CAPACITY

-

Text :  Genesis 41:40.

So you are to be appointed in charge over my palace, and all of my people are to do whatever you command them to do. Only the throne will have greater authority than you.”

I'm sure you are familiar with the story of Joseph, the dreamer. He was so called because he wouldn't be silent about the spectacular dreams God was showing him about himself. 

You don't have to be silent about the vision God has called you to do. Surely, not everyone will agree with you from the beginning. But note that you don't need everyone's approval before you obey God.

The truth is your  critics today will celebrate your success tommorrow if you used their criticism as a stepping stone and not as stumbling block.

Habakkuk 2:2 says ```And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.``` 

So Joseph announced his dreams and it fetched him plenty enemies. 

You may be going through challenging moments right now simply because the enemy has seen the glorious assignment ahead of you and he wants you to chicken out before your manifestation.

It's important to know that your real enemy is the devil, he only employs willing humans (agents) to carry out His intentions. Look past the agents and deal with the real boss(the devil).

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, and seeking whom he may devour: 1 Peter  5:8.

Joseph was betrayed, sold into slavery,  lied against, and sent to prison unjustly. 

While going through these daunting challenges,  instead of spending his time and energy to build up resentments and bitterness against his offenders,  Joseph was busy building capacity. 

Don't waste your life on side attractions,  focus on the assignment He has given you because your day of manifestation is fast approaching. 

BIBLE READING: Gen. 51:1-57.

PRAYER FOCUS

1. I receive the grace and wisdom to build capacity in my time of preparation so I will not be ashamed in my time of manifestation.

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
