TOPIC: Anointing For More (II) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 17 July 2022)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Amos 5, Romans 4:1-15, Psalm 86:1-10
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Genesis 41:14-44 (KJV)
14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.
15 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it.
16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river:
18 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:
19 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:
20 And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:
21 And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
22 And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good:
23 And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:
24 And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told this unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.
25 And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.
26 The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
27 And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.
28 This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.
29 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:
30 And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;
31 And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.
32 And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
33 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.
35 And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
36 And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.
37 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
38 And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
39 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:
40 Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.
41 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
42 And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;
43 And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.
44 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.

Joseph, after several years of suffering persecution and pain unjustly, was invited by Pharaoh to interpret the dream he had. The dream troubled the king so much that when he heard about a man who had the gift of dream interpretation and the testimony of the butler, he sent for Joseph. In the presence of the king, Joseph first gave glory to God, the Owner of the gift at work in his life. He said, “God will give an interpretation to the king’s dream”. That was the beginning of Joseph’s success and destiny transformation. So when the king narrated his dreams, the Spirit of God spoke through Joseph and interpreted them. The same Spirit of God enabled Joseph to give more than just interpreting the dreams. He proffered solution to the imminent national problem. That was the anointing of more!
Though the king did not ask Joseph for solution, when he offered it, he was pleased with it and was also amazed at Joseph’s wisdom. Pharaoh then pronounced, “. . . Forasmuch as God hath shown thee all this, there is none as discreet and wise as thou art. Thou shalt be over my house, according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.”
The lesson to learn here is that the gifts and talents that God has given you are meant for His service. Besides, you should use the gifts maximally to give the Owner the greatest benefits for His investments in your life. Only the best is good enough for God. When you give your best to God, He will always be with you.
Dear reader, can you honestly say that you are giving God your best with the talent in your life? Do you agree with me that you can do a lot more? Heaven will bless you as you resolve to give the best to God henceforth.
