Delayed, Not Forgotten

TOPIC: Delayed, Not Forgotten

BIBLE TEXT: Genesis 40vs22 – And he restored the chief baker; as Joseph had interpreted to them. vs23 – Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgot him.

41vs1-14 – and it came to pass at the end of two full years…… there was with a young man, an Hebrew and he interpreted to us our dreams…… Then pharaoh sent and called Joseph.

Joseph was a child of God diligent and favoured on the will of God. He was wrongly accused by Mrs. Potiphar and imprisoned with the chief butler of Pharaoh. Both men dreamt and were worried and sad because they lacked interpretation of their dreams. Now God used Joseph to reveal unto the both of them the interpretation thereof within five days it came to pass. But the butler forgot the good Joseph did for him while in the prison.

The goodnews here is that it was delayed and not forgotten because after 3 days God established the chief butler and it took 2 years for him to remember Joseph’s good deed. In this process of time God was working out the seat of a prime minister for Joseph and he attained it through patience and forgiveness. If Joseph was bitter towards the chief butler, he would have missed the seat of promise by misbehavior.

Has God promised to lift you or establish you and it seems like He has forgotten? NO He hasn’t, the word of God says to us all in Habakkuk 2vs3 – For the vision/promise is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie; though it tarry (delays), wait for it; it will surely come; it will not tarry.

Prayer: LORD, I wait on you for I know that you have not forgotten me, thank you Jesus for it shall no longer delay.

Insight: Wait in patience and trust God all the way.

Capsule One - (WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY?)

May 1st – Capsule 1 TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY? BIBLE TEXT: Let us lay aside every weight and sin which easily beset us … Hebrews 12 vs. 1 You will start getting well when getting well is what matters most to you. Let your desperation drive you beyond concern about the opinions of others. As long as you are more conscious of people than you are of God, you will never get what you need. When Hannah, Samuel’s mother, prayed in the temple, there was so much locked inside her that when she began to pray and pour her heart out, Eli thought she was drunk (see 1 Samuel 1 vs. 13). God is raising up people who will confound us – radical Christians. Like those on the day of Pentecost, they were hungry for God. They will raise the roof to get to Jesus. They had carefully laid plans, and cry like blind Bartimaeus, “Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me” (Mark 10 vs. 47). When you are blind, all that matters is receiving your sight. When it looks like there’s no way out fo...

DO TI NOW

May 11th – Capsule 11 TOPIC : DO IT NOW BIBLE TEXT : Redeeming the time, because the days are evil – Ephesians 5 vs. 16 How many times have you said, “I will do it tomorrow?” sometimes you put somethings off because you don’t think you know enough, can’t do it well enough. The fact is, there is no magic age at which excellence emerges and quality suddenly surfaces. Thomas Jefferson was 33 when he drafted the Declaration of Independence. Charles Dickens was 24 when he began his Pickwick Papers, and 25 when he wrote Oliver Twist. Newton was 24 when he formulated The Law of Gravity. A second danger is to think that creativity and invention belong to the young. Not so! Emmanuel Kant wrote his finest philosophical work at age 74. Verdi at 80 produced crossing the Bar, and Michelangelo completed his greatest work at 87, Moses was 80 when he led God’s people out of Egypt and 120 when he got to Canaan. Seize the day! Redeem the new moments of your life. Because the time and age ...
