EXTRAORDINARY SLAVE
Genesis 39

“The LORD was with Joseph, and he was a successful man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. 3 And his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD made all he did to prosper in his hand. 4 So Joseph found favor in his sight, and served him. Then he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put under his authority.”(Genesis 39:2- 4) The statement, “the Lord was with Joseph” is repeated two other times in the same chapter. The Lord was with him because the enemies choose to be against him. The enemies choose to be against him because the Lord was set to build him up for His divine agenda. As an acclaimed believer, every time you are set to live for the glory of Lord, the enemy will set to offset what the Lord wants to do in your life. In the case of Joseph, the enemy cannot be more powerful because the enemy’s choice to be against Joseph is what provoked the Lord to be for Joseph. The Lord was with Joseph and it was not hidden but visible enough for all who were around him to see it. Joseph became a light that could not be hidden but made to shine. Is the Lord with you in all that you are doing? All three times that it is mentioned that the Lord was with Joseph, there was mercy, favor, prosperity, success and authority in place in the life of Joseph. When God is for you, no man can be against you except you being against yourself by walking outside of His Word. It is important for believers of the Word to know that the Word of God is forever true and He will not fail to perform His Word. God is the only One God who turns around the evil intent of the enemy to come out for good. As a worshiper and obedient child of the Most High God who is faithful in walking the walk, you can be assured that all the wicked plans that have been set up against you for years, months or weeks, by your closest ones are what God will use to turn around your stagnation into motion. God is waiting and all that He did not allow will not be allowed in your life. Indeed it does not matter where the enemy has set you up to be. When the Lord is with you, His presence will raise you up.
Prayer for today: Lord my God I ask today that You endue me with the grace to be a true worshiper and obedient child of God.
