation of Joseph it was necessary that God gives to Pharaoh a dream that none of his magicians could not interpret, it was necessary that Pharaoh do calls to Joseph, the slave prisoner for interpret his dream, and that day, it is the gift that God had put in Joseph which manifested (the gift of interpreting dreams) the gift that was in him during he was suffering, this is the same gift that God will use to bless him, it is with this gift that Joseph saved his father and his brothers from starvation to bring them in Egypt, this gift which caused the hatred of his brothers against him, it is by this gift that they was saved from starvation.
Ps 126v6: He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
Let us be faithful and YHWH will bless us in His time, we have no need to force our destiny in compromising us. As long we carry the seed of YHWH in us, let us be sure He will provide for us because His Name is also "YHWH YIREH". Shalom!
