As we roundup our teaching series on #LoveStruck @elevationng , I am speaking on the topic "Loving In Hostile Territories." #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
Text: Genesis 37:1-8
Joseph was hated by his brothers for two reasons that were none of his: He was loved because he was the son of Jacob's old age. Secondly, because God gave him dreams. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
Sometimes, we are hated for reasons that are beyond us. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
Instead of celebrating Joseph's capacity to dream, he was being treated with animosity by His brothers. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
Imagine having a sense of vision at the age of 17. Joseph was able to articulate his visions but he was still hated.

In Genesis 26:12-22, we see a similar situation with Isaac. Isaac was a businessman, blessed but hated by his peers. They did everything to deter him but Isaac had a positive disposition in spite of the hostilities.

As believers confronted with hostile situations, our actions must be based on revelations. We mustn't react based on the attitude of people around us. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
When the world is wicked, we have a choice- to react to our environment or choose LOVE above all else. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
As an heir turned slave, Jospeh had every reason to be vengeful & bitter. Sometimes in your career, you may feel neglected. Remember: the love of God is working things out for your good. Walk in love ALWAYS. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
God has a redemptive perspective to the situations happening around our lives. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
If Joseph's brother knew that selling him into slavery in Egypt would help push the realisation of his dreams, they wouldn't have sold him.

Love is owed. It is not a suggestion but a command. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
God's blessings in our lives has a redemptive plan and not a destructive agenda. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
Don't attract hostility to your life by living a wayward life or misappropriating God's blessings in your life. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
Don't stir up hostility. Just got a promotion? Be humble. New car? Remain thankful and modest in your attitude. Be reasonable, kind with your words and helpful, owing no man nothing but love. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
I pray for you that may every hostility around your life draw you nearer to God's plans, blessings and purpose for your life. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
Learn to walk in love. Love gives a redemptive chance for evil doers to repent. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
You may not let everyone into your home, but you can pray for them, help them and forgive them. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
Love preserves God's purpose and your future. Walking out of love can derail your future. You have a choice. Choose to forgive. Choose love. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
May God heal your heart to love again in Jesus name. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
Without love you cannot maximise your destiny. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
Receive grace to maximize your destiny. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
You may be in a situation you didn't choose. Look at it this way, God may want to use this situation to bless you regardless of the circumstance. Seek a divine perspective to love when faced with wickedness. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
There no viable alternative to love. We must love. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
The Lord will shield and protect you. Your life is supernaturally preserved. God will come through for you in Jesus name. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning #ElevationNG
Want to be saved? Say this prayer: Lord Jesus, I come to you today. I need a saviour for I cannot save myself. I am a sinner, heal my heart and call me your own. I declare I am a child of God and your spirit flows in me in Jesus name. #LivingInHostileTerritories #SundayMorning
