Topic: Be not weary in Well doing
Text: Genesis 39, 40 & 41
Key Text: Genesis 41:39 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:
Discussion: Joseph was sold into slavery by his Brethren, then he came into Potiphar house, the master had a good comment of him, (see Genesis 39:3 -6 ) this made him to leave all that he had in Joseph's hand.
Then came a temptation: his master's wife cast her eyes on him, desiring him to lie with her, but Joseph knew the thing was wickedness against God, many young men of his age would have taken the offer to save thier Job, but not Joseph, he ran, leaving his garment in her hands, when she attempted to force him, this landed him in prison.
Yet in the prison "...the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it." (Genesis 39:22) how many can still continue to work for God having Lost something, while standing for God.
Then he met two fellow prisoners, who were sad, they had a terrible dream, rather than leave them to thier predicament, since they were all prisoners, he saw the need to help them calm their fear, he asked for their dream and told them sincerely, he could have tried to be too Pitiful by telling the Baker a lie, but that would have rubbished the testimony of him. How many preachers will like to hide the truth from their members about Hell and Coming Judgement, on the disguise that they don't want to cause fear in their congregation, such are in the danger of Hell themselves with their congregation.
The Butler forgot Joseph, but God raised the need for Joseph, Pharaoh had a dream, which none could interprete, and Joseph was Remembered, and he ascended the throne as the second in command in the strange Land. That is your story, you shall ascend the throne, even where you have been tagged a stranger.
Challenge: Don't giveup on Doing Good, it will take you to the Throne
Prayer: Make me Lord a solution to my Generation
