TOPIC: GREAT FAVOR FOR THE YEAR 2013

Memory verse:-"When the news reached Pharaoh’s palace that Joseph’s brothers had come, Pharaoh

and all his officials were pleased. Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Tell your brothers, ‘Do

this: Load your animals and return to the land of Canaan, and bring your father and

your families back to me. I will give you the best of the land of Egypt and you can

enjoy the fat of the land.’ "You are also directed to tell them, ‘Do this: Take some

carts from

Egypt

for your children and your wives, and get your father and come.

Never mind about your belongings, because the best of all

Egypt

will be yours.’”

So the sons of

Israel

did this. Joseph gave them carts, as Pharaoh had commanded,

and he also gave them provisions for their journey. To each of them he gave new

clothing, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred shekels of silver and five sets of

clothes. And this is what he sent to his father: ten donkeys loaded with the best

things of

Egypt

, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and other

provisions for his journey. Then he sent his brothers away, and as they were

leaving he said to them, "Don’t quarrel on the way!” So they went up out of Egypt

and came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan. They told him, "Joseph is still

alive! In fact, he is ruler of all

Egypt

.” Jacob was stunned; he did not believe them.

But when they told him everything Joseph had said to them, and when he saw the

carts Joseph had sent to carry him back, the spirit of their father Jacob revived.

And

Israel

said, "I’m convinced! My son Joseph is still alive. I will go and see him

before I die.”

-Gen. 45:16-28

Though Joseph was a stranger but he had great favor in the sight of the king Pharaoh that everything he wanted to do was permissible. Pharaoh never thought of Joseph’s family being strangers and so treating them badly, he held them in respect and provided for them because of Joseph. It is my prayer that in this year 2013 you have such favor in the sight of God and man.

Again, remember that Joseph’s brothers came to

Egypt

as buyers without any royal endorsement but when they were leaving they were changed people. Your life can change at any time, it is God who uses men to bring change and your change is closer than you think.

Prayer:-pray for great favor in the year 2013

Thank God for the great change coming your way in faith

What to meditate on:

What does "the best of the land” means and how can you get yours in your land?
