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

We talked about the Word of God being our life and about the fact that our right attitude towards it can prolong our days.

Today I would like to look at another facet that demonstrates the significance of God’s Word for us.

    For several days now we have been discussing the how the gift when it is used makes room for us and takes us before great people. When the gift is used it broadens our possibilities and destroys limitations. Thank God for creating us just the way we are.Dear friend, you have been given the things you need to start your supernatural ministry. Do not view your gift as being something small and insignificant. When Jesus told His disciples to feed the multitude, they argued with Him, saying: “We have here only five loaves and two fish”. I guess the disciples expected Jesus to say: «Oh, yes! Then let the people go, because we don’t have enough for everyone!» But Jesus did not say that. He managed to feel the multitude of people because one little boy gave back to the Lord the little he had.

  • Doctrine shows us which direction we should take

    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
