Glorious Living Devotional : Jan 22

Topic: A Dream Come True.

Text: Genesis 42, 43, 44 & 45

Key Text: Genesis 42:6  And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph's brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth. 

Discussion: Joseph had risen to the throne of Egypt as Governor, and like the Dream he had his Brothers came, bowing down before him, his countenance has changed, and his Brothers could not recognize him.

   What a lesson to learn, that no one can stop God's plan for your life, you may go through the valley, the wilderness, and the storms of life, yet if you will stand patiently with God, you shall be enthroned.

   Now, consider it, what if Joseph had protected his job by committing immorality with Potiphar's  wife, he might have had the opportunity to remain in the Job as a servant for life, without seeing his Dream Come True, the truth is that YOU ALONE HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE YOUR DESTINY BY YOUR ACTION. Being in the center of God's will brings you closer to achieving your dreams

   Another Lesson is the treat that Joseph gave to his Brethren, despite the evil intention of his Brethren, he forgave them and welcomed them, there are times when some people who hurt you in the past, are in need of your help, never pay them in thier coin rather, render good for evil.

Challenge: You have the control, to go the way of your destiny, by staying with a God

Prayer: I receive supernatural strength to reach my Destiny

Glorious Living Devotional : Jan 21

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
