TOPIC: YOUR MIND – YOUR GATEWAY TO YOUR FUTURE
SCRIPTURE: Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt. Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.
Genesis 41:33-34.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Your gift may make you see some measure of result, but it takes your mind to arrive at your future.
While Joseph was in Prison, he was interpreting other people’s dreams. Then, Pharaoh, the king of Egypt had a troubling dream. The chief butler, whose dream he once interpreted, told Pharaoh about Joseph, and Pharaoh sent for him.
Joseph came before Pharaoh, and Pharaoh asked him a question, “I have dreamt a dream, can you interpret it for me?”
Joseph told him that he could interpret his dream.
Thus, Joseph interpreted Pharaoh’s dream and also gave the solution to the dream.
Now, if Joseph had stopped at interpreting the dream, Pharaoh would have probably appreciated him and said, “Thank you, Joseph. Please take this gift and go back to the prison”
But Joseph did not only interpret the dream; he gave the solution to the dream. Thus by his gift, he gave interpretation, but by his mind, he gave the solution. His gift brought him out of prison, but the gift could not keep him out of prison.
After interpreting Pharaoh’s dream, he went the extra mile and told Pharoah, “Pharaoh, I want you to appoint a wise man and set him over the land of Egypt to gather food in the first seven years of abundance against the seven years of famine.” (Genesis 41:33-37, paraphrased).
Joseph was describing himself to Pharoah.
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Why are you prescribing another person to me? You are the person.” That was how Joseph was appointed by Pharoah to do the job.
The truth is, your gift may make you see some measure of result, but it takes your mind to arrive at your future.
You need a correct mentality to be ushered into your correct destiny.
If you must fulfil your destiny, you must use your mind positively, productively and creatively.
REMEMBER THIS: Your gift may make you see some measure of result, but it takes your mind to arrive at your future.
