Prayer: Father, friends and family may attempt to derail God’s plans, but Joseph is a great study in how You prevail and redirect ill-intentioned plans. Amen.
Reading: Genesis 50 key: vs. 19-20
19 But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. For am I in the place of God? 20 Yes, you yourselves planned evil against me. God planned it for good, in order to bring about what it is this day—to preserve the lives of many people.
Attention: There is not a better illustration in Scripture, of an ill-intentioned plan being redirected and used for good. All appeared as doom and gloom. Jacob had lost his favorite son to a wild animal or, so it was rumored. Joseph was lost for all time. But God intervened and used a caravan of traders to deliver Joseph to his destination, a date with Pharoah. A God-given gifting to interpret dreams of his cellmates, provides the opportunity to represent God and elevate Joseph to second-in-command of all the land.
God is still in the business of promoting those who are faithful to Him. He is still in the business of redeeming ill-intentioned plans. He is still in the business of reconciling families. What He did for Joseph and his family, He can do for you.
Do you believe that God can do for you, what He did for Joseph? If so, let’s begin to pray like we believe that God is able. Mary was told by the angel Gabriel, “For nothing will be impossible with God (Luke 2:37).” Do you believe that nothing is impossible with God still today? The writer of Hebrews tells us, “Yeshua the Messiah is the same yesterday, today, and forever (13:8).” Do we believe that God is constant, consistent, and does not change from era to era? Do you believe that God has a plan for you?
Let’s deem together, that this year is the year we embrace God’s character which never changes, He is the God of the impossible. This is the year of the reconciliation of your family, a brother, son, or daughter. This is the year of miracles as the prayer of faith heals those around you and delivers them from addictions of all kinds. This is the year that the healing touch you thought illusive, is experienced. This is the year of possibilities with God.
Action: I believe that God will intervene and reconcile relationship with my son.
Yield: I am yielded when I go to God and appeal for healing, deliverance, and reconciliation.
Engage: I engage with God when I come to Him with my requests.
Relationship: I am in full relationship with God when I am one with Him.
Prayer: Father, thank You for the encouragement I receive from the life of Joseph. I praise You for the miracles I will experience this year because You are a God of the possible! Amen.
