-
Jesus might name Amy, let us take her conversion from
-
Joshua chapter one, verse eight. This book of the Law

For then I will make my way prosperous, and then

-
Part three planted with purpose. Lessons from the Life of
-
Joseph Part three planted with purpose and our scripture reading
-
is from Genesis chapter thirty nine, verse five to six.
-
Genesis chapter thirty nine, verse five to six, I'll be
-
reading from the New Living Translation From the day Joseph
-
was put in charge of his master's household and property.
-
The Lord began to bless Potify's household for Joseph's sake.
-
All his household at first ran smoothly, and his cops
-
and livestock flourished. So Potiphar gave Joseph a complete administrative
-
responsibility over everything he owed with Joseph day, he didn't
-
worry about a thing except what kind of food to eat.
-
The word of the Lord, Thanks be to God. Lessons
-
from the Life of Joseph. Pat Three Planted with purpose.
-
God always has a reason for where he plants you.
-
That Egypt. You didn't choose that jow that city, that's difficult,
-
family dynamic, all that church assign It's not random. It
-
is a divine assignment, carefully set up by God, not
-
just to bless you, but to use you as a
-
channel of blessing to the people around you. It requires
-
one thing that you trust His sovereignty and save him
-
unreservedly right where you are before partif I ever saw
-
a blessing, Joseph fest showed obedience, his daily submission to
-
the responsibility of managing a pagan officer's home. Doing it
-
diligently with absolute integrity, day after day became the very
-
pipeline through which partifist entire household flourished. The blessing did
-
not come first, the obedience did. Perhaps you find yourself
-
right now in a position you are not happy about.
-
Maybe you've been posted to a city you never wanted
-
to live in. Maybe you've been handed a role at
-
work you feel with beneath you or completely outside your
-
comfort zone. You are in a season that feels exactly
-
like Egypt, like Joseph, don't panic, don't waste your precious
-
energy fighting the placement. Trust God and sef Your submission
-
to God in the place has planted you is so
-
much bigger than you. Someone else's blessing is actively tied
-
to your opinions. Think about it. Your faithfulness at work
-
gives your boss peace of mind. Your integrity at home
-
brings your family stability. Your service and ministry becomes the
-
doorway for someone else's encounter with God. You are not
-
just filling a role, You are carrying favor. Therefore, wherever
-
you find yourself tomorrow morning, at a desk in a
-
classroom or even serving quietly in a relative's home. Take
-
it seriously, do it wholeheartedly. Don't wait for a better time,
-
a better location, or a better title to start being faithful.
-
Start now. God's grand plan for your life doesn't begin
-
at the palace. It begins in the quiet obedience of
-
seven faithfully at Potiphar's house. When you say, with all
-
your heart, you turn your current workplace into an altar,
-
and on that altar God builds testimonies for you and
-
breakthroughs for the people around you. So simply trust his placement,
-
anna his process bloom right where you are planted, because
-
someone is waiting on the other side of your Yes. Amen,
-
let us kind of take our memory. Verse from Genesis
-
chapter thirty nine A. From the day Joseph was put
-
in child of his master's household and property, the Lord
-
began to bless Potifa's household for Joseph's sake. From the
-
day Joseph was put in child of his master's household
-
and property, the Lord began to bless Potifa's household for
-
Joseph's sake. Amen, let us pray I have any Father.
-
We thank you so much for your weather this morning.
-
We continue to pray for grace to fully yield our
-
lives to You, so that every plan and purpose for
-
which you have planted us anywhere we find ourselves would
-
be fully manifested in Jesus might name. We pray with
-
so much thanksgiving. Amen, God, bless you dear when for
-
staying through our morning glory devotion today join us again
-
same time tomorrow morning for a blessed time in His presence.
-
Until then, stay tuned and stay blessed
