Message to Lioness Rising Ladies Ministry

Mar 5, 2015    Pastor Rob Goyette

Summary: The sermon explored the prophecy of Joseph in Genesis 49, drawing parallels between Joseph's fruitfulness and our own calling as women in the church. It emphasized how we, like branches of a fruitful tree, are positioned to grow beyond our current boundaries and make a significant impact for God's kingdom. The message highlighted the importance of staying rooted in Christ while courageously extending our influence beyond our comfort zones.


Takeaways:

- We are positioned by the well of living water (God's presence) for growth and fruitfulness.

- Despite opposition (the archers), God strengthens us and uses challenges to build our confidence in Him.

- As branches running over the wall, we are called to boldly step into new territories of influence and ministry.


The message was a powerful reminder of our unique role in God's plan. It encouraged us to embrace our identity as daughters of the King, secure in His love, and empowered to make His word public. Let's continue to support one another as we step out in faith, knowing that our actions today are paving the way for future generations of believers.


May we all be inspired to "run through a troop and leap over a wall" in pursuit of God's calling on our lives.


In this powerful message, we're invited to explore the profound picture of branches running over walls, drawing from the prophecy of Joseph in Genesis 49.

We're reminded that, like Joseph, we're planted by the well of God's presence, we too are rooted in Christ, drawing strength from His living water, nurtured and protected. However, our growth isn't meant to be contained – we're called to extend our influence beyond the safety of our walls. This message challenges us to recognize the unique role we play in God's kingdom, especially as women of faith. It encourages us to embrace our spiritual authority and to boldly pursue the inheritance God has for us, much like the daughters of Zelophehad in Numbers 27. As we drink deeply from God's presence, we're empowered to overcome opposition, silence the 'noise of the archers,' and courageously step into our divine calling. This teaching invites us to see ourselves as extensions of Christ, ready to impact the world beyond our comfortable boundaries.

It's a call to action, urging us to break free from limitations and fears, trusting in the security we have in Christ to boldly pursue our spiritual inheritance.
