DON'T DOUBT YOURSELF, YOU ARE BLESSED BY GOD

 "His master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD made all he did to prosper in his hand." Genesis 39:3 (NIV)


The first thing I want you to notice in this verse is that "There is a special grace and ability God has placed in you." This understanding will help you overcome self-doubt, lack of confidence, and uncertainty about your potential. Here, we see Potiphar recognizing the power and blessing of God upon Joseph. So, even if you don’t see the ability in yourself, others have already noticed it.

Failing or encountering setbacks doesn’t mean you lack ability. Not at all. Joseph’s life was full of challenges and rejection. His brothers rejected him, plotted to kill him, and eventually sold him into slavery. Despite all this, when he arrived in Egypt as a slave, his employer recognized that everything Joseph did was blessed.

Joseph was a person who made others’ ventures successful, while his own life remained stagnant. Even in prison, he interpreted dreams for others, which led to their success, but he remained behind bars. Was it because he lacked ability or wasn’t blessed by God? Absolutely not!

Today, I remind you that God has a purpose for your life, and in His timing, you will prosper. Believe in yourself and the abilities within you, even if your current circumstances are not ideal. What is required of you is diligence and patience—never give up on yourself.

Joseph never gave up. Even when tempted by Potiphar’s wife, he refused to sin. He could have established a relationship with her to gain wealth and material benefits, but he chose not to. Sadly, some people, discouraged by delayed success, turn to destructive habits such as drinking, immorality, or theft.

Today, believe that there is power within you, and trust that God will bring success in His time. Don’t be afraid to start something new out of fear of failure. God is with you and will make you prosper.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, I thank you for the blessings and ability you have placed in me. Help me to have confidence in myself and never to give up. Amen

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

MISPLACED FEAR

Matthew 10:28  (NKJV) says: “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”   This is a direct call from Jesus to correct our fears. Many people fear human threats, sickness, poverty, storms, or death. Yet Jesus reminds us that these things can only touch the body. The true danger is sin, because it separates us from God and leads to eternal destruction. The only fear that matters is the fear of God, for He alone holds the destiny of both the body and soul. One day I was in a garage fixing my car. It was an open space and suddenly it began raining heavily. All the mechanics rushed to take shelter inside. As we stood, they began sharing jokes, laughing about drinking and the women they slept with. I always preach to them, telling them to repent and receive Jesus. But they laughed it off. As we were standing there inside, suddenly the storm grew stronger, with thunder and lightning flashin...
