TEXT: "He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance" (Ps 105:21).
Welcome to your fruitful day, in Jesus name. I want let you know that if your life is to be fruitful you have to stay faithful to God even in the difficult times. It is naturally easy to be faithful to God when all is going well in life. The test of faithfulness comes when you face fierce temptations and great trials. As the Psalmist gives thanks to God for his faithfulness, he recalls the life of Joseph.
Joseph’s life was immensely fruitful (see Gen 37-50). Pharaoh made him master of his household, ruler over all he possessed, to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom (Ps 105:21-22). But, Joseph’s fruitfulness didn't cme without a price. In the early days it did not seem like his life would be at all fruitful. He was sold as a slave. His feet they hurt with fetters; he was laid in chains of iron and his soul entered into the iron (Ps 105:18 AMP). Joseph went through betrayal, slavery, temptation, imprisonment and a great deal of suffering.
Yet in all this he remained faithful. The reason for Joseph’s faithfulness was that he trusted that God was in control, even in the bad times (Gen 45:5-8; 50:20). Not only did Joseph remain faithful to God despite his seeming abandonment, but he also remained faithful to his family in forgiving them, rather than blaming and rejecting them. Ultimately, his faithfulness led to great fruitfulness.
PRAYER: I pray for the release of grace upon you to remain faithful to God so that your fruitfulness will appear to all, in Jesus name
