Gen 41:52 And the name of the second he called Ephraim: “For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
God has it in his power to raise a man/woman higher above the level of ordinary happiness than he/she has ever sunk below it. Joseph must have reached a level where he concluded that all things are of God. He new for sure that it was God who brought him to Egypt and it was him who advanced him the dignity and power he now possessed and made him fruitful.
Ephraim’s name confessed that God had made Joseph fruitful in a land where he had once been treated as a despised felon. In the same land where God had caused him to be afflicted for thirteen good years; six years in the house of Potiphar and seven years in Prison, God had made him fruitful in grace, in Holiness, in humility, in good works, in family and even in wealth generation.
Oftentimes, afflictive seasons are the most fruitful times in our lives. When we walk with God through our most trying moments, even afflictions becomes fruitful. God has a way of of turning them around to our advantage. He will make way where there seems to be no way! As face the challenges that come your way, may Yahweh make you twice fruitful in Jesus name.
