Dear brothers and sisters,
Loving greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ. Today let us see about the importance of having the spirit
of God in our lives. When we have the spirit of God we can interpret
any dream or vision and unfold the difficult puzzles of our life
and future with the help of God the Holy Spirit. The king of Egypt
the Pharaoh rightly told about Joseph that he has the Spirit of
God. The Pharaoh went through a problem since there was no one
to help him to know the interpretation of the dream what he saw
as in Gen 41:24, “I told this to the magicians, but none
could explain it to me." Like this many are having their
own problems today as a child of the almighty God you and I have
the Spirit of God to help them. If we really want to do the glorious
ministry for the lord we have to wait in the presence of God and
get the anointing of God. That is why Jesus Christ commanded His
disciples to wait and receive the Holy Spirit as in Acts 1:4 &
5, “On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave
them this command: "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for
the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about.
For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized
with the Holy Spirit."
God told through the prophet Joel that in the
last days he will pour out His Spirit on all flesh as in Joel
2:28, “'And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all
people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will
dream dreams, your young men will see visions.” Apostle
Paul says through the Holy Spirit God gives the gifts to all the
believers so that all can be out standing in any human standard
and be useful to others as Joseph was used by God as in 1 Cor
12:8 to 11, “To one there is given through the Spirit the
message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means
of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another
gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers,
to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits,
to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still
another the interpretation of tongues. All these are the work
of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just
as he determines.”
When we are useful to settle the puzzles of life
to others who are worried about their future through the help
of the Holy Spirit like Joseph did here then, like this the kings
and other leaders will honor us greatly as we read today. When
God reveal the secrets and mysteries of others life through us
people will really honor us like this as in Gen 41:40 to 45:
1. You shall be in charge of my palace,
2. And all my people are to submit to your orders.
3. Only with respect to the throne will I be greater than you."
4. Gen 41:41, “So Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I hereby
put you in charge of the whole land of Egypt."
5. Gen 41:42, “Then Pharaoh took his signet ring from his
finger and put it on Joseph's finger.
6. He dressed him in robes of fine linen
7. And put a gold chain around his neck.
8. Gen 41:43, “He had him ride in a chariot as his second-in-command,
9. And men shouted before him, "Make way!" Thus he put
him in charge of the whole land of Egypt.
10. Gen 41:44, “Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I am
Pharaoh, but without your word no one will lift hand or foot in
all Egypt."
11. Gen 41:45, “Pharaoh gave Joseph the name Zaphenath-Paneah.”
12. And gave him Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On,
to be his wife. And Joseph went throughout the land of Egypt.
May the Lord bless each one of us today to have
these spiritual gifts. Let us start thinking that all mysteries
are belongs to our God as Joseph thought as in Gen 40:8, “We
both had dreams," they answered, "but there is no one
to interpret them." Then Joseph said to them, "Do not
interpretations belong to God? Tell me your dreams." Amen.
