Quickly

QUICKLY< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Genesis 41:1-24

 

It does not matter any more or how long you have been in the dungeon or how you got into the dungeon. However, it matters that if you will look up to Him today, He will look down to bring you out of the dungeon quickly. Joseph was sent by his father Jacob from the Valley of Hebron to Shechem to look for the well being of his brothers. At JosephÕs arrival to where the brothers have been, his brothers sent him into the pit and later picked him up for sale to a company of Ishmaelites because of envy. While serving in his masterÕs house, the wife laid a false charge of sexual harrasment on him and he ended in the prison. Joseph did not bargain for the entire unfavorable situation that came his way while going to honor his fatherÕs request. While in prison, he interpreted favorable and unfavorable dreams for two Chiefs (Butler and Baker) that were confined by Pharaoh. The dreamÕs interpretation came out to be true. The chief forgot Joseph despiteÕs JosephÕs plead to the chief to remember him. After two years PharaohÕs need for dream interpretation called for the remembrance of Joseph by the Chief Butler. Have you been in an unfavorable situation that is least expected? Be encouraged that God does have His own plan of taking you through. Such is life and it is full of ups and downs but God that is up will lift you up at His divine timing. When it was time for Joseph to come out, there was no sign or any indication that he was to be released because it is the LordÕs doing and the same Lord God of mercy will show you mercy and give you favor this day in Jesus name. PharaohÕs dream demanded for an interpretation and none could interpret the dream. As a result, the Chief Butler remembered the prison dreamer and dream interpreter (Joseph). Chief Butler mentioned about Joseph to Pharaoh, ÒThen Pharaoh sent and called Joseph and they brought him quickly out of the dungeon; and he shaved, changed in his clothing, and came to Pharaoh.Ó (Genesis 41:14) Besides the fact that his release came quickly, his garment was also changed and he was shaved. Can you imagine Joseph coming out of the dungeon quickly and neat (changed and shaved)? In Jesus name, you will come out quickly and all that has become a stain on you will be cleansed and forever you will no longer go back into any self or manÕs created dungeon.
