He met
Speaker#1:
00:06:06.25 – 00:06:21.549
I believe this morning that before I bring the word I want to share for those of you that have not really met me before I want to share a little bit of our ministry We are from Nigeria we are from Delta State in particular
Speaker#1:
00:06:21.779 – 00:06:45.609
Uh God has blessed us with a ministry uh that reach the reach uh preaching in the villages raising the people of God smashing them from the kingdom of darkness and bringing them into the kingdom of light We plant churches we dig wells and we do all kind of things Now before
Speaker#1:
00:06:46.14 – 00:07:13.66
I continue I want to say something about our nation Nigeria our nation Nigeria is a blessed nation is a nation that God has blessed with so much resources and so many good things But because of the corrupt leaders that has ruled the nation they have ruled the nation to ruin There is nothing good
Speaker#1:
00:07:14.019 – 00:07:16.94
that has come out of their leadership
Speaker#1:
00:07:17.459 – 00:07:31.959
Um As I’m talking to you right now before we left since November our nation has fully spiraled down so much that we are very close to becoming a failed state
Speaker#1:
00:07:35.35 – 00:07:36.609
In November
Speaker#1:
00:07:38.54 – 00:07:43.42
money Our currency was mocked out of circulation
Speaker#1:
00:07:44.609 – 00:07:46.109
with a promise that
Speaker#1:
00:07:47.0 – 00:07:50.899
the government want to redesign our currency
Speaker#1:
00:07:52.73 – 00:08:01.609
and and that was to take place within two or three months We waited November December January
Speaker#1:
00:08:02.269 – 00:08:07.029
The new currency was not coming out As from January ending
Speaker#1:
00:08:07.7 – 00:08:09.38
there was no money in circulation
Speaker#1:
00:08:10.149 – 00:08:14.579
We started buying our own money with our money
Speaker#1:
00:08:15.709 – 00:08:24.75
If you want $10,000 you have to pay 5000 to buy 10
Speaker#1:
00:08:25.829 – 00:08:27.22
You go to banks
Speaker#1:
00:08:28.66 – 00:08:36.419
in the morning by seven AM You cannot enter the premises Our band in Nigeria they are all world
Speaker#1:
00:08:37.0 – 00:08:40.26
with gate gated war I mean gated premises
Speaker#1:
00:08:41.15 – 00:09:07.169
People out of anxiousness wanted to get their money They go as early as seven o’clock they will be outside the gate wait till some time till 12 o’clock A handful of them will be brought into the premises but cannot enter inside the building many a time They will go in and come back by five PM not having anything to show for all that day wasted
Speaker#1:
00:09:07.77 – 00:09:08.679
And so
Speaker#1:
00:09:09.229 – 00:09:11.299
it has been sold for months now
Speaker#1:
00:09:12.03 – 00:09:14.19
and um it is terrible
Speaker#1:
00:09:14.77 – 00:09:16.369
We cannot get gas
Speaker#1:
00:09:17.159 – 00:09:23.96
we have to queue all day to get gas And because of the demand and lack of supply
Speaker#1:
00:09:24.479 – 00:09:30.38
the inflation the price has become skyrocketed There is no electricity
Speaker#1:
00:09:31.359 – 00:09:36.309
and therefore you depend on generator but you don’t have gas to run Your generator
Speaker#1:
00:09:36.919 – 00:09:38.27
would depend on
Speaker#1:
00:09:39.229 – 00:10:05.099
diesel generator but you cannot find diesel to run your general So the whole nation is upside down now that is economic wise Now we talk about spiritually and politically we are being persecuted from all side The they they are the one ruling right now because our president current president is a person
Speaker#1:
00:10:05.969 – 00:10:22.63
They have bent on taking over Nigeria by all means So they go to villages and Rasa villages and take over villages as as much as they can Killing is on the order of the day and there is no consequence
Speaker#1:
00:10:23.349 – 00:10:33.289
My member was shot dead two years ago and last year another one escape being kidnapped with bullet wounds
Speaker#1:
00:10:34.479 – 00:10:37.45
A month ago my nephew was kidnapped
Speaker#1:
00:10:38.059 – 00:10:54.65
and we prayed and prayed and prayed and God delivered him It is a time of celebration to because many of the victims that were kidnapped ransomed ransom appeared for them But yet they are killed
Speaker#1:
00:10:55.409 – 00:11:08.469
and so they collect the money and then you collect the cops in exchange And so it’s a messed up nation Christians are being persecuted men and women are being killed kidnapped daily
Speaker#1:
00:11:09.01 – 00:11:12.109
And so I’m sure it is to say that
Speaker#1:
00:11:13.109 – 00:11:14.07
bread rain
Speaker#1:
00:11:14.71 – 00:11:16.94
we are in the last days
Speaker#1:
00:11:17.51 – 00:11:22.21
and we in Nigeria we are calling for your support
Speaker#1:
00:11:24.099 – 00:11:26.229
to pray for us
Speaker#1:
00:11:27.63 – 00:11:33.719
You know somebody asked me Chris why are you still there Why not move to the state You have connection you have friends you have
Speaker#1:
00:11:34.299 – 00:11:36.309
judges where you have people
Speaker#1:
00:11:37.13 – 00:11:41.049
But the point is this if everybody run the devil wins
Speaker#1:
00:11:41.799 – 00:11:46.729
if I turn my back because I’m afraid of persecution what will I tell Jesus
Speaker#1:
00:11:48.82 – 00:12:05.63
You know so I tell them that if the Lord has not given me go ahead I’m not going to do it We will stay put and keep on being a beacon of light We keep on preaching and preaching and preaching until He comes
Speaker#1:
00:12:06.419 – 00:12:34.57
amen And so and that is what is happening in our nation But in our ministry thank God God is blessing us We are reaching out we are seeing more new new new souls being saved to the Lord Jesus Christ a new opportunity being open and we are taking advantage of every opportunity to take the gospel to every nook and crony as God gives us the time and the privilege
Speaker#1:
00:12:34.76 – 00:12:47.89
And so this morning before I bring the word of God I just wanna show you one particular area of our passion co operation Christmas blessing is a time that we take all kinds of goods
Speaker#1:
00:12:48.969 – 00:13:02.09
doctors and whatever you can name we take it to the villages and we minister to the enrich people We give them the physical things and then we present the gospel of Jesus Christ to them
Speaker#1:
00:13:02.95 – 00:13:04.69
Nobody care for them
Speaker#1:
00:13:05.5 – 00:13:27.739
as part government care But I believe that Jesus cares and we thank God that we are the hands of Jesus We are the feet of Jesus We are the heart of Jesus and we are the mouth of Jesus and all this is done also because we have people like you that have been part of the ministry in supporting and in giving
Speaker#1:
00:13:28.5 – 00:13:32.34
Hey man And so just for a few minutes we want to watch this already
Speaker#1:
00:17:35.969 – 00:17:37.099
Amen
Speaker#1:
00:17:38.839 – 00:17:40.339
Hallelujah
Speaker#1:
00:17:46.64 – 00:17:55.369
I truly want to thank God for life Spring Life Spring has been a source of encouragement to our ministry
Speaker#1:
00:17:55.88 – 00:18:15.579
and we thank you so much Some of you may not be able to go but your gift your offerings and your prayer empowers us and through your love many are reached And I believe that some sometimes when you meet Jesus you’re gonna surprise
Speaker#1:
00:18:16.56 – 00:18:29.869
when the Lord begin to reach out to you and bless you with so much reward And you will say God how did I I’m not qualified The Lord say you remember you send help give to Africa
Speaker#1:
00:18:30.38 – 00:18:48.55
and many souls we won because of your gift and because of your prayer and God will bless you for that again Ones I want to thank God for the life of pastor Ron that led the team And so they know what we’re talking about They were there and they saw for themselves
Speaker#1:
00:18:49.569 – 00:18:50.65
there’s money
Speaker#1:
00:18:51.53 – 00:19:11.739
I’m so honored to be here so privileged And I believe that God has something to share something to say whenever the people of God got us God has something to say And I pray this morning that you will open your heart to receive
Speaker#1:
00:19:12.42 – 00:19:18.4
I wish I could speak like Bill or speak like Dave But unfortunately I cannot speak like them
Speaker#1:
00:19:18.959 – 00:19:25.109
I can speak the way I’m speaking now And guess what when they come to Africa
Speaker#1:
00:19:26.719 – 00:19:29.359
nobody understand what they are saying
Speaker#1:
00:19:30.92 – 00:19:38.839
and somebody has to interpret or translate for them But I what I’m trying because you don’t need a translation from me
Speaker#1:
00:19:39.689 – 00:19:40.359
A man
Speaker#1:
00:19:41.31 – 00:19:55.28
Well listening this morning I feel that the Lord has something special to say to somebody It could be for everyone It could also be for a particular individual or family Shall we pray
Speaker#1:
00:19:56.42 – 00:20:11.0
Precious father I thank you this morning I ask oh God that you touch my lips touch my tongues touch my heart The Lord that I would be a vessel for you to communicate your heart to communicate
Speaker#1:
00:20:11.819 – 00:20:34.91
your wish and your desire That the Bible says that unto you shall the gathering of the people be as we gather this morning Lord your people are not here to hear me but they are here to hear you I’m just a mouth piece speak through me and give a hearing ear and an understanding heart This I pray in Jesus name Amen
Speaker#1:
00:20:35.989 – 00:20:38.75
The message this morning is titled
Speaker#1:
00:20:40.239 – 00:20:41.479
break down
Speaker#1:
00:20:42.64 – 00:20:45.599
break through and break out
Speaker#1:
00:20:47.869 – 00:20:49.119
break down
Speaker#1:
00:20:50.189 – 00:20:53.189
break through and break out
Speaker#1:
00:20:53.869 – 00:20:59.41
As I studied the Bible I discovered that it is a pattern
Speaker#1:
00:21:00.339 – 00:21:01.109
that
Speaker#1:
00:21:03.66 – 00:21:05.78
we can see in the scripture
Speaker#1:
00:21:08.3 – 00:21:09.609
some time
Speaker#1:
00:21:10.119 – 00:21:11.589
in our lives
Speaker#1:
00:21:12.89 – 00:21:15.14
when we go through a situation
Speaker#1:
00:21:17.27 – 00:21:18.469
we are quick
Speaker#1:
00:21:20.14 – 00:21:22.459
to think that God doesn’t care
Speaker#1:
00:21:23.079 – 00:21:31.079
or God has forsaken us or something is wrong with us or something is wrong with our environment
Speaker#1:
00:21:31.79 – 00:21:36.239
But some time God may have allowed
Speaker#1:
00:21:36.829 – 00:21:39.849
some of this situation for a purpose
Speaker#1:
00:21:40.51 – 00:21:45.099
And we want to look at some individual lives in the Bible
Speaker#1:
00:21:45.68 – 00:21:49.77
and see how this pattern of breaking down
Speaker#1:
00:21:50.39 – 00:21:53.17
breaking through and breaking out
Speaker#1:
00:21:54.17 – 00:21:55.02
happened
Speaker#1:
00:21:57.5 – 00:21:59.709
when you
Speaker#1:
00:22:00.689 – 00:22:03.56
go through that season
Speaker#1:
00:22:04.17 – 00:22:22.02
in your life When it seems that the bottom is pulled out and you are sparrow down or something happened to you That is so painful Something happened that is so disastrous Something happened that breaks your heart
Speaker#1:
00:22:23.719 – 00:22:26.239
There is a season in your life
Speaker#1:
00:22:26.8 – 00:22:29.88
that you find yourself broken down
Speaker#1:
00:22:33.609 – 00:22:36.989
I want us to look at the life of Joseph
Speaker#1:
00:22:38.05 – 00:22:44.189
Joseph went through this three phase
Speaker#1:
00:22:45.28 – 00:22:50.29
as a child of God I wanted to pay attention to the life of Joseph
Speaker#1:
00:22:52.3 – 00:22:53.68
in the book of Psalm
Speaker#1:
00:22:54.65 – 00:23:01.599
Psalm one oh five verse 17 to 22 I’m reading from the new King James version
Speaker#1:
00:23:02.55 – 00:23:10.68
He sent a man before them Joseph who was sold as a slave
Speaker#1:
00:23:11.9 – 00:23:25.39
the horses his feet with fetus he was laid in iron until the time that his word came to pass The word of the Lord tested him
Speaker#1:
00:23:26.25 – 00:23:32.91
The king sent and released him the ruler of the people let him go free
Speaker#1:
00:23:34.349 – 00:23:41.15
He made him lord of his house and ruler of all his possession
Speaker#1:
00:23:43.55 – 00:23:45.439
to bind verse 22
Speaker#1:
00:23:47.51 – 00:23:50.66
to bind his princess at his pleasure
Speaker#1:
00:23:51.31 – 00:23:55.14
and teach his elders wisdom
Speaker#1:
00:23:56.41 – 00:23:57.839
Here is Joseph
Speaker#1:
00:23:58.5 – 00:24:04.75
we all know the story of Joseph Joseph was the 11th son of Jacob
Speaker#1:
00:24:05.65 – 00:24:08.63
a son that the father loves so much
Speaker#1:
00:24:09.589 – 00:24:31.15
He cared for him In fact the Bible said the father gave him a coat of many colors The father loved him The father goes everywhere with him He was proud of him As Joseph began to grow up The Bible said that Joseph had a dream And in that dream he saw himself being a ruler
Speaker#1:
00:24:31.53 – 00:24:51.829
and the father has bowing to him And the Bible said he told his brethren and the Bible said his brethren hated him again He had another dream the stars and the mood they bow and he tore his bread And the Bible said the bread evil hated him the more But the father ponder this in his heart
Speaker#1:
00:24:52.93 – 00:24:57.729
in the specific day the Bible said the brethren the win taking care of
Speaker#1:
00:24:58.8 – 00:25:13.959
the usual business of caring for the sheep or the father and their own They travel to a particular area and the father called Joseph Joseph come go and see the welfare of your your brethren and give them food
Speaker#1:
00:25:14.53 – 00:25:15.949
And Joseph was happy
Speaker#1:
00:25:16.699 – 00:25:17.91
to do that
Speaker#1:
00:25:18.979 – 00:25:30.93
The Bible said Joseph traveled when he got to where the brethren where they had left And Joseph was wondering and the man came and she told him that your brethren had left to
Speaker#1:
00:25:31.439 – 00:25:34.03
and Joseph went extra mile
Speaker#1:
00:25:35.4 – 00:25:42.229
to give them the food And the Bible said when the brethren saw Joseph coming from a far off
Speaker#1:
00:25:42.75 – 00:25:52.41
they conspired against him and said here comes the dreamer Joseph was hated not because he offended them Joseph was hated because of his dream
Speaker#1:
00:25:53.479 – 00:26:07.01
Some time when we go through some testing in life when we go through difficult time in life when the devil begin to pound the nose it is not because of who you are but because of what God has
Speaker#1:
00:26:07.89 – 00:26:08.79
through you
Speaker#1:
00:26:09.88 – 00:26:24.489
Because of the plan of God Sometimes you may have discovered some you may have not But there is something special about you that that tipped the devil off that make the devil to become mad
Speaker#1:
00:26:27.089 – 00:26:28.41
And so they conspire
Speaker#1:
00:26:29.069 – 00:26:30.67
When you go to Genesis
Speaker#1:
00:26:32.869 – 00:26:36.729
chapter 35 verse five
Speaker#1:
00:26:37.369 – 00:26:38.54
the Bible said
Speaker#1:
00:26:39.109 – 00:26:40.56
when Joseph came
Speaker#1:
00:26:43.8 – 00:26:45.01
his brothers
Speaker#1:
00:26:46.329 – 00:26:47.599
rejected him
Speaker#1:
00:26:48.449 – 00:26:55.439
So the first thing that Joseph went through as he breakdown was that he suffered rejection from his brothers
Speaker#1:
00:26:56.4 – 00:26:58.65
He was rejected by his own
Speaker#1:
00:27:01.329 – 00:27:06.31
Number two his own brother sold him into slavery
Speaker#1:
00:27:07.43 – 00:27:22.42
known by something He was not captured by an invading soldiers It was his own brother blood the same father the blood brothers first they rejected him Secondly they sold him
Speaker#1:
00:27:28.989 – 00:27:30.8
and when they sold him into slavery
Speaker#1:
00:27:31.56 – 00:27:32.43
in Egypt
Speaker#1:
00:27:33.02 – 00:27:33.829
But
Speaker#1:
00:27:34.339 – 00:27:35.949
by Potier
Speaker#1:
00:27:36.959 – 00:27:44.619
Poti Potier wife lost it after Joseph listening and listening carefully It was not because Joseph was the most handsome person
Speaker#1:
00:27:45.29 – 00:27:47.869
It was not because Joseph was the most you know
Speaker#1:
00:27:48.619 – 00:27:55.68
I mean what There was nothing physically about Jose that made Potier wife to lost after him
Speaker#1:
00:27:56.839 – 00:28:00.109
What was in question was about his destiny
Speaker#1:
00:28:01.15 – 00:28:07.51
He wanted to destroy the destiny Now first the brethren of Joseph stripped his beautiful coat
Speaker#1:
00:28:08.02 – 00:28:09.449
and then when it came
Speaker#1:
00:28:11.579 – 00:28:13.959
to that nation called Egypt
Speaker#1:
00:28:14.619 – 00:28:17.319
he was given a coat of slavery
Speaker#1:
00:28:18.189 – 00:28:24.989
But before I explain further I want to take your mind travel with me and let us travel together with Joseph
Speaker#1:
00:28:26.05 – 00:28:28.479
When Joseph brought the food to his brethren
Speaker#1:
00:28:29.28 – 00:28:31.06
Joseph was thrown into the pit
Speaker#1:
00:28:32.089 – 00:28:36.26
and his brethren were up there eating the food
Speaker#1:
00:28:37.4 – 00:28:39.91
he brought while he was starving in the pit
Speaker#1:
00:28:41.28 – 00:28:44.3
And then when the brother just had to be sold to the Ismael
Speaker#1:
00:28:45.06 – 00:28:46.939
and I have to paraphrase it because of time
Speaker#1:
00:28:47.709 – 00:29:06.219
they two Joseph Now this time he was not having co right Because his coat has been taken from him to to deceive his father that animal wild animal Joseph that Joseph was naked And so the Ishmael have to travel that distance to Egypt with Joseph having no coat on his body
Speaker#1:
00:29:06.77 – 00:29:19.189
I wanted a picture for a moment They were traveling to a a desert in the night The desert is very cold And so Joseph was suffering from that cold and there was no blanket
Speaker#1:
00:29:20.03 – 00:29:20.859
no clothes
Speaker#1:
00:29:21.5 – 00:29:25.3
And then in the day time There is this horrible
Speaker#1:
00:29:26.81 – 00:29:29.089
So
Speaker#1:
00:29:29.67 – 00:29:40.81
that makes the desert to become so hot Joseph traveled through that desert barefooted I guess that he go to Egypt with blisters with injuries
Speaker#1:
00:29:41.43 – 00:29:43.41
And finally if I bought him
Speaker#1:
00:29:44.27 – 00:29:50.92
when he stood on the auction box as a slave being examined by prospective buyer
Speaker#1:
00:29:51.619 – 00:30:00.0
it was slave that was being sold But God saw a prime minister
Speaker#1:
00:30:01.06 – 00:30:16.78
It doesn’t matter how low the enemy has pushed you the plan of God will come to pass The devil cannot stop the plan of God for your life The only person that can stop it is yourself by the decision you made
Speaker#1:
00:30:17.989 – 00:30:18.599
Amen
Speaker#1:
00:30:19.229 – 00:30:21.27
And my wife came along
Speaker#1:
00:30:22.43 – 00:30:27.349
and to lure Joseph to sin and Joseph would not compromise
Speaker#1:
00:30:28.54 – 00:30:49.459
and his coat was taken And Potiphar wife lied against him for his brethren rejected him Secondly they sold him and he had gone Pot Five wives have Potier wife excuse me lying against him that landed him in jail
Speaker#1:
00:30:50.91 – 00:30:53.54
We can see the life of Joseph
Speaker#1:
00:30:54.439 – 00:30:56.75
how he break down
Speaker#1:
00:30:57.839 – 00:31:02.9
When I say breakdown I’m not talking about head breakdown emotionally He was down
Speaker#1:
00:31:04.729 – 00:31:05.56
Can you
Speaker#1:
00:31:06.339 – 00:31:22.04
relate to that in your life But there are times in your life that you break down You think that God is forsaking you you think everything is working against you It happened to Joseph but that was not the end of the story Joseph break through
Speaker#1:
00:31:22.729 – 00:31:46.3
and if just a breakthrough you will also break through Just because you break down There is hope you will break through The Bible said in the book of Micah rejoice not over me my enemy When I fall I will rise again Even when I fall seven times seven times I will rise Listen to me God is not mad at you when you fall
Speaker#1:
00:31:48.42 – 00:31:56.4
God makes provision for your rising The problem here is not your falling The problem is your refusal to rise
Speaker#1:
00:31:57.329 – 00:32:13.03
When you refuse to rise you are telling God you are not able to save me God said when you fall you will rise again David said though I walk through the valley of the shadow of
Speaker#1:
00:32:14.17 – 00:32:14.839
that
Speaker#1:
00:32:15.41 – 00:32:31.069
I do what I fear no evil for the and the staff they comfort me There is a season in our life that we have to go through that valley my friend lion please The valley is not a place for you to come
Speaker#1:
00:32:32.209 – 00:32:49.989
It’s not a place for you to sit down The valley is just a thoroughfare You are just going through it It is a season Some said don’t whip in me A geo for night Joy comes in the morning Am I talking to somebody here this morning
Speaker#1:
00:32:51.739 – 00:32:56.369
May I say this to you whipping me And for the night the night is not PM
Speaker#1:
00:32:57.17 – 00:32:58.63
The night is season
Speaker#1:
00:32:59.3 – 00:33:05.099
There is a season in your life that you may have where because you are done But joy is coming
Speaker#1:
00:33:05.68 – 00:33:12.239
Joy is coming God has not forsaken You God has not abandoned you Come on Somebody say amen
Speaker#1:
00:33:13.339 – 00:33:26.65
How did Joseph break through The Bible said why Joseph was in the prison He was minister and the minister to two of the prisoner that pharaoh brought in one was killed as he interpreted his dream and the other
Speaker#1:
00:33:27.339 – 00:33:33.81
And the Bible said a time came that God began to steer the water He gave dream to pharaoh
Speaker#1:
00:33:34.41 – 00:33:37.9
and there was nobody to interpret that dream
Speaker#1:
00:33:38.43 – 00:33:39.81
But the man
Speaker#1:
00:33:40.369 – 00:33:41.079
that
Speaker#1:
00:33:41.949 – 00:33:47.43
Joseph interpreted his dream remember please
Speaker#1:
00:33:48.26 – 00:34:00.14
I want to say something here And it’s very very important See even though that Joseph was going through what he was going through he was never bitter
Speaker#1:
00:34:01.979 – 00:34:03.369
He never
Speaker#1:
00:34:04.31 – 00:34:05.06
kept
Speaker#1:
00:34:06.8 – 00:34:30.83
bitterness in his heart Even though that Joseph was thrown in the prison for standing for righteousness Joseph will have been bitter Joseph will have asked God where are you Why have you abandoned me Why did you allow this to happen By the way I was standing for righteousness
Speaker#1:
00:34:31.178 – 00:34:40.32
and your word said the rushes will never be forsaken Why did you forsake me My friend God is walking behind the scene
Speaker#1:
00:34:41.699 – 00:34:45.87
and in your case God is also walking behind the scene
Speaker#1:
00:34:47.388 – 00:34:56.729
and Joseph did something that we need to learn from in spite of all the odds and everything that went against him
Speaker#1:
00:34:57.29 – 00:35:01.469
Joseph never stopped serving the Lord
Speaker#1:
00:35:02.25 – 00:35:07.879
Joseph never stopped doing what he’s called to do
Speaker#1:
00:35:08.409 – 00:35:16.699
If Joseph has stopped to interpret dream and to serve the people in the prison there will have been no voice to speak for him
Speaker#1:
00:35:17.31 – 00:35:27.409
Are you with me Because Joseph he was able to influence somebody and God has to use that person to speak on behalf of Joseph
Speaker#1:
00:35:27.949 – 00:35:46.02
Are you with me So don’t give up the things that you are doing for the kingdom because of the bad situation you are going through God should not be pushed aside It’s either God is number one or he is not He will never be number two
Speaker#1:
00:35:46.949 – 00:35:56.59
He said my glory I will share with no man Am I communicating here come this African guy telling us all this my friend I’m just a voice
Speaker#1:
00:35:57.3 – 00:36:03.82
speaking on behalf of the Lord And the Bible said now listen to this I’m going to I’m about to run up The Bible said
Speaker#1:
00:36:04.54 – 00:36:06.6
the king Pharaoh
Speaker#1:
00:36:11.86 – 00:36:14.5
let’s read verse 21
Speaker#1:
00:36:16.729 – 00:36:31.629
of Genesis 39 He said but the Lord was with Joseph and showed him mercy and he gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison In chapter 41
Speaker#1:
00:36:32.76 – 00:36:33.79
verse 14
Speaker#1:
00:36:34.79 – 00:36:38.08
Then Pharaoh sat and called Joseph
Speaker#1:
00:36:38.939 – 00:36:45.909
and they brought him quickly out of the dungeon
Speaker#1:
00:36:47.06 – 00:36:47.469
Mm
Speaker#1:
00:36:48.83 – 00:36:52.219
He was brought out of the dungeon
Speaker#1:
00:36:53.389 – 00:36:57.61
and he shaved changed his clothing
Speaker#1:
00:36:58.229 – 00:37:19.189
and came to Pharaoh He was circumstances pushed him to the dungeon way down but he was brought out my friend I speak as a prophet of the living God No matter what situation that has pushed you down I speak that you are coming out
Speaker#1:
00:37:20.479 – 00:37:22.76
whether it is financial situation
Speaker#1:
00:37:23.399 – 00:37:27.649
Marita situation health wise relationship
Speaker#1:
00:37:28.639 – 00:37:38.169
God is speaking this morning If God could bring Joseph from the dungeon you know what dungeon mean Doon is a prison or the prison
Speaker#1:
00:37:38.689 – 00:37:43.06
He was not even in prison in the uh up there right there
Speaker#1:
00:37:43.729 – 00:37:54.909
And I see spring just a springing out and we end the season of spring you will spring out Also come on Somebody say man he was brought out
Speaker#1:
00:37:56.439 – 00:37:59.08
That was Joseph breaking true
Speaker#1:
00:38:00.0 – 00:38:05.85
Joseph was done but he break through But that is not all There is a breakout
Speaker#1:
00:38:06.949 – 00:38:08.209
The recip art
Speaker#1:
00:38:08.79 – 00:38:13.53
Pharo promoted him in an instant
Speaker#1:
00:38:14.07 – 00:38:15.679
Look at verse 41
Speaker#1:
00:38:18.1 – 00:38:21.53
chapter 41 verse one And Pharaoh said to Joseph C
Speaker#1:
00:38:22.169 – 00:38:34.52
I have set you over all the land of Egypt I have set you over all the land of Egypt
Speaker#1:
00:38:35.07 – 00:38:37.09
Come on I wish somebody would say amen
Speaker#1:
00:38:38.379 – 00:38:46.59
nothing in the natural that ever will suggest that Joseph will ever come out of his situation
Speaker#1:
00:38:47.439 – 00:38:58.879
But because God is involved behind the scene walking out the deity Joseph did not only experience breakthrough but Joseph had a breakout
Speaker#1:
00:38:59.679 – 00:39:04.8
There was no father no lawyer no Anton to plead this cause
Speaker#1:
00:39:05.459 – 00:39:07.969
But heaven pleaded his cause
Speaker#1:
00:39:08.83 – 00:39:31.139
God spoke on his behalf God gave Pharaoh a dream that no sorcerer no magician could interpret And then the on came to his mind said oh there is a young man that interpreted my dream He can and Joseph was sent for Joseph was brought out at that particular time There was no need
Speaker#1:
00:39:31.389 – 00:39:39.939
for Joseph to be tried because God is involved And here Joseph came out and he was promoted
Speaker#1:
00:39:40.54 – 00:39:49.28
He became Lord over all in Egypt I don’t want to share something just I want you to think about it I don’t know if you are saying what I’m saying
Speaker#1:
00:39:49.929 – 00:39:51.3
Few days ago
Speaker#1:
00:39:51.82 – 00:39:56.409
Potiphar wife lied against him a few days ago Potiphar
Speaker#1:
00:39:57.5 – 00:39:58.37
jailed him
Speaker#1:
00:39:58.929 – 00:40:01.939
But here comes today Joseph is now lord
Speaker#1:
00:40:03.05 – 00:40:06.879
over all Egypt including Poti and his wife
Speaker#1:
00:40:12.82 – 00:40:16.77
I want to ask you a question Is there anything too hard for God to do
Speaker#1:
00:40:19.07 – 00:40:34.439
Was there any hope for Joseph when he was a slave No hope when he was a prisoner Was there any hope No but God came through whatever hopeless situation you are going through You may have broken down
Speaker#1:
00:40:35.219 – 00:40:36.689
because there is a breakthrough
Speaker#1:
00:40:37.35 – 00:40:42.379
and my friend experiencing breakthrough is not the end There is a breakout
Speaker#1:
00:40:44.969 – 00:40:53.59
when Joseph came out of the dungeon That was a breakthrough But when he became Lord over the entire Egypt that is a breakout
Speaker#1:
00:40:55.61 – 00:41:03.739
There is a breakout Joseph is now lord he is no longer being stigmatized as a prisoner
Speaker#1:
00:41:04.25 – 00:41:07.979
There is no longer as convict labored against him
Speaker#1:
00:41:08.679 – 00:41:14.28
His coat of beautiful color was taken The coat of slavery was taken but he was given a roa
Speaker#1:
00:41:15.34 – 00:41:16.189
a
Speaker#1:
00:41:17.949 – 00:41:21.35
from prison to prominence
Speaker#1:
00:41:22.3 – 00:41:23.659
It can only be good
Speaker#1:
00:41:24.33 – 00:41:28.26
It can only be God and that God can do it for you
Speaker#1:
00:41:28.939 – 00:41:39.03
before I round up Let me give you some another story from the scripture from the New Testament So you will say pastor that’s Old Testament in the New Testament In Luke chapter five
Speaker#1:
00:41:40.0 – 00:41:46.219
Luke chapter five the Bible told us of a story of a man called Peter that went
Speaker#1:
00:41:47.159 – 00:41:50.489
to fish He’s a good fisherman and expert
Speaker#1:
00:41:51.449 – 00:41:56.75
and a fish all night came in the morning as a failure
Speaker#1:
00:41:57.709 – 00:42:06.419
break down Nothing to show for his labor break down Nothing to show for all his investment Had nothing to show
Speaker#1:
00:42:08.989 – 00:42:33.629
He was there washing his net as a failed businessman as a failed husband because nothing to give to the wife as a failed provider nothing to provide for his Children And here comes Jesus with a crowd and went straight to the boot of Peter and said Peter can I borrow your boat Jesus Peter said of course
Speaker#1:
00:42:33.87 – 00:42:45.33
And now it is easier for Jesus to use the boat with Peter will become a little bit more difficult for Jesus to call a man who has failed in his failure to come and sit in the boat
Speaker#1:
00:42:46.459 – 00:42:47.78
to work for him
Speaker#1:
00:42:48.32 – 00:42:51.899
My friend please listen to me It pays to serve the Lord
Speaker#1:
00:42:52.469 – 00:42:54.239
it pays to work for the Lord
Speaker#1:
00:42:54.919 – 00:43:15.159
And so Peter has to man the boat where Jesus was preaching a failed man a fair businessman Nothing to show for After Jesus finished what does he have to show his wife What does he have to show for the labor of the day He break down But Jesus showed up and after the preaching Jesus said take
Speaker#1:
00:43:15.83 – 00:43:17.909
the but to the deep
Speaker#1:
00:43:19.209 – 00:43:47.0
God is calling us when you want to do things in your life he calls us to the deep places Come into a deep relationship come into deep prayer into deep reading or devotion of the word of God took Peter to the deep and said let down your net Peter Look at Jesus Jesus Do you understand that All we have to all night and we got nothing
Speaker#1:
00:43:48.87 – 00:44:02.76
Never the less your word Never the less Josh May I say this to you May the word of the Lord never be the less in your life
Speaker#1:
00:44:06.09 – 00:44:24.33
I want to repeat let it sing down Peter said at your word at your word Your word is nevertheless may the word of the Lord never be the less So Peter responded in obedient to the word of the Lord Took the net threw it out he did dead die
Speaker#1:
00:44:24.989 – 00:44:30.85
and Peter casually drew the net but the net was filled
Speaker#1:
00:44:31.649 – 00:44:58.87
He could not drag a net into the boot He has to pick and he filled his boot and back on on all the boats that are filled come over and the Bible say boots with fear That was a breakthrough He break down by having nothing break through Have a big when you reach verse 11 the Bible says He for God to follow Jesus break out
Speaker#1:
00:45:00.78 – 00:45:01.719
you break out
Speaker#1:
00:45:03.55 – 00:45:04.439
he break out
Speaker#1:
00:45:04.959 – 00:45:07.55
Now what is the mystery dear
Speaker#1:
00:45:08.879 – 00:45:15.8
Peter never allowed a miracle to season He followed he break up with the miracle worker
Speaker#1:
00:45:16.439 – 00:45:25.669
