In His Presence

The Lord was with Joseph and Joseph prospered in everything he did.

In the bible, Joseph was sold as a slave to an Egyptian. As a slave, the
Lord prospered everything he did. The presence of the Lord was so evident
in his life that his master entrusted everything under his care including
his wife. The wife tried to seduced Joseph to lie with her but Joseph ran
away from her presence for he knew sleeping with his master's wife was
doing great wickedness to the Lord.

Joseph's master ultimately threw him into the dungeon for his wife had
accused Joseph of trying to take advantage of her in his absence. While in
the dungeon, God prospered all that Joseph had done. Joseph had so much
favour with the keeper of the prison that he was entrusted with the care of
the other prisoners. A few years later, Joseph was promoted to be the
second in command after Pharaoh.

All this while from the time Joseph was sold as a slave to the time he was
in prison, he was conscious of the Lord's presence in his life. He had
faith in God that all things will turn out for his good!

Some Christians may be going through financial lack in their lives. So long
they behold Jesus in their lives, it will be a matter of time before they
are comppletely delivered out of their financial lack! As long as they are
conscious of Jesus' in their lives, heat will not come to them even if they
are in the middle of a storm.

If a Christian is suffering from some form of diseases and will not stop
cultivating the Lord's presence in his/her life, it will be a matter of
time when this Christian will be completely freed from that disease! For as
Christ is, so are we in this world.

There is NO obstacle so big that God doesn't have an answer for. God
already has the providence in place long before we face any lack in our
lives. Be conscious of His presence and all things will work out for our
good. Hallelujah!
