The Lord was with Joseph, so he succeeded in everything he did as he served in the home of his Egyptian master. Potiphar noticed this and realized that the Lord was with Joseph, giving him success in everything he did. This pleased Potiphar, so he soon made Joseph his personal attendant. He put him in charge of his entire household and everything he owned……..So Potiphar gave Joseph complete administrative responsibility over everything he owned. With Joseph there, he didn’t worry about a thing—except what kind of food to eat! Joseph was a very handsome and well-built young man,” Genesis 39:1-6
Abraham left everything he had for Isaac. “And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac” – Genesis 25:5. Let’s look at the size of wealth Abraham left for Isaac: “He (God) has given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses” – Genesis 24:35.
Despite the enormous inheritance his father left him, Isaac still worked and God blessed him. “Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him”- Genesis 26:12.
The greatness of Isaac came from his work that God blessed. “And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great” – Genesis 26:13.
When his children are working, God becomes happy because he himself works diligently. “Jesus said to them, My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working”- John 5:17.
Just because Isaac decided to work and joined God’s class, God also blessed him until the Philistines who opposed him envied him. “For he (Isaac) had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him” – Genesis 26:14.
If you are a child of God who is working, Issac story will be your beginning. Your opposers would envy you but can’t hack your account. May the grace Isaac enjoyed be shed over you.
God was with Joseph and that changed his story. Look at it: “And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand” – Genesis 39:3. May people see like Portiphar, that everything you do, God makes it prosper in hands.
God’s kingdom has no place for lazy people. “Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth” – Proverbs 10:4. Poverty is the outcome of laziness. Rise up and let’s go to work for God to bless our work!!!.
LET’S PRAY
Everlasting Father, give me grace enough to know that, failure to work robs me of God’s blessing upon work. Bless my handiworks in a thousand fold in the name of Jesus. Lord protect me and my family from envious and jealous people in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen Amen Amen.
