1 Chronicles 5.2 “Yet Judah prevailed over his brothers, and from him came a ruler, although the birthright was Joseph’s.” [/pull_quote_center]
Reuben the firstborn of Israel, but because he defiled his father’s bed, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph. You know, Joseph was the preferred one, he was the one loved by his father, the top dog; so even though he was the eleventh son, the birthright was given to him. But, the Bible says that Judah prevailed over his brothers, and from him came a ruler, although the birthright was Joseph’s. That’s interesting!
Judah was not the preferred one; Judah was not the favourite; Judah was not the one expected to make it; Judah was not supposed to be the head; he was not even next after Reuben, he was the fourth child! But he prevailed over his brothers and became the head!
God wants me to tell you today that you will prevail! You will prevail at home! You will prevail in the office! You will prevail in your country! You will prevail in life! You will prevail in school! In the name of Jesus! It doesn’t matter their perception of you right now; it doesn’t matter where they have relegated you to; it doesn’t matter if so many people arrived before you; it doesn’t matter if it’s not yet your turn; or if you’re not the favourite; you will prevail over all others in the name of Jesus! Receive the grace to overtake and to prevail now, in Jesus name! Amen!
