BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Isaiah 35; Isaiah 36; Luke 1; Luke 2
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Genesis 41:37-57
37 So the advice was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants.
38 And Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?”
39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Inasmuch as God has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.
40 You shall be over my house, and all my people shall be ruled according to your word; only in regard to the throne will I be greater than you.”
41 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.”
42 Then Pharaoh took his signet ring off his hand and put it on Joseph’s hand; and he clothed him in garments of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck.
43 And he had him ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried out before him, “Bow the knee!” So he set him over all the land of Egypt.
44 Pharaoh also said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, and without your consent no man may lift his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.”
45 And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphnath-Paaneah. And he gave him as a wife Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On. So Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.
46 Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
47 Now in the seven plentiful years the ground brought forth abundantly.
48 So he gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities; he laid up in every city the food of the fields which surrounded them.
49 Joseph gathered very much grain, as the sand of the sea, until he stopped counting, for it was immeasurable.
50 And to Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him.
51 Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: “For God has made me forget all my toil and all my father’s house.”
52 And the name of the second he called Ephraim: “For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
53 Then the seven years of plenty which were in the land of Egypt ended,
54 and the seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph had said. The famine was in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
55 So when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread. Then Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph; whatever he says to you, do.”
56 The famine was over all the face of the earth, and Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold to the Egyptians. And the famine became severe in the land of Egypt.
57 So all countries came to Joseph in Egypt to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all lands.
MEMORY VERSE: Psalm 75:6-7
For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: He putteth down one, and setteth up another.
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE: Whatever you get from self-promotion, you sustain through self-promotion. When our promotion comes from God, he sustains it.
PRAISE AND WORSHIP:
Take praise and worship songs as led by the Holy Spirit.
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
The Lord will take you up from that valley of problems to your mountaintop of testimonies, in the name of Jesus.

MFM DAILY DEVOTIONAL 14TH SEPTEMBER 2024
Joseph’s life and history can be summarised with our topic for today: “From Problem to Promotion”. He was a child of destiny and his dreams had revealed that to him. However, suddenly right before his eyes, the future that looked so beautiful came crashing. He, who was the favorite child of his father, became a slave in the house of Potiphar after been sold off by his brothers.
This would have been so devastating for Joseph. Don’t you think so? The devil threw another blow after he saw that Joseph was fast rising again. When Potiphar made him the head of all the slaves, Joseph ended up in the prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Although in the face of the storm, he kept the right attitude. The story of Joseph is a perfect example of moving from problem to promotion because it just felt like things would never change positively for him.
However, something facilitated Joseph’s change from problem to promotion. He was diligent even in problems. He wasn’t complaining neither did he forsake God. He would rather be in prison than sin against his God. He was forgotten in the prison but the God that he jealously proved his love for decided to show up for him. He created an opportunity that would take Joseph to the palace. It was an accelerated promotion for Joseph. The dream that felt like it would never come to pass, just in a moment, became a reality.
Is your life like that of Joseph? Nothing is working? You have found yourself in some sort of problem? Just like Joseph, there can be a divine turnaround for you. There is a divine promotion for all those who trust in God. However, to qualify for that turnaround, you must first give your life to Jesus. You must become a faithful and diligent worshipper of God. You must love the word of God and live by it. You must also pray without ceasing and demonstrate courageous trust towards the Lord your God.
