Let me start off by saying that God is doing a unique work around the world today. He is rising up Josephs throughout the world. Some are still in the "pit" stage of their pilgrimage, while others are heading toward fruitfulness. What does it take for a man to become a true Joseph? It takes years of preparation and testing to be a true Joseph. It takes what the psalmist says in Psalm 105:17.
Psalm 105:16-20
16 He called down famine on the land and destroyed all their supplies of food; 17 and he sent a man before them— Joseph, sold as a slave. 18 They bruised his feet with shackles, his neck was put in irons, 19 till what he foretold came to pass, till the word of the Lord proved him true. 20 The king sent and released him, the ruler of peoples set him free.
A true Joseph is one who is a provider both spiritually and materially for those in the Body of Christ. It is a person who understands that he is simply a manager of all that God has entrusted to him. It is a person who has humility and a broken and contrite heart before God. Right now family someone is asking the question "how does God prepare modern-day Josephs?"
Modern-day Josephs are prepared through their own versions of bruised feet, with shackles and necks put in irons. It is often through the adversity of failed finances, failed marriages, failed relationships, Fail direction by following the wrong path and broken dreams. These are the things that try men the most. These are the things God uses to allow the Josephs of our day to be proven by the Word of the Lord. Once proven, God brings them out of their prisons and uses them mightily for His purposes. Joseph went through his own trials - not because of any failure, but because of an incredible calling: to save and provide for an entire nation.
13 years ago family, By the Grace of God, I received my Joseph calling from the Lord. I attended a Baptist conference , I listened to a Preacher talk about helping the unwanted "People in prison" I was privileged to sit among Men and women who had a Joseph calling on their lives. These men and women had humility of heart and a spirit of servants. Each one had his own Joseph story. This allowed me to see firsthand this phenomenon call Christianity that is going on throughout the world. Many believe God is rising up these servants to prepare for a worldwide harvest of souls.
I want you to know family that right now, while I am sending you this word, there are men and women being dramatically affected because of a Joseph who has stepped forward to fulfill his calling for this nation.
Question; Are you willing to allow God to do whatever it takes for you to become a true Joseph? This morning family; I want you to ask the Lord to do whatever is necessary to fully use your gifts and talents for His eternal Kingdom. Don't think about because He already knows your thoughts, Ask Him and it will be done! A God Bless You All, Have a Great Godly Day.
