The Symbol of God’s Blessings

“…the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake…” (Genesis 39:5).

God has called and chosen you for a purpose, and that is to show forth through you His manifold wisdom and demonstrate His excellence to your world. It’s His purpose and desire to prove His extraordinary greatness in your life.

He told Israel, you’ll be the head and not the tail; you’ll be above and not beneath (Deuteronomy 28:13).

Being the head doesn’t necessarily mean becoming say the Managing Director of an organization. Look at Joseph; he went into Potiphar’s house as a slave, but the Bible says he was a prosperous man.

When Potiphar recognised that the Lord was with Joseph, and that all he did prospered, he put him in charge of his entire household and everything he had, and God blessed him for Joseph’s sake (Genesis 39:1-5).

It was the same story with Jacob. At the time he worked for Laban, his uncle, Laban acknowledged and said, “…I have learned by experience that the Lord has blessed me for your sake” (Genesis 30:27). He recognized that the reason his business was blessed was because of Jacob.

Make up your mind to live up to your calling. You’re the symbol of God’s blessings wherever you are, for you’re the carrier of His presence and grace. Let others take notice that because of you, favour has come to them; expansion has come to their business, and progress has engulfed the entire community. Praise God.

Let this consciousness be in you that you carry and distribute the blessing of the Lord everywhere you go. Where you go, God goes!
