And the
LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of
his master the Egyptian (Genesis 39:2).
As a
Christian, no matter what happens around you, refuse to fret, fear or be
discouraged, because you’re the seed of Abraham. Always choose to see things
from that perspective. You might say, “But I’m going through difficult times
right now; I even just lost my job.” Still, refuse to be discouraged or
dismayed. In fact, if you’d only see from the perspective of who you really are
in Christ, you’d realise that you didn’t lose your job; the organisation
probably lost you!
You’re a
treasure, a gem, a star, and a champion! Your presence anywhere means
blessings, because you’re the blessed of the Lord! You own the world. Your
potentials, abilities, and wisdom are limitless! Your presence in an
organisation means blessings for the organisation and everyone in that
organisation.
Now, this
isn’t for the guy who’s ineffective at work and gets laid-off; no; I’m talking
about Abraham’s seed! Abraham’s seed is effective; he’s fruitful and productive
in every good work. Whatever he does prospers; that’s his heritage. This is how
you must think. Consider Joseph, even though he had been sold into slavery,
falsely accused and imprisoned, he was still a blessing, so much so that he was
placed in charge of all the other prisoners. Prior to that, as a slave in
Potiphar’s house, Potiphar recognised that God blessed him because of Joseph,
and made Joseph the overseer of his entire estate.
You’re
blessed and you carry the blessing. Where you go, God goes; what and whom you
bless, is blessed. Because of you, your school, neighbourhood, city or country
is blessed. Recall God’s Word to Abraham, “...and in thy seed shall all the
nations of the earth be blessed” (Genesis 26:4). That’s exactly what we do; we
convey and distribute blessings. Hallelujah!
PRAYER: Dear
Father, I thank you for blessing me and making me a blessing. You’ve made me
prosperous and effective; a blessing to this world, and a dispenser and
distributor of your righteousness, love, kindness and goodness, in Jesus’ Name.
Amen.
