Text: James 1:6-8

“But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed”. vs 8

Title: BE STABLE II

The bible says a double minded man is unstable in all his ways. Are you double minded and wavering (indecisive) within you concerning the mind of God for your life? Already you know the mind of God, but you are dillydallying, taking time unnecessarily.

The bible says unstable as water, thou shall not excel. Judas Iscariot did not excel, having been unstable, and wavering. He must have thought that He was smarter than the rest of the apostles, and that the rest of the disciples were being unambitious by just consecrating all their life to God, “without any other extra plans for themselves”. But that his “wisdom”, craftiness and “smartness” failed him fatally. That is actually what the scriptures cited above are loudly emphasizing. Take Heed, so that you don’t belong to those the bible describes as “… a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that did not set their heart aright and whose spirit was not steadfast with God”, Psalms 78:8

SINCERITY CORNER: If the discussion of today describes you, and you think you need help, please talk with us. God bless you.

Text: Gen 49:1-4

“Reuben … unstable as water thou shall not excel …” vs
3,4

Title: BE STABLE

In the above scripture, the bible links inability to attain excellence (for Reuben) to unstableness or instability.
Are you unstable in your walk with God: a little hot; a little cold; then lukewarm; and then hot. How then can you excel and experience full freedom and greatness? Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David – all were consistent; and thus they excelled. Perhaps by now your peace, rest, greatness and general wellbeing would have been something else, so much as the wave of the sea.

But truly, you can be stable. Reuben’s case was different because his unstableness was a curse that came upon him as a result of his immoral affair with his father’s wife. Your own case is different. If you are unstable (and not excelling in your relationship with God, and His kingdom matters) – you are likely the cause. Therefore, heal yourself.

The bible urges thus: “Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates”? 2Cor 13:5; “Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes”. Songs 2:15; “Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns”. Jer 4:3

“And Joseph brought in Jacob his father and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh”. Vs 7

Title: CALLED TO BLESS

It is good and profitable to be a king, and also to occupy other elevated and important offices or positions in government, institutions and other spheres of life. These are all good, advantageous and also honourable.
However, there is a higher calling: the calling to bless – in His name. Jacob was conscious of the divine presence (with him) and of the unction upon his life. Therefore, when he came before Pharaoh the king, he knew he had a favour to do this king – “bless him”. And kings and men of this world know the importance of this blessing (see Ezra 6:10).

But the important thing is, are we conscious of what we have as Jacob was? When God called Abraham he said, if you obey me I will bless you so much and make you a blessing (Gen 13:1-3). Jesus says to us (as He said to the disciples) “… all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore…” Mat 28:18. We are to go and teach all nations, and bless all nations. The disciples obeyed and went, and did exploits. Paul told Timothy “Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery”. I Timothy 4:14.

If you are living carefully you will begin to be conscious of the call, the mandate and the unction upon your life.

Text: Gen 46:28-34

Title: COVET THIS KIND OF FAVOUR

“And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What is your occupation? That ye shall say, Thy servants' trade hath been about cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and also our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians”. Gen 46:33,34

Israel (ie Jacob and his descendants) had just arrived Egypt, and gotten accommodated in Goshen – a location in Egypt. It appears that ordinarily it would be an impossible reality for Israel to have co-habited with the Egyptians in Egypt, because the later part of verse 34 says “… for every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptian”.

For a thing to be abominable means such a thing is neither to be thought (or heard) of, nor seen; talk less of accommodating it. But this anathema was joyfully befriended and “swallowed” BEAUSE OF JOSEPH. The bible says that when a man’s way pleases the Lord He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him (Prov 16:7); and that a faithful man shall abound with blessings (Prov 28:20). Deuteronomy 11:24 says “Every place the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours…”.
CONCLUSION: If you serve God and be faithful to Him today, God will use you to keep your father’s house and your generation alive.

Text Gen 47:11,12

Title: WITH JOSEPH IT WAS ABOUNDANCE EVERY
WHERE

His hard work, diligence, fear of God and the favours of God brought true abundance in, upon and around Joseph. The scripture is true: “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Gal 6:7-9

- Spiritual abundance: He said to his visiting ten brothers “… this do, and live; for I fear God” Gen 42:18
- Abundance in the mind: “And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, the dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do…The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
- Material Abundance: “And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded. And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father's household, with bread, according to their families”. Gen 47:11,12

This will be the portion of any one who will truly serve God. The bible says thus: “If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures’. Job 36:11; “And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth”. Deut 28:1

Title: THE LABOUR CONTINUES

Labour and hard work brought Joseph to his present status of glory. But then he continued to work.

“And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan. And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph's brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth”. Gen 42:5,6

“And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same. And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea …” Gen 41:48,49

LABOUR, LABOUR, LABOUR! – during poverty and in wealth.

“But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.” John 5:17

Even our God Himself is still working now. May God help us to learn from these perfect examples. The bible says the night cometh when no man can work. Now is the time to work; not to relax. The field is white already to harvest.

Title: JOSEPH’S PRESENT STATUS IN EGYPT

“And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses provender”. Vs 24

Some of the verses in the text give glimpses of Joseph’s glories and status in Egypt: the servants, the provisions in his residence, the nature of his accommodation. Talking about his servants, we don’t know how many. But how many servants would have been able to prepare enough food for all the house of Joseph and the guests within the shot notice (between morning and noon v16,25). For provisions at Joseph’s residence, I think there must have been a food bank, because even the asses of the visitors were fed on their arrival. The residence: a residence that could easily accommodate eleven visitors, their luggage and their asses (with dinning space for all those people including “… the Egyptians which did eat with him …”) - was palatial. And what do you expect of the official residence of the prime minister of what was perhaps the world super power. We are trying to picture Joseph’s glory in Egypt.

But how did this glory come? Labour! Joseph worked tirelessly in Potiphar’s house, and in the prison. His diligence finally recommended him to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. Jesus said “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work”. This is the time to do the work of God’s kingdom – whether in singing, preaching, praying, writing, helping, in whatever form God has revealed. The bible equally notes that “The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few”. Are we among the few labourers? May God help us, in Jesus name.

What are the rewards for getting truly dedicated to the work of God’s kingdom, especially in a manner that gets soul(s) won or encouraged?
