THE PIT: HAD NO WATER! YOUR BATTLES HAVE LIMITS!

BASIC SCRIPTURES: ZECHARIAH 9: 9-11; GENESIS 37:18-24.

Welcome to today’s devotional with the God who is the Master Planner and Master Strategist and He is up to something splendid in your life this year! The Holy Ghost wants you to note the last verses of today’s 2 Scripture Genesis 37:24: “And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.” And Zechariah 9:11 says: As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant, I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water. Note this: “AND THE PIT WAS EMPTY; THERE WAS NO WATER IN IT!” Note also: “PIT WHEREIN IS NO WATER” The question is: Why did the pit they threw Joseph into have no water? Why did the pit mentioned in today’s first scripture have no water until the Blood of the Everlasting Covenant spoke for them? The answer is: God will not allow you to go through a temptation that is bigger than you.

Yes, the all wise God will never allow you go through a battle that will overwhelm, swallow up or drown you. Oh! I believe that if the pit they threw Joseph in had water, it may probably have drowned him and led to his premature death. So God in His wisdom knew that Joseph could not swim and He made sure that the pit had no water! Also, if the pit had water, there may have been issues like water-borne diseases, skin infections, encounter with dangerous reptiles which would have also led to Joseph’s premature death! That was his wicked brothers’ evil intention – his DEATH. But Halleluiah! Thank you Jesus! God placed a boundary and a limit to his pit battles. And what the Holy Ghost is saying to a user of today’s devotional: EVERY ALLOWED BATTLE HAS A BOUNDARY! There is a limit to every battle you face! Yes! YOUR TRIALS HAVE LIMITS! In this year of Divine Elevation, when your haters are planning, God will LIMIT THEM! The pit was dry in order to put a limit on Joseph’s battles.

AS 2020 marches on and no matter what lies ahead. note that God will not allow you to go through any battle that will not promote you at last 1 Corinthians 10:13 says:” There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it ” No matter the delays, betrayals, disappointments, the scandals/lies against you, no matter those plotting your downfall, there is a God who has the SEVEN EYES; He is the Almighty God and He is watching over your life, family and ministry this year and He will never allow you to go through any temptation, trial or battle that will end your chapter in Jesus name. Hold on! Look up! Your battles have limits!
