By Pst Israel Olorunfemi 

TEXT: "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" (Gen 39:4)

Joseph found grace in the sight of Portipher his master. The grace mentioned above means "undeserved favour." It is undeserved because there was no physical input from him that warranted this favour. He did not play down on anyone either to gain it. God's Presence just settled on his life by favour and this magneted the favour from his master. This shall be your experience from now on.

Today a lot of people are looking for favour from man and they go about lobbying, engaging in eye-service and carrying out a lot of sinful acts. You don't need to bribe, lie or as a lady, sleep with your boss to gain favour. Whatever 'favour' you get by sinning you will have to continue in that sin to keep it. What profit is it to gain the whole world by favour and lose your soul in hell? It takes God's favour to win man's favour.

For instance, Samuel was in favour with God and man (1Sam. 2:26). Jesus was in favour with God and man (Lk 2:52). The Apostles were in favour with God and man (Acts 2:47). When you are in favour with God, men will naturally favour you. Also, when God's favour is upon you, you will be like a ball in a pool of water, no matter the situation that tries to press you down, you will always find yourself on top. Press a ball into a pull of water and leave it, it finds its way up. That is what happens to a man who carries God's favour in the midst of pressure and resistances. Joseph was always on top of every negative situation that he encountered because he carried God's favour.

PRAYER: You are coming out of that situation. It will not swallow you up, in Jesus name.
