TOPIC: From Problem To Promotion (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 24 March 2022)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Numbers 16:36-50, Numbers 17, Numbers 17, Luke 5:17-32, Psalm 37:10-20
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Genesis 41:9-46 (KJV)
9 Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:
10 Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the captain of the guard’s house, both me and the chief baker:
11 And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
12 And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret.
13 And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.
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.
45 And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphnathpaaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.
46 And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
You shall rise above your problems and be catapulted to your place of promotion, in the Name of Jesus.
MFM Devotional 24 March 2022 MESSAGE:
Our Fire Scripture today gives an account of the life of Joseph and how God promoted him. If you take time to read through Joseph’s story, you would know how numerous problems he encountered before God intervened and helped him. Potiphar’s wife accused him of rape and he was cast in to prison for the crime he didn’t commit. Here was a man who had dreamt of greatness when he was a young boy. Yet, he ended up in a strange land. He was imprisoned and suffered greatly for many years. But because he never gave up on God, God was with him at all times, even in the prison. God gave him favour in the sight of everyone in the prison such that the keeper of the prison committed to his hand all the prisoners in the prison. That was the beginning of the journey to his promotion. Unknown to him, God was preparing for him a position in the high places among the nobles of the land. Joseph eventually became Prime Minister in Egypt; he was next to the king in rank.
This is a lesson for you and me. When you are going through problems in life, do not be discouraged nor dismayed. Remember, as long as you remain in the path of righteousness, God shall be with you!
Do you covet God’s abiding presence and power at all times and in all situations? Then put your trust in Him and remain steadfastly in faith. That is why reading and meditating on the Bible day and night is so important, because the Word of God is power. When you do this, God will definitely appear in your situation and your promotions will locate you. Unburden your worries and anxieties before God in prayer; He will answer by fire. God will move in your case and open for you great doors in places you least expect.
God did it in the life of Daniel and his three Hebrew friends. Esther and the Jews saw the awesome power of God at work in the land of captivity. They were not only delivered from death; they ruled over their enemies. This shall be your portion when you look up unto God, who lifts His beloved from problems to promotion, in the Name of Jesus.
