Commit to Memory: “The king sent for Joseph, and he was immediately brought from the prison. After he had shaved and changed his clothes, he came into the king’s presence” (Genesis 41:14 GNT).
Favour is the ambience that attracts all pleasantness to be drawn towards a person to ensure he succeeds in all his or her endeavours. As we look at the life of Joseph, we see that he always was in favour with God and men. What was it that made the king to send for Joseph? What was it that made the life of Joseph an attraction of favour not just with mean men but nobles and royalties and God? See what the Bible says concerning Joseph in Psalm 105:20
“The king sent and released him; the ruler of peoples set him free”.
Among many other things, Joseph was a man that feared God. This he portrayed when he was lured and left all alone with his master’s wife. I see a picture of Potiphar’s wife telling Joseph see Handsome you don’t need to be scared about the eventuality of this pleasurable moment that is possible of changing your life before my eyes and that of my husband. All I ask of you is just a onetime pleasure with you, just you and me, no one is here as I have carefully orchestrated their absence this period today. I have made up my mind to keep it a secret between us and I tell you Joe except you tell my husband- your master, he will and can never know nor believe your side of the story you tell him, he will always choose to believe me- his wife and you know the kind of pain this could bring and cost you if you do not corporate with me at this moment. So my dear Joe, lie with me.
For a user of this inspiration, may the Lord birth in you an affinity and passion to love and stand for righteousness now and always that He may exalt you far above all thy fellows.
Reflection: Until you esteem obedience to God above anything and anyone, your exodus to a life of favour will linger.
