Tuesday 4th September 2018 Morning Prayer Devotion
Scripture Reading:- Genesis 37:1-20
Topic:- Go Slow In Joseph’s Life
Text:- Genesis 37:8
The story of how Joseph rose to the top is a lesson for those who want to translate their dreams to reality. There were seven things that happened to Joseph before he could attain his destiny which are as follows:
1. His brothers envied him because their father loved Joseph more than the rest, Genesis 37:3-4; 37:8.
2. His brothers cast him into a pit and later sold him to the Ishmaelite, the Ishmaelite resold him to Portiphar, Genesis 37:12-36.
3. He became prosperous in the house of Portiphar and was made the overseer’s of his master’s property.
4. He escaped the temptation of his master’s wife. Portiphar’s wife tried against Joseph and he was consequently jailed, Genesis 39:1-18; 19:23.
5. He landed in the prison for being implicated but later was favoured and became popular in the prison, Genesis 39:19-23.
6. While in the prison, he found God’s favour and from there, he later became a governor in Egypt after interpreting Pharaoh’s dream, Genesis 40:41.
7. Finally, he became Governor in Egypt in realizing his dreams, Genesis 40-41.
May be your life too has been slowed down. These are what you will do to make your God-given dreams a reality.
1. Firstly, identify your dream i.e. dream big.
2. Thereafter, pursue the dream.
3. Don’t allow discouragement and don’t be idle.
4. Then work towards the dream i.e. don’t accept defeat or think it won’t come to pass on its own.
5. Never allow the devil to steal your dream by accepting whatever the devil brings before you to hinder you.
6. You may even fail at first attempt but never give up, keep pursuing it.
7. Prove what you have and never deviate from it but be yourself and remain focused.
Then victory will be yours. You may be slowed down, don’t give up, it is not over until it is over.
Prayer Points:-
1. Oh God! I know you have given me a dream, it must be realized, in the name of Jesus Christ.
2. I command, whatever that is standing on my God-given dream to materialize, disappear by fire, in the name of Jesus Christ.
3. Holy Ghost! You have given me a dream; let it come to pass in the name of Jesus Christ.
Have A Glorious Tuesday!
