“And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art” Genesis 41:39

Text — Genesis 41: 14-16,37-40

Message

Joseph found himself in prison because his master’s wife told a lie against him. This unjust punishment and disgrace did not make Joseph change his good character. He still remained holy, honest and humble. He continued to trust God Who had given him the dreams that predicted his future greatness. God has good thoughts and plans for you also. Do not allow any negative thing that may come your way make you change your godly character. God is watching you and He will bring every plan He has for you to come to pass if you continue to trust and live for Him.

The dreams that God gave to Pharaoh were about the future preservation of Egypt and other places. God was about to confirm and perfect His plan for Joseph’s life by allowing him to go into prison. Someone mentioned him to the king in Egypt far away from his father’s home where he had been taken. Distance and time did not stop God’s planned promotion for Joseph. Be a beacon of light wherever you are.

Though the chief butler whom Joseph met in prison forgot about him when he was released, God did not forget him. He reminded the man about him at the appropriate time and Joseph was brought to stand before the king and interpret his dreams. This brought Joseph to the time and place of honour God had for him. He was able to interpret Pharaoh’s dreams and tell him what to do to save his nation. Pharaoh was happy and he promoted Joseph. God is ready to promote you if you continue to live a life of integrity and holiness.
