Gen 37:20 (NKJV) β βCome therefore, let us now kill him and cast him into some pit; and we shall say, βSome wild beast has devoured him.β We shall see what will become of his dreams!β
Every destiny ordained by God encounters opposition before manifestation. The presence of resistance is not proof of divine absence, but evidence of divine investment. When God marks a person for greatness, hell often marks them for attack. Josephβs dreams were a revelation of divine purpose, yet his brothersβ jealousy became the furnace in which his destiny was refined. True destiny does not unfold on smooth paths; it matures through adversity. Resistance, in the hands of God, becomes the soil where purpose takes root and character grows strong.
Throughout Scripture, we find this pattern repeated. Moses faced Pharaohβs hardness of heart, David endured Saulβs envy, Daniel stood firm amid Babylonβs decrees, and even Jesus met resistance from the very people He came to save. Each faced opposition not because they were out of Godβs will, but because they were directly in the center of it. Resistance often reveals relevanceβwherever there is divine motion, there will be demonic reaction. Yet, every force that rises against Godβs purpose ultimately becomes an instrument for its fulfillment.
Therefore, let the believer not despair when resistance arises. Every pit, prison, or persecution is but a passage toward promotion. Destiny is not deterred by opposition; it is developed through it. The dream God plants in you will attract storms, but those storms cannot sink a vessel steered by divine promise. When God ordains a destiny, no resistanceβhuman or hellishβcan ultimately prevail.
