Wednesday 5th March | NOT BY POSSESSION Mar. 5, 2014 “Now Israel loved Joseph more than all of his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours”.(Genesis 37 vs 3). That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional Today. It is important to observe that Joseph got a coat of many colours from his father, but that coat in itself did not make him great. He got a gift from a man, but that gift did not take him to the top of his destiny. A coat of many colours was synonymous with royals and nobles in the Bible times, but Joseph had one, and still spent time in the bush. Notice that when he eventually became great, it was not because of his coat of many colours; Joseph’s greatness came as a result of the manifestation of God’s plan for his life. His greatness came as a result of the divine deposits in him that manifested. His greatness came after his graduation from dreamer to dream interpreter. He was useful to his generation before greatness beckoned on him. Friend, God says, greatness is not a function of your physical possession, your greatness is a function of who you are. Greatness is not a result of what men have in store for you: it is a function of what God has in store for you. Pay more attention to what God has deposited in you; look beyond what you have around you and discover what you have in you. Be useful to your generation; be an asset to people around you. If there is no greatness in your inner man, there may never be a true manifestation of greatness on the outside. Physical possessions may put you in the spotlight, but true greatness shines brightly even when the spotlight is gone. Pray with me, “Lord, help me to experience true greatness from within in Jesus name”. Follow on Twitter @jerrystreams Have a Wonderful Wednesday!
