Welcome to Your New Month of November 2023.
Dear Believers,
Greetings in the name of our Lord Almighty. As we enter the month of November 2023, I want to share with you a reflection on the significance of the number eleven in the Bible and how it can inspire us in our faith journey.
In the Bible, the number eleven is associated with both disorder, chaos, and judgment, as well as a rise to power. The story of Joseph, the eleventh son of Jacob, exemplifies this duality. His life was marked by trials and tribulations, including betrayal by his own brothers, enslavement, and unjust imprisonment. Yet, in the end, Joseph's faith, integrity, and God's providence led him to rise to power as the second-in-command in Egypt.
Joseph's journey reminds us that even in times of disorder and chaos, when we face trials and judgment from the world, we must hold onto our faith and trust in the Lord Almighty. Just as Joseph's rise to power was ordained by God, we too may experience moments of elevation, where we are called to serve with wisdom and grace.
This November, let us reflect on Joseph's ability to pass judgment wisely and with compassion as the second-in-command in Egypt. In our own lives, as we rise into positions of influence and authority, let us remember that our true power comes from God. We are called not only to make sound judgments but also to extend mercy and compassion to those in need, just as Joseph did when he forgave his brothers who had wronged him.
As believers, we carry a message of hope and redemption. We are called to be beacons of light in a world that can sometimes seem dark and chaotic. Let us rise to our positions with humility and with the understanding that our ultimate judgment rests with the Lord Almighty.
May this month of November be a period of introspection and rejuvenation for each of us. Let us be steadfast in our faith, drawing inspiration from the life of Joseph, and remain prepared to embrace positions of influence, all the while recognizing that ultimate judgment rests in the hands of the Lord.
In HIS Service,
