Revelation of the Word:

THEME: LEADERSHIP

Genesis 41:38-42 NKJV

“And Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God? Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Inasmuch as God has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you. You shall be over my house, and all my people shall be ruled according to your word; only in regard to the throne will I be greater than you.” And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.” Then Pharaoh took his signet ring off his hand and put it on Joseph’s hand; and he clothed him in garments of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck.”

INSIGHT

-Leader in Hebrew is written as Nagiyd and Archégos in Greek, which means a ruler, official or a person of influence. A leader provides guidance and vision, while leadership involves influencing a group to reach its goals. Leadership is a blessing that the Lord gives to people according to His great purposes. Joseph the son of Judah had the ability of interpreting dreams. He spoke by the indwelling and guidance of the Holy Spirit, as referred here as the Spirit of God. Through his leadership, Joseph was able to preserve grain in Egypt and offer providence to his brothers, the nation of Egypt and other regions. Joseph was the governor of Egypt and received the signet ring as the seal bearer of the king who executed all financial matters in the nation. God gives responsibility to leaders of His choice and it vital that we are sensitive to His voice so as to be properly guided for the glory and honor of His name.

PRAYER

Almighty and Everlasting Father how great are You in all the heavens and the earth. You are the One who changes times and seasons. You are the One who deposes kings and raises up others. You are the One who gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. May You sharpen all current and upcoming leaders in Your wisdom so that only Your name will be glorified through them. May You make a way for each one of us to succeed in the purposes that You have designed for us since You established the foundations of this world, and opportunities for Your children in leadership roles. May You cleanse us from all unrighteousness and wash us with Your precious blood. May You provide for all our needs and open double doors for us to prosper in all things. May You guide us through out this week and grant us success in every sphere of our lives. We honor You Lord and give You praise, and it is in Jesus mighty name we pray. Amen

Blessed Week
