Gen 37:20 (NKJV) \u2013 \u201cCome therefore, let us now kill him and cast him into some pit; and we shall say, \u2018Some wild beast has devoured him.\u2019 We shall see what will become of his dreams!\u201d<\/p>\n
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. Joseph\u2019s dreams were a revelation of divine purpose, yet his brothers\u2019 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.<\/p>\n
Throughout Scripture, we find this pattern repeated. Moses faced Pharaoh\u2019s hardness of heart, David endured Saul\u2019s envy, Daniel stood firm amid Babylon\u2019s decrees, and even Jesus met resistance from the very people He came to save. Each faced opposition not because they were out of God\u2019s will, but because they were directly in the center of it. Resistance often reveals relevance\u2014wherever there is divine motion, there will be demonic reaction. Yet, every force that rises against God\u2019s purpose ultimately becomes an instrument for its fulfillment.<\/p>\n
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 resistance\u2014human or hellish\u2014can ultimately prevail.<\/p>\n
