YOU NEED THE WISDOM TO FULFILL YOUR DREAMS

FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD REMAIN BLESSED.

YOU NEED THE WISDOM TO FULFILL YOUR DREAMS 
MAY Sunday 16th
TEXT: Genesis 37: 5-11
Key verse: Luke 22: 31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
God gave Joseph a dream that he will be great in the future, that he will be greater than his brethren and that his parents and siblings will all depend on him in future. He told his brethren but Satan was there hearing him and Satan meant to frustrate that vision of God.  At first, he wanted to kill Joseph through his brothers when his father sent him to enquire of their welfare, but later they threw him into a pit before finally selling him off as a slave to Egypt. 
Satan wanted to destroy Joseph’s dream, so he stirred up his brothers against him. However, when they grabbed Joseph, he manifested wisdom by not resisting or fighting back with his youthful strength. Eventually, they sold him to Egypt. He did not run away from his masters. That would have been evil because he was already bought with money. He was ready for slavery. 
They sold Joseph to Potiphar and he was faithful. Satan came through Potiphar's wife, one of the most beautiful women in Egypt at that time as history says. Joseph too was a handsome young man. Satan used her against Joseph to tempt him and remove righteousness from him and destroy his dreams, but he manifested great wisdom in rejecting sinful pleasures. The most beautiful woman offered her body freely to him but Joseph said he would not do wickedness and sin against God. She grabbed him for immorality, but he left his cloth with her and ran away. Wisdom! That was his wisdom to reach the throne and wear the crown. They threw him into prison still he remained faithful. 
Ask for wisdom for your children. David had told Solomon about wisdom even before Solomon asked God for wisdom. David charged him to handle certain matters with wisdom because knowledge is sweet to him that has understanding. Solomon was instructed in wisdom and needed more, so lead your children in the way of wisdom. Plead with your family to follow the path of wisdom. 

Thought for the day: Wisdom makes a leader know how to control, inspire or direct human behaviours appropriately. 
Song for the day: Unto Thee O Lord, do I lift my soul...
Bible reading for the day:
2 Kings 15-17; John 6:1-21

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
