DO YOU BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS INTERESTED IN YOUR SUCCESS


DO YOU BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS INTERESTED IN YOUR SUCCESS?

JESUS IS INFINITELY interested in your TOTAL WELL-BEING – In your family, career, marriage, ministry, fulfillment in life, and so the list just keeps on and on! Some think He has got the whole universe to run and is not interested in their miniscule problems and concerns. Remember IF IT BOTHERS YOU IT BOTHERS HIM!

DO YOU KNOW HOW IMPORTANT YOU ARE TO JESUS? He knows you perfectly, and yet accepts and loves you perfectly. That is truly undeserved favor from Jesus. Jesus' undeserved favor will protect, provide, prosper, deliver and bring restoration to you. PSALMS 35:27 “LET THE LORD BE MAGNIFIED, WHO HAS PLEASURE IN THE PROSPERITY OF HIS SERVANT.”

GOD'S UNMERITED FAVOR IS NOT A SUBJECT, IT'S A PERSON AND HIS NAME IS JESUS. The more you increase in the knowledge of our loving Savior Jesus Christ and His finished work at the cross, the more GOD'S UNMERITED FAVOR will manifest itself in your life. It will cause you to enjoy SUCCESS beyond your natural ability, intelligence and qualifications.

The worlds definition of success is based on what you have accomplished and accumulated but GOD'S DEFINITION is completely contrary to that.

DEFINITION: SUCCESS IS NOT WHAT YOU HAVE BUT RATHER WHO YOU HAVE. It's the presence of the Lord in your life that makes you a success. We need to stop pursuing things and start pursuing God – that is the only thing that you need for every success in your life.

CAN YOU IMAGINE A WORSE PLACE than JOSEPH – completely naked, no bank accounts, no qualifications, no family, no connections – BUT he had God. That can give someone HOPE today, your situation might be as bad as it can get – BUT if GOD is WITH YOU and you believe in His POWER and PRESENCE in your life you are already a SUCCESS!

Joseph knew the source of his success, favor and blessing was not his employer but the Lord himself and he was not willing to compromise that. DON'T EVALUATE GOD'S PRESENCE AND FAVOR ON YOUR CIRCUMSTACES Joseph refuses her advances and she maliciously accuses him of trying to rape her.

Joseph goes to jail but keeps his focus on the Lord and not his circumstances – JUST LISTEN TO HIS DELIVERANCE:

GEN 39:21-23 BUT THE LORD WAS WITH JOSEPH AND SHOWED HIM MERCY, AND HE GAVE HIM FAVOR IN THE SIGHT OF THE KEEPER OF THE PRISON. 22 AND THE KEEPER OF THE PRISON COMMITTED TO JOSEPH’S HAND ALL THE PRISONERS WHO WERE IN THE PRISON; WHATEVER THEY DID THERE, IT WAS HIS DOING. 23 THE KEEPER OF THE PRISON DID NOT LOOK INTO ANYTHING THAT WAS UNDER JOSEPH’S AUTHORITY, BECAUSE THE LORD WAS WITH HIM; AND WHATEVER HE DID, THE LORD MADE IT PROSPER.

YOUR LOWEST POINTS ARE LAUNCHING PADS TO GOD'S GREATEST PROMOTION:

Let's rewind the tape and watch GOD'S FINGERPRINTS:

  • If Joseph was not betrayed by his brothers, he would not have been a slave.

  • If he had not been sold as a slave, he would not have been in Potiphar's house,

  • If he was not in Potiphar's house he would not have landed up in an Egyptian prison to lay out the dreams of Pharaoh's officers.

  • If he did not interpret their dreams he could not interpret Pharaoh's dreams two years later.

  • If he had not interpreted Pharaoh's dreams he would not have been promoted to become the Prime Minister of the whole of Egypt.

THE SAME LORD THAT WAS WITH JOSEPH IS WITH YOU RIGHT NOW! YOU CANNOT FAIL! YOU CAN HAVE SUCCESS BEYOND YOUR PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCE.

PRACTICE JESUS' PRESENCE BY THANKING AND APPRECIATING HIM – One of the best ways to practice His Presence is to thank Him all the time for everything – there is no limit. Even when you have problems thank Him because He is bigger than any problem, WHAT YOU APPRECIATE APPRECIATES IN VALUE IN YOUR LIFE.

God wants you to succeed and with His presence you can. His grace and favor will swing open doors of opportunity and position you for blessing even if you lack the qualifications.

The Power of Words

Image
The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences. Proverbs 18:21‭ NLT The tongue is a powerful tool. It can be used to build up or tear down, to encourage or discourage, to heal or harm. The Bible says that the tongue "can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences" (Proverbs 18:21). Our words have the power to affect others in a profound way. They can make someone feel loved and appreciated, or they can make them feel hurt and rejected. They can build someone up or tear them down. They can be used to spread gossip and lies, or they can be used to speak truth and love. The way we use our words is a reflection of our character. If we are quick to speak harsh words, it shows that we are not kind or compassionate. If we are constantly gossiping and spreading rumors, it shows that we are untrustworthy and manipulative. But if we are careful about what we say and use our words to build up others, it shows that we

The Power of Prayer

  Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land. 2 Chronicles‬ ‭7:14‬ ‭NLT‬‬ 2 Chronicles 7:14 is a powerful verse that contains God's promise to restore His people and their land if they will humble themselves, pray, seek His face, and turn from their wicked ways. This promise was originally given to the nation of Israel, but it has relevance for believers today. Humility Humility is the first step towards true repentance and spiritual growth. When we humble ourselves, we acknowledge our sinfulness and our need for God's forgiveness. We also recognize that God is in control of our lives and that we are dependent on Him. Prayer Prayer is the way we communicate with God. When we pray, we express our love and gratitude for Him, and we ask for His help and guidance. Prayer is also a powerful way to intercede for others and
