TOPIC: But He Refused (I) (Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries Wednesday, 25 July 2018)
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Genesis 39: 4-9
MEMORY VERSE: “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.” – Psalms 1:1
The MESSAGE:
There are many offers that come to children of God to ensnare them and put them in bondage. Such offers are meant to be rejected though they may appear juicy. Some of those offers may be presented where you work or live as a free gift and a lifetime opportunity. My friend, you are expected to reject them because they are scotched egg with life scorpion in it. Once you gullibly accept it and bite it, the scorpion will sting your mouth and inject its deadly venom. I believe you know what will be the result.
Joseph, as a house help to Portiphar’s house, was given deadly offer that could destroy the plan of God for his life by his master’s wife. Mrs. Portiphar wanted Joseph to lie with her; that is, to commit sexual immorality with her. Joseph refused the offer. Do you think it was easy for Joseph to say ‘No’ to his master’s most beautiful wife’s offer? Child of God, in sincerity, it was not easy. It took the grace of God and a lot of self-discipline on the part of Joseph, the young house help. The Bible talks about Daniel who purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself. It was because he understood the trick of the devil and the principle of God. Many people like Gehazi, Elisha’s servant, will never miss such opportunity of free gift without realizing the danger attached to it.
In the world today, there are different attractive offers, proposals, advances and invitations from unbelievers, old and young alike into drug pushing, vandalism, initiation to secret societies, sexual perversions, drinking of alcohol, hooliganism, body tattoo, internet fraud etc. A large number of our young and adult members of the society engage in some, if not in all of these because they do not know how to refuse or reject the offers the way young Joseph did. Why? They lack what would make them say No: The fear of God and self-control. The Bible says in 1 Thessalonians 5:22, “Flee from all appearances of evil” and in James 4:7 “…resist the devil and he will flee from you.” You need the Holy Spirit in your life to teach and remind you all things (John 14:26). For you not to fall into the error of eternal damnation, you need the presence of the Holy Spirit in your life (Galatians 5:16). You also need to abide in Christ and let Christ abide in you so as to live a victorious Christian life (John 15:4-5)
