BE CAREFUL OF THE OLDER BROTHER
If the older brother gets hold of you, you are done because you will not be able to fulfill God's call and you will die prematurely. Samson gave Delilah a chance and he ended up gouged his eyes and died without accomplishing God's purpose (Judges 16:18 -21). You too must resist the influence of the older brother and separate yourself from him because it will destroy you. If you cannot stay away from him make sure he is destroyed completely otherwise you will not blossom.
Remember the story of Joseph and the
wife of his master Potiphar. Potiphar's wife liked Joseph and wanted him to sleep
with her; Joseph rejected her and ran away so as not to offend God. However,
one day the woman conspired against her master, and when he heard his wife's
words, his anger rose. He put Joseph in prison in the place where the king's
prisoners were kept (Genesis 39:7- 20)
Joseph accepted everything in order to fulfill God's purpose for him. He
eventually became the second ruler after Pharaoh in the land of Egypt.
Swahili Translation:
Kaka mkubwa akikupata umekwisha kwani hutaweza kutimiliza wito wa Mungu kwako na utakufa mapema kabla ya wakati. Samsoni alimpa nafasi Delila akaishia kutobolewa macho na kufa kabla ya wakati wake pasipo kukamilisha kusudi la Mungu. (Waamuzi 16:18 -21). Nawe kataa ushawishi na mashauri ya kaka mkubwa na jitenge naye kwa sababu yatakuangamiza. Kama huwezi kujitenga naye hakikisha anaangamia kabisa vinginevyo hutachanua.
Kumbuka kisa cha Yusufu na mke wa bwana wake Potifa. Mke wa Potifa alimtamani Yusufu akataka kulala naye; Yusufu alimkataa na kumkimbia ili asimkosee Mungu. Hata hivyo siku moja yule mwanamke alimfanyia fitina kwa bwana wake na aliposikia maneno ya mkewe hasira yake iliwaka. Alimtia Yusufu gerezani mahali walipofungwa wafungwa wa mfalme (Mwanzo 39:7- 20) Yusufu alikubali yote ili afikie kusudi la Mungu juu yake. Hatimaye akawa mkuu wa pili baada ya Farao katika nchi ya Misri.
