You can prosper under any circumstances all it takes is for you to pay the price for God to be with you

ByMācītājs Rufus Adžiboije Reading Time: 4 minutes
Dear friends, I want us to continue examine the life of Joseph. The lesson from his life that we will be focusing on today is this: You can prosper under any circumstances all it takes is for you to pay the price for God to be with you. No matter what you do, no matter what your status in life and no matter what your circumstances, if you can have access to the presence of God, you will succeed. Joseph was in slavery, sold to a foreign land by his own blood brothers, but that could not stop his prosperity. What really determine our success or prosperity in life is the presence of God with us. The way might not be easy. The journey might be longer than we think, but if God is with us the way will be decked with the goodness and the favour of God. In all his afflictions, Joseph was able to pay the price to access the presence of God. What was it that Joseph did? He held unto his integrity, he demonstrated his love for God through consistence obedience to God and he followed the ways of God in the land of his affliction. 
“And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither. 2 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. 3 And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand. 4 And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand” (Genesis 39:1-4)
 Genesis 39: 20-22 God presence was all that Joseph needed. This little boy of 17 years old was stripped of basically everything in life; his mother died, his mother and relatives were far away, he was living in a foreign country with people of different culture speaking a foreign language unknown to him. With all these circumstances in his life, Joseph had no chance at all to make it. It seems life itself is against him. But alas, when God is with someone, he has no lack at all. The person with whom God is has all it takes to be successful and to become whom he has been destined by God to be. Study the lives of all the people with whom it was said “and God was with him” and you will notice that despite all the terrible and dangerous situations they found themselves in, they all became a shinned like bright stars in their generation. Dear reader, may be you have been rejected by friends, may be you have been rejected by love ones, may be your mother and mother have forsaken you, may be your husband has just left you for another lady or your wife has just left you to marry a more prosperous man, may be you have just lost a bread winner or a close relative. Your world may have seemed to collapsing right now. Hey, listen to God’s word to you today. Stay in tune with God! He is all that you need in this life. Pay whatever price it takes to acquire His presence in your life. I guarantee you that the reward will be far greater than any price you will pay.Remember, if God be for you, no one and nothing can be against you. 
“What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?” (Roman 8: 31).
 May His majestic presence accompany your day today! Remain blessed Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

  • Jesus got to know God´s will and fulfilled His mission

    For the fact that Jesus got to know God´s will and fulfilled His mission we can enter the presence of God, receive forgiveness of our sins and get answers to our prayers today. It´s important to notice that fate of many people depends on do we or do we not fulfil our mission and God´s will in our lives. In case we fail to accomplish the mission, some people will not enter their fate or the fulfilment of their mission will experience a delay. That´s why Jesus treated God´s will and its fulfilment in the most serious way. The job of His Father who sent Him was the highest priority in Jesus life.

If you truly love someone, you will never ask from them what they do not have.Forget about what you do not have, think about what you do have. Be sure that you own a lot!

  • God wants prayer to become priority in the lives of His children!

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    Everything that devil has bound up in your life – your miracle, your promises, – can be released to you by the supernatural power of God. But for it to happen, prayer must become your number 1 priority.Take any Bible story and you will see what powerful prayer of believers is able to accomplish. For example, what did Daniel do when he was thrown into lions’ den? Did he pray? No, it was too late to pray. He had been praying long before he got to this point in his life. It is too late to pray when you are in a den with some lions. You must pray before anything like that happens! Daniel prayed three times a day every day.

    When we read the Bible we receive doctrine, which means we start to see where we should go. Through the reading of the Bible we are shown the direction for our thought life, our words and all other areas of our lives.Besides, the Bible is profitable for reproof. Quite often we start walking the way the Bible has shown us, but then we somehow get distracted, lose the right direction and get sidetracked. It is through reproof that we are shown that we have taken the wrong path

Lift your hands toward Him for the life of your young children, who faint from hunger at the head of every street» (Lamentations, 2:19).This is not a routine call to ordinary prayer, but a call to cry out to God to send a revival and deliver our children and the next generation from inevitable disasters and tragedies. Every serious revival has started with people’s heartfelt cry directed to God.
