So Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and he was quickly brought from the dungeon. When he had shaved and changed his clothes, he came before Pharaoh. Gen 41:14

 Story: Joseph was in the prison for nothing that he had done. Now Pharaoh had two dreams, and we see the above verses, the moment Pharaoh heard there was a man who could interpret the dream, he immediately called Joseph, we know Joseph interpreted the dream rightly and he was appointed the prime minister of the Egypt that moment itself.

Lesson: One night as a prisoner in dungeon, next night in the palace as the prime minister. Remember when God changes things it is supernatural. Lord can change any horrible situation to the best state. Promotion from prison to palace was using a dream. Lord can use anything. If the breakthrough is from God, then you will get the call, you do not need to depend on people.

Prayer Lord Father you are amazing, you can change any situation using anything. Lord sorry for being impatient and unbelieving, forgive me. Amen.

He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Rev 21:5

It is the great plan of the Almighty to change our sinful and painful past and present to a beautiful future. Lord is making everything new. Yes every area of our life needs to go to the next level of God’s plans. So let us meditate few of His promises of making everything new.

Lord Cares: And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God Rev 21:3Wow! Lord calls us His people and our precious Father promises to live in midst of us. Why worry?

Lord Comforts: ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” Rev 21:4 Lord sees our pain, He is our deliverer and Lord promises that our older order will pass away. Hold to the Lord, His time for deliverance is at the door. Why Fear?

Lord Controls.: Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”  He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End Rev 21:5,6 When things are not going as planned, Lord is telling, Lord is in control and He knows the end of it. Why doubt?

Prayer: Lord, You are Caring, You are our comforter and Lord is in Control. Yes Lord I believe Your words “I am making everything new!”. Amen.

Fight the good fight of faith. 1Tim.6:12

Story: The king of Jerusalem heard that the people of Gibeon had made a treaty of peace with Israel and had become their allies. So King of Israel along with 4 other kings attacked Gibeon, people of Gibeon asked Joshua to come and help.

Joshua went and fought and defeated all the kings, two outstanding miracles happened in this campaign.

1. When enemy fled before Israel the Lord hurled large hailstones down on them, and more of them died from the hail than were killed by the swords of the Israelites.

2. When Joshua prayed, the sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.

Lesson: We know Lord is always the same, then why there is no outstanding miracles like this now. Is it because Lord is not able to find a man like Joshua. Can we be the Joshua of this generation? And also how could Joshua pray for something that is beyond our imagination? Where is that kind of faith ?

Lord fighting on our behalf, but there is duty that we need to do, fight with the sword (Prayer), and the Lord will reply to our prayer by hail (devouring power). Where is our hope? Are we overwhelmed by our situation, then lets step forward in faith.

Prayer: Father Lord, help me to be a man of faith and a man of prayer. Amen.

Abraham answered, “God himself will provide Gen 22:8

Story: God tested Abraham, by asking Abraham to sacrifice His only son. Abraham obeyed and took his son to the mountain Lord showed. As the two of them went on together, Isaac spoke up “The fire and wood are here but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?” Abraham answered, “God himself will provide“.

Abraham bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar. Then took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of the Lord called out “Do not lay a hand on the boy. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son.

Abraham looked up saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son. So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide.

Lesson: Even if it is painful to execute; obedience has tremendous power to change life for ever. How could Abraham tell His son, God will provide when he had no idea at that point on what the Lord plan was. Blindly trusted in the goodness of God. Abraham was ready to sacrifice the most precious thing in His life for the love of God. Have we any time sacrificed anything of our loving savior.

Prayer: Father Lord, my priorities are not right. Change me Lord that my passion and purpose will be to know the power of your presence. Amen.

The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Ps 34:18

 When we are afflicted what should we do? How can we be saved? What is the Lord expecting us to do? Lord is close and He will save.

 Stop, Look and Ask: Stop dwelling in the thoughts of trouble, start looking at Jesus “Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.” Ps 34:5 and ask the Lord for help “I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.” Ps 34:4.

 Fear God: Let us stop fearing our situation and start fearing the Almighty “Fear the LORD, you his holy people, for those who fear him lack nothing.” Ps 34:9. When the Lord sees a person who fears the Almighty, the word says “The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.” Ps 34:7

Prayer: Lord my Father, I cry out to you, you have cleansed me by the blood of Jesus. I believe “The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.” Ps 34:17
