In the past, people’s criticism makes you feel bad about yourself.

In the past, you felt disgraced because of your once sinful lifestyle.

Today is the present and God has removed the reproach of your past.

He has opened the windows of heaven and has removed the barrenness from your life.

The Lord has restored your stolen goods.

You are no longer a reproach of the foolish.

The Egyptians of the past will no longer be your reproach.

And now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in You. Deliver me from all my transgressions; do not make me the reproach of the foolish. (Psalms 39:7-1 NKJV)

The birth of Joseph removed the reproach from his mother.

A barren woman in those days was considered a disgrace to the family and community. She was ridiculed because of her inability to conceive.

However, one day the Lord answered her prayers and opened her womb and she conceived and gave birth to a son.

She named him Joseph, which means “Jehovah has added.”

The Lord removed the reproach of her barrenness and honor her with a son.

Joseph was a special child because he grew up to become a blessing not only to his family but to the entire world.

 Then God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her and opened her womb. And she conceived and bore a son, and said, “God has taken away my reproach.”  So she called his name Joseph, and said, “The Lord shall add to me another son.” (Genesis 30:22-24 NKJV)

The Lord has removed your reproach and is giving you double blessings for your troubles.

Receive of the Lord, today.

Beverley has been serving the Lord since she was a child. At an early age, she recognized that God had a special plan for her life, but it was not until in her adulthood that she surrendered her total life to God and accepted the mandate that God placed on her life. The Lord called her into His Kingdom to be an encourager, intercessor, teacher, scribe, priest, and to proclaim the Word of God. Since then, Beverly has established a blog to teach us to become the oil and wine. The oil and wine are purified and mature products, which is the advanced level that the Lord expected of us. In 2017, Beverley published her first book, Harm Not The Oil And Wine. In it, she described her trials and how God helped her to overcome them, and to live more victoriously. The book also exposed the enemy of our souls with detailed information about his past defeats and future extinction. Wright spents most of her time studying the Bible to know the truth of God’s Word. She believes that only God’s truth can expose the deception of the enemy, and uproot and tear down spiritual strongholds.
