  SETBACK Genesis 39:10-21 Devotional:- “Then Joseph's master took him and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were confined. And he was there in the prison” (v.20) NKJV Most people do not yet understand that what we call a setback, a lot of time is a set-up to set us to our top. Setback, as viewed by people, is demotion, but it is rather an opportunity to retreat and re-fire for greater victory. When the purpose of a thing is not known, men are bound to abuse it. Today, we read about Joseph, who was thanking God for being promoted from a slave to a house overseer. He always tried to put his best into his assignment, and by this, he always had joy. At this time, the enemy wanted to damage his testimony by the temptation of sin, but he stood his ground for God (2 Timothy 2:22). But then he faced something like a demotion to prison. This looks like an act of wickedness from God that he was trying to please, but Joseph knew that there is a price for righteo...

PURPOSE OF HIS PRESENCE

PURPOSE OF HIS PRESENCE 

Genesis 39:1-6
Devotional: "The LORD was with Joseph, and he was a successful man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian” (V. 2)


    We so much love the presence of the Lord, but we need to understand it's purpose. Today, because we don't know the purpose of the presence of the Lord, we are not fulfilling the desires of the Lord concerning us. God is disappointed in many Christians because we have so much allow the work of the devil to be more pronounced in the world than the work of God. The reason God want to be with us is that His invisible glory might become visible through us (Psalm 19:1-3) This will happen as we work or step out with His presence with us.

People of Gerar could see the presence of God in the life of Abraham because of his work (Genesis 21:22). It was the work of Isaac that made visible the presence of God in his life (Genesis 26:16; Genesis 26:26-29). This was also visible in the life of Jacob (Genesis 30:27). The same with Joseph and Daniel.

Friend, God want to prove His presence in your work and result. That is why you and I must work diligently by faith to prove the presence of the Lord with us. The presence of the Lord will always produce favor and promotion when we work with the right motive. Let God show His presence in your life this year. This is by your good work of faith in the possibility grace of God (Matthew 5:16) And you shall be blessed. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, let your presence speak in my work from now.

“WHEN OUR WORK PROVE GOD’S PRESENCE, THEN THE WORLD WILL TURN TO GOD”

MASTER’S MINAS Luke 19:11-27 Devotional:- “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come” (V. 13) NKJV      The word of God instructs us to do business. The Bible did not advise us to do business but it commanded us. That is why it would be wrong for you and me to be without a business. That makes idleness a crime against self (1 Thessalonians 4:11). Business is whatever you are doing to earn income. God will not accommodate idleness with anyone because He invested heavily in us.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.

COURAGE

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
