IT IS YOUR YEAR OF EXCEPTIONAL ADVANCEMENT II
Genesis 41:25-40
Yesterday, we started looking at the theme for the year. If you need a reminder, it is your year of EXCEPTIONAL ADVANCEMENT. In our text, we see Joseph enjoy exceptional advancement. Like a dream, his life story changed for the better. From the prison to the throne was at the speed of sound. One moment, he was a prisoner. In the twinkle of an eye, his status changed. A position was created to accommodate him. He became the Prime Minister and the de facto ruler in Egypt. The account goes thus:
So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I hereby put you in charge of the whole land of Egypt. Then Pharaoh took his signet ring from his finger and put it on Joseph’s finger. He dressed him in robes of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck. He had him ride in a chariot as his second-in-command, and people shouted before him, “Make way”. Thus he put him in charge of the whole land of Egypt. Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, but without your word no one will lift hand or foot in all Egypt.
Can you see? He did not know Joseph before that day. Even Joseph could only have known him only by reputation. So without lobby or human connection, Joseph became. He was not even an Egyptian. He was a foreigner and a slave. It could only be God and no one else. The same happened for Daniel in the land of captivity. He was elevated beyond his wildest dreams. He got to heights hitherto not existing. It is your turn. Your word shall come. You shall get there.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, my eyes are on you. Please take me to heights beyond my expectation at your speed. Create room for me at the top in Jesus’ name. Father make space for me at the top.
