"You’re the symbol of God’s blessings wherever you are, for you’re the carrier of His presence and His grace.."
And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand. And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand (Genesis 39:3-4)
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 only and not beneath” (Deuteronomy 28:13). Now, being the head
doesn’t necessarily mean becoming 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 recognized 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 hath blessed”, me for thy
sake” (Genesis 30:27). Laban noticed that the reason
his business had become blessed was because of Jacob. How beautiful this is!
Can the same be said of you? Of course! This is the life God has called you
into not only to be blessed, but also to be a blessing. 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 His grace. Let others take notice
that because of you, favour has come to them; expansion has come to their
business, and progress to their entire city. Praise God!
