And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled. And Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king’s prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison.
But the Lord was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison. Gen 39:19-21.
Please kindly refer to last week’s write up to enable you connect to the flow just in case you didn’t read it.
Please note, it’s always better to have Divine validation than public commendation. Men’s commendation depreciates with time but Divine validation profits and appreciates with time.
WHAT TO DO WHEN GOD BECOMES YOUR ONLY WITNESS:
1. Do all you can to prove your innocence but never struggle by all means to convince the opinionated. Joseph never did.
2. Resort to the realm of the spirit through high level scriptural declarations about your placement and destiny rather than lamentation and self pity.
3. Never engage in any physical confrontation in an attempt to prove your innocence. God abandons the battle for you on this wise.
4. Never resort to compromise of your principles even when it appears that will free you from the effects of the conspiracy. You mortgage destiny once that is done.
5. Remind God you are ready to take shame and humiliation from men than to lose His favour on your life. The shame from men is always temporal.
6. Never resort to murmuring and complaining against God when it appears the enemy is triumphing despite all your integrity and principles. The triumph of the wicked is always for a moment.
7. Backsliding is never an option as that is all the enemy needs to rob you of the future glory.
8. Never give in to bitterness against the conspirators as that may suffocate the spiritual energy you need to survive through the temporary negative season. Never give anyone the luxury of robbing you the joy of existence.
9. Never transfer past aggression to future prospects. People are different and will always serve a different purpose in your life per time. You lose opportunities when you view new people with the lens of previous people.
10. Always remember that anyone that couldn’t take your integrity, spirituality and vitality has not taken anything of worth from you.
11. Always remember that promotion and placement come from God not man. When a person refuses to be used, God will locate someone else to use on your behalf.
12. Always remember that all things work together for the good of them that love the Lord. A closed door maybe what God needs to get your attention to see other doors He had opened for you.
I PRAY FOR YOU:
The God who turned Joseph’s story around is turning your own this week!
Those who worked against you today will be alive to witness your season of glorification and celebration!
Your enemies will never have the last laugh over your life!
See you next week on this platform!
