MFM DAILY DEVOTIONAL 22ND JANUARY 2023
We have been on the study of the life of Joseph of Arimathea. Today, we want to explore another area of his life that could be of great benefit to us.
Joseph of Arimathea’s life exemplified foresight, preparation and correct positioning. He was a man of foresight. He saw beyond the immediate and then aligned to fulfil prophecy. “For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption” (Psalms 16:10). A prophecy had gone forth that Jesus’ body must not see corruption. However, prophecies do not just get fulfilled on their own without the cooperation of man with God to make them happen.
Joseph positioned himself aright to be the one to honour Jesus’ body by giving Him a befitting burial and not allowing Him to see corruption. He stepped out in faith ahead of time by hewing out a new tomb out of the rock to bury Jesus.
While Jesus’ twelve disciples were scattered abroad, clueless on the foregoing circumstances, Joseph had prepared and correctly positioned himself to be there for Jesus. He gave his very best to the Master and wrote his name in gold letters. We are able to read about Joseph today not because he was rich or prominent but because he did not allow the King of Glory to see corruption.
He gave the Son of God a grand burial. Another person who correctly positioned herself as such was Jael. Prophecy had equally gone ahead that a woman would kill Sisera, the enemy of God’s people. She positioned herself to fulfil this prophecy (Judges 4:9,17-22).
Beloved, what do you see? When God is looking for a vessel to use and send, will you be available? How prepared are you for the place God is preparing for you? May we always be at the right place at the right time, doing the right things, in Jesus’ name.
