A life refined IV - Annointed Leader

Gen 39 : 2 The LORD was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. 3 When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, 4 Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. 5
From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. 6 So he left in Joseph's care everything he had; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate.


A life refined IV - Anointed Leadership

I was asking one question recently, why some people are so fruitful in their ministry while other work so hard yet have not much fruits. I learned from my experience, that many times, when things don't go smoothly as planned, we tend to do more and work harder. But i realise that many times when things don't go smoothly, it is more often than not God wants us to pray more.
I really think, a consistent devotion is a key to continual breakthrough.

Joshua 1:8 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 9

Joseph's life is a good example, have you ever wondered why God's hand was always on his life? Well, if God blessed those who walk in his way, i can safely assume that Joseph must have found favour with the Lord because of his attitude and his heart

Psalms 37:4 - 4 Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.

I can possibly say that he must have been spending time with God, praying and worshiping and asking God to continually strengthen his heart and spirit. And as his heart starts to change and he starts to walk closer with God, blessing starts to flow in his life.

If we want God's hand upon our lives and be blessed abundantly, then we need to spend time with God to allow him to strengthen us.

Amen
