The Third Day

THE THIRD DAY< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Genesis 40:20-23

 

It does not matter what, how long, or where you have been kept down, it is certain that when your third day comes, you will rise. Pray for your third day and it will prevail. When Pharaoh became angry with his two officers, the chief butler and the chief baker, he sent them to prison (Genesis 40:2). There was no indication of what the offense was, but the placement was from chief to prison. Have you at anytime felt that it is over? You have lost a ground that have held you high in the community or among colleagues. It is clear that there will be no way for you to get back to your previous position. Prison is the least expected place in your journey of life because your entire walk has been in abiding with the law of the land. Prison, confinement, hindrance or denial could have come in a way or any form to deny and reduce you where you have always been elevated. A butler in PharaohÕs palace descended from the position of chief to prison. The story is easy to read but not easy to live. There is always a way out for every child of God whose righteousness is in Christ Jesus. The only way out is in prayer. The Bible declared that the effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much (James < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>5:16). Take it to the Lord in prayer that your third day will arrive. The butlerÕs third day arrived and prison life was history. Genesis 40:20, ÒNow it came to pass on the third day, which was PharaohÕs birthday, that he made a feast for all his servants; and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and chief baker among his servants. Then he restored the chief butler to his butlership again, and he placed the cup in PharaohÕs hand.Ó  God will restore you and you shall regain all that has been lost in multiple folds in Jesus name.
