FAITH CAPSULE: In your life, is there any situation of dungeon that is crowding you?

Genesis 41

Dungeon is described as, a strong, dark prison or cell, usually underground, as in a medieval castle. Joseph became prime minister after spending times in the dungeon. Joseph’s story was changed when Chief Butler mentioned about him before Pharaoh. It is written, “Then 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.” (Genesis 41:14)
In your life, is there any situation of dungeon that is crowding you?
It does not matter how you get into the dungeon or how long you have been in the dungeon. However, it matters that if you will look up to God today, He will look down to bring you out of your dungeon situation. God is worthy to be trusted for deliverance from dungeon situation. Isaiah 45:22 buttressed, “Look up to Me and be saved, all you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.” Just look up to God for the termination of your dungeon situation. It was Joseph’s obedience to his father’s errand that led him into dungeon. Joseph was sent from the Valley of Hebron to Shechem to check for his brother’s well-being. At his arrival his brothers welcomed him by being placed in the pit. Joseph was later picked up from pit for sale to a company of Ishmaelite as he was became a slave. Joseph’s brothers envy prompted them to give up Joseph for sales.
As a slave, while he was serving in his master’s house, the wife laid a false charge of sexual harassment on him and he ended in the prison. Joseph did not bargain for the entire unfavorable situation that came his way while obeying his father. In the prison, Joseph interpreted favorable and unfavorable dreams for confined Chiefs (Butler and Baker). The dream’s interpretation came out to be true and Joseph pleaded to the chief to remember him. Joseph was forgotten for two years in the prison by chief.
God will always remember His children at an appointed time but man will not remember man. Be encouraged that God does have His own plan in your time of dungeon situation. Know that such is life and it is full of ups and downs but God that is up will lift you up at His appointed time. At the time of God’s appointed time deliverance over Joseph to come out of dungeon, there was no devil under heaven to deny Joseph’s deliverance. Pharaoh’s dream was interpreted by none other than Joseph. It was the Chief Butler’s remembrance of Joseph before Pharaoh, that provoked the story of Joseph as great testimony for the rest of his life.

Prayer for today: Ask God for the speedy of His appointed time for your change of story to the glory of God.
