Reference Hymn
CCC Hymn 526 stanza 1
“The ways of God are mysterious
To accomplish His works
His ways no man can determine
Unsearchable they are”
Yesterday, we established the fact that we serve a God who works behind the scene. That is, He takes drastic actions and steps with the recipient of such actions not even knowing ahead as it will seem as if God is absent.
Today’s message presents to us another dimension of God which is that He separates us from the rest of the crowd. That is, he is a god of distinction as He sets us as wonder to many.
Today’s message brings to our attention how God distinguished Joseph from not only his contemporaries but from trained magicians and scholars. Amen.
Pharaoh was shocked and asked if we can ever find anyone like Joseph in whom there is the spirit of God. Amen.
It was evident that this was not ordinary as it was beyond human comprehension and understanding. It showed and proved that what is from above is indeed above all. May the good Lord distinguish you this season from your contemporaries in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Several other characters in the Bible experienced the God of distinction to the extent that they are still celebrated till today.
Daniel was a man who the Bible recorded was 10 times better than his contemporaries. The world till now cannot still understand the awesome wisdom bestowed on Apostle Paul who was once a persecutor of the church. Amen.
We must however know that what brings distinction to a man is when he fully and totally surrenders himself to God. May the good Lord help you in this regard in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Prayer point: Oh Lord, now I know that you are the God of distinction, manifest this in my life in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Further readings: Daniel 1:20; John 3:31; Philippians 3:7
