TOPIC: But He Refused (II) (Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries Thursday, 26 July 2018)

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Genesis 39:10-12

MEMORY VERSE: “Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.” – 2 Timothy 2:22

The MESSAGE:

Many believers are divinely positioned to certain posts to do the biding of heaven and make life easy for people so that they can glorify God who positioned them there. It is painful that such Christians see it as opportunity to exploit the people they are supposed to help. Immediately they assume the position, those who have been there before initiate them into various ungodly activities with ease. It is just because they cannot refuse the apple that satan dangles before them. They are just like a young man that lacked understanding in Proverbs 7:6-27, who was enticed by a crafty harlot who was looking for a soul to prey on and destroy. The harlot succeeded because he could neither resist her sweet talk nor the fragrance of the strong perfume she wore on her laid bed.

Despite all his credentials, Joseph, an overseer of his master’s house, a channel of blessings to his master’s household and a handsome young man, refused his master’s wife’s offer to commit fornication with her. But why? To Joseph, it was ungodly. ‘How would I do this great wickedness and sin against God?’ Joseph exclaimed. Are you guided by the fear of God in your heart and in everything that you do? Do you consider eternal consequences of your act, behaviour and attitude, in this present world? Though Joseph was persecuted, hated, lied against and finally thrown into prison (Genesis 39:10-20), at the end, he wore a glorious crown. Matthew 5:10 and 12 states: “Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven…12) Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.”

Why did Joseph refuse? He refused because he feared (reverenced) the Lord. He carried the presence of God everywhere he went. He had the spirit of the fear of God. He saw the offer as a sin against God and a great wickedness against his master. Joseph had seen his future and what was ahead of him (Genesis 39:2,9b). Do not allow five minutes of pleasure to send you to eternal damnation (hell). You cannot eat your cake and still want to have it. Daniel for example, purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself (Daniel 1:8). Spiritual defilement is a terrible thing. Run for your dear life! Jesus is knocking at the door of your heart, open it and let Him in. Samson did not discipline himself; he ended up his glorious destiny grinding pepper in the camp of his enemies. That will not be your portion, in Jesus’ name. All that glitters is not gold. You can be like Joseph who said No to the devil.
