Above Only Daily Devotional cgmglobal.org/aboveonly (Lire en français: cgmglobal.org/aboveonly/fr) Sunday, October 5 FULFILLING YOUR COMMISSION IN EVERY CONDITION (2) Genesis 40:6-8 And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they were sad. And he asked Pharaohs officers that were with him in the ward of his lords house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly to day? And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you. -------------------------------------------------------------------- One of the first times the word prosperous appeared in the Bible, was when it was used to describe Joseph who at the time was a servant in a foreign land, Gen.39:2. Do not decide to attain a certain status in life before you begin to believe that God has blessed you, made you prosperous, and made you Above Only. Thats not faith. Thats living by sight. Such a mentality can rob you of your joy, and lure you out of having the right attitude that you need to move to your higher level. You are blessed, you are prosperous, you are Above Only. You are anointed right from where you are now. Thank God that Joseph remained diligent in his work. He was courageous and loving enough to forget about his own personal situation and notice the poor countenance of some of Pharaohs officials who shared his prison cell. Thank God also, that he honestly and selflessly interpreted their dreams. If Joseph had remained introspective and focused on his own current circumstances, he would not have kept thriving in his walk with God, and in job and duties that were assigned to him. Keep your eyes on who you are in Christ. It will produce divine strength in you. You will be able to perform all that God wants you to do through Christ that strengthens you. Your path will keep shining brighter and brighter. The blessings of God upon you, enables you to be different and also enables you to stand out right from where you are. Right from that state, you will do things that people will begin to wonder and ask questions. PRAYER FOCUS: Father, thank You that in every situation I find myself, I shall stand out to declare Your glory. BIBLE IN ONE YEAR READING PLAN: Matthew 9 - 10 Commissioned & Empowered...
