Commit to Memory: “From the day Joseph was put in charge of his master’s household and property, the Lord began to bless Potiphar’s household for Joseph’s sake. All his household affairs ran smoothly, and his crops and livestock flourished.” (Genesis 39:5 NLT)

The Bible is replete of examples of men and women who were blessed by association. Yesterday we learnt that Laban saw by the testimonies Jacob brought to his household were traceable to having Jacob around him, he saw by his unimaginable increase in possession and understood that God blessed him because of his association with Jacob. Immediately Abraham met Mechizedeck, the blessings that will abound for many generations was pronounced and right away it was activated. Halelluyah.

In today’s commit to memory, we see that portiphar was blessed because of his association with Joseph and Joseph in turn was blessed and became a blessing because he had a robust association with God and this made him an attraction of favour any day, any time and every where. Genesis 39:2-6 says:

“The LORD was with Joseph such that he became a successful man, and he was in the house of his Egyptian master. His master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD caused all that he did to succeed in his hands. So Joseph found favor in his sight and he made him overseer of his house and put him in charge of all that he had. From the time that he made him overseer in his house and over all that he had the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; the blessing of the LORD was on all that he had, in house and field. So he left all that he had in Joseph’s charge, and because of him he had no concern about anything but the food he ate…”

Friends, there are heights you can never reach if you are not associated with the blessed; there are certain appointments that you will enjoy by the privilege of your connection with the blessed. There are certain opportunities that will repeatedly come your way by reason of your blessed association. This means that there are somethings in life that you can only purchase by a blessed association. This is because life’s race is not centred in certificates, nor does it answer to the swift, intelligent and strong, but one currency that can purchase any and everything is a blessed association. What is the quality of your association?

Reflection: Your association determines your lifting, possession or otherwise.

Prayer Lines: Father, attract to me lives that are relevant to my all round development and lifting.
