TOPIC: HE IS IN CHARGE I MEMORISE : For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength. Job 37:6 READ : Mark 4:36-41 36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships. 37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. 38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? 39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. 40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? 41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

TOPIC: HOLD ON TO JESUS

MEMORISE:
The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.
Haggai 2:9

READ: Psalm 105:16-22

16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.

17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:

18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:

19 Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.

20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.

21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:

22 To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.

MESSAGE
Have you ever faced a situation that seemed overwhelming to handle? You might have asked a lot of questions like, “Why doesn’t God just promote me? Why do I have to go through these unpleasant situations before He takes me to the next level?” Joseph probably asked these questions as he went from one unpleasant situation to another. Just when he thought everything was fine in Potiphar’s house, God introduced the prison to refine him further.

However, when God was through with him, he became so blessed that the destiny of nations and generations depended on him. Today’s Bible reading tells us about how he moved from being a servant to being a ruler. The word of the Lord tested Joseph (Psalm 105:19), and when God saw that he was ready for the highest level of blessing, the king sent for him, freed him from prison, and made him a ruler in Egypt. Beloved, I pray for you today that God will promote you to a higher level and make you stand before kings, in Jesus’ name.

Some people receive what appear to be automatic promotions. Such people seem not to do anything before they experience a blessing. This is good, and many people love such promotions. However, this is not often the case for everyone. Some people undergo numerous trials to the point where they begin to wonder why they must endure such daunting challenges before being promoted. If you are currently going through such trials, don’t despair. Even though your beginning may be small, your end will greatly increase, in Jesus’ name (Job 8:7).

In Genesis 32:6-7, Esau, who got a ‘remnant’ blessing, became so mighty that he had 400 bodyguards. Without doubt, he was a great man. This means that, regardless of how challenging your beginning might have been, you can still experience significant positive changes in the latter part of your life. It doesn’t matter how you start; what matters is how you end.

Beloved, no matter what you may be going through currently, hold on to Jesus. Don’t seek shortcuts from the world; instead, follow God’s due process, and you will surely enter into the glorious future He has prepared for you. I am sure of this because Christ in you is the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27). I pray that when you face trials, you will be found faithful, ready, and well-positioned for your next-level blessing, in Jesus’ name.

PRAYER POINT
Father, please help me not to take shortcuts but to follow Your due process as You take me to my next level of blessings, in Jesus’ name.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

Perfect, Present Cleansing In The Blood For Me;
Standing In The Liberty Where Christ Makes Free,
Standing On The Promises Of God.

Bound To Him Eternally By Love’s Strong Cord,
Overcoming Daily With The Spirit’s Sword,

TOPIC: THE SNARE OF THE FOWLER 4 MEMORISE:  All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 1 Corinthians 6:12 READ: Bible Reading Romans 6:1-23 1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. 8 Now if we be dead w...

TOPIC: AN EXCELLENT SPIRIT  MEMORIZE   Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.

Be not wise in your own conceits. [17]Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. [18]If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. [19]Dearly be...
