TOPIC: FROM STORY TO GLORY
Read: Genesis 45:1-13
[1]Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren.[2]And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.[3]And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.
[4]And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.[5]Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.[6]For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest.[7]And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.[8]So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.[9]Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not:[10]And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children's children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast:[11]And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty.[12]And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you.[13]And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father hither.
MEMORISE: _So you shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that you have seen; and you shall hurry and bring my father_ (Genesis 45:13).
EXPOSITION
It is popularly said, if there is no event, then there will be no history. This simply means all the activities we are involved in the journeys of life will summarize our migration from story to glory, one day. Actually, man lost the original glory in the beginning. What remains thereafter is nothing, but flashes of glory. And only very significant few people struggle to attain it. The ultimate Christ, therefore, is our hope of glory in Jesus Christ.
Joseph’s life and time, educate a lot, about the story of a man, who passed through thick and thin to attain his destiny. Probably, you have lost and have been disappointed long enough. Listen to this, Joseph had been in the pit long enough, demoralized, humiliated, lied against and terrorized. But on a certain day, the Lord had appointed. His story changed. From the moment Pharoah’s dreams began to haunt him, the Lord began a process of change of status of Joseph. Stories that would lead to glory and land you in your destination are usually painful, seemingly long, discomforting, demoralizing and leaving the unsteady with the temptation to doubt the closeness, faithfulness and the unfailing power of God (Isaiah 26:1-3). All you need is God’s intervention which He has never denied His people. Be ready.
It really does not matter how long you have been on that sickness poverty, crises ridden marriage, decline in business, financial turbulence etc, declare it today that a wind of positive change blows. Your story will change for the better. The Lord who specialises in turning impossibility to possibility, is still very much around and present in your situation (Ps. 47:1). He will surely help you. Stay alerted!
PRAYER POINTS
1. Lord, I command that every long standing affliction in my life, family, career, and ministry be stopped, now in Jesus’ name.
2. Oh Lord, help couples who are passing through turbulent times to overcome.
3. Lord, create in our children new hearts to trust and obey You and their parents as they struggles to be somebody in life.
EXTRA READING FOR TODAY: Numbers 21:12 – 22:40; Mark 11:1 – 11:22
