Delayed, Not Forgotten

DATE: September 25, 2021

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.

IT RUBS OFF

AUGUST 9th - CAPSULE 9 TOPIC: IT RUBS OFF BIBLE TEXT: Exodus 34 vs. 29 – His face glowed from being in the presence of God. You can only talk convincingly about the God you know, the one you’ve spent time with. Any other God belongs in a theology book, and you will have a hard time selling Him. When Moses came down from the mountain, his face shone. He had been in God’s presence, and when you’ve been there it shows in the way you look, the way you walk and talk, the way you treat your family, the way you spend your money and the way you respond to hurting people. It rubs off!   Paul Cain says “most of us are as close to God as we want to be”. Think about it “Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you” (James 4 vs. 8). How could you possibly be the same when you’ve been with Him? He transforms everything He touches. Listen – He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91 vs. 1). He didn’t say “visit” or...

The Good Slow

DATE 📅 19th September, 2022 TOPIC The Good Slow LIVING SCRIPTURE Habakkuk 2:3 KJV For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. A mango tree starts from a seed planted in the soil, from a mango fruit. It usually takes weeks or sometimes days for the leaves to grow or sprout and then it takes years before it can produce those edible mango fruits which we all like to chew. Likewise a young child cannot start behaving like a grown man or handling responsibilities automatically. Just like the fruits that once started as a seed, so is the LORD'S work everyday for His children if only we believe that it is settled. To tarry is to delay a thing or a matter, but the Lord said, it will surely come to pass it will no longer delay. Sometimes we experience the tarrying process and many think God is slow and not responsive to their needs. Many seek out alternati...

Heaven

Date 📅 25th November, 2022 Topic Heaven (Trading Talents) Living Scripture Matthew 25:14 KJV For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. The Kingdom of Heaven was described by our Lord Jesus Christ in various descriptive narratives pointing out the hidden truth in several parables. Heaven contains important life lessons on the purpose of every child of God here on earth and finding it makes the will of God visible to us and achievable here on earth. This morning we see Heaven from the business man perspective, enriching and equipping His own servants with goods that are all profitable. Heaven is real and Christ Jesus only invest in His own servants. God doesn't bless a mess, He works with as many who believes in Christ Jesus His Son who died for the world. God instructs His Son to deposit into every child of His talents that will favor them, show that they are useful and can work with Heaven....
