A blessed work
Hello everyone,
How are you doing on this day? I hope well and
bubbling in the Lord.

“And Joseph was brought down
to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain and chief
executioner of the [royal] guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites
who had brought him down there. But the Lord was with Joseph, and he [though a
slave] was a successful and prosperous man; and he was in the house of
his master the Egyptian. And his master saw that the Lord was
with him and that the Lord made all that he did to flourish and succeed
in his hand. So Joseph pleased [Potiphar] and
found favor in his sight, and he served him. And [his master] made him
supervisor over his house and he put all that he had in his charge. From the
time that he made him supervisor in his house and over all that he had, the
Lord blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the Lord’s blessing
was on all that he had in the house and in the field.” Genesis 39v1-5 (AMP)
God can bless and prosper the work of your hands so
much that it will be recognized. He can distinguish you among your peers,
colleagues, and even those who should actually know more than you, as we see in
the case of Joseph and even Daniel. We find that even in adverse work
situations, the presence of God with you can distinguish you and make you
successful and prosperous. Joseph was a slave in Potiphar’s house, sold into
slavery, yet God was with him. God can make you stand out that even those who
do not have a relationship with Him will acknowledge His presence with you, and
His hand in bringing about success and flourishing. We see as well though that
Joseph served His master. Because of a child of God, God can bring success to a
work place, as we see in the case of Joseph. Child of God, you might be
striving to succeed, and the Word tells us that diligence would bring us before
kings; but without the Lord we can do nothing. John 15v5 (AMP) says “I
am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much
(abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me [cut off from vital union with Me] you
can do nothing.” In all your work dear one, always seek and covet the presence
of the Lord.
Prayer
Father, we thank You for Your Word. We
thank You for Your presence. Father, please let Your presence be with me
always. Distinguish me and cause me to flourish, succeed, excel and prosper in
all of my endeavours. I lift up every work that I have been given to do and my
place of work, Father bless them, and let those who do not know You come to
know You because of Your presence with me in Jesus name, amen.
