TURNING POINT

-
Text : Genesis 41:40 

You will be over my house, and all my people will obey your commands, only with regards to the throne will I be greater than you . 

Today, the Lord wants to address someone who is not satisfied with his present position because he knows there is a better and higher place for him or her. God is more interested in taking you higher than you are. Hence, He has orchestrated a number of events that will ultimately launch you into the higher ground. 
However, the pathway to success always come with lots of challenges and difficulties.   

The story of Joseph was a good case study in this discourse. He endured unhealthy rivalry from his brothers and later experienced harsh betrayal from these same brothers. He was sold into slavery, he was lied against while faithfully discharging his duties and was eventually imprisoned. His only offence was that he refused to compromise the standard of God for a fleeting enjoyment.

The turning point came for him when one day he woke up as a Prisoner, and by evening of the same day, he had become the Prime Minister (second in command) in Egypt. Every one loves this turning point and happy ending. But permit me to tell you that while Joseph was a young child in his father's house, nobody told him he would go through such rough path before his dreams would be realised. 

What you are going through right now is only a passage- a path way to your destiny. Your turning point is just around the corner. The one that knows the end of everything from the beginning is right beside you. He is there to see you through.

Remember, there is no breakthrough without a going through . Now, how you handle the challenges that are placed on your pathway to Victory, Success and breakthrough, determines if you will wear the crown or not. Do not compromise your faith and the standard of God because of a fleeting enjoyment. Do not deny your God simply because of the current hardship. The father knows about it all. And He is working out your Victory. 

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him from them all. Psalms 34:19. 

Bible reading: Genesis 39:1-23.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
