TOPIC: Be Conscious Of God’s Presence (TREM Devotional 2 June 2025)
“But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.” (Genesis 39:21 KJV)
MESSAGE:
If you check through the bible, you will discover that the key to Joseph’s success is that God was with him. He ended up in prison, but God showed him mercy and favour before the officials. The keeper of the prison committed to him all the prisoners that were in the prison, and he began to lead them because God was with him. The keeper of the prison did not need to bother about anything that was under Joseph’s supervision.
Joseph prospered and succeeded because God was with him. God gave him wisdom above others. No one was able to interpret the dream of Pharaoh. But because God was with him, he received the interpretation. However, not only did he receive the interpretation of the dream, he also proffered the right solution, which ultimately led to his promotion as the Prime Minister of Egypt.
Do you really know that God is with you? Beloved, it is high time that you are conscious of God’s presence with and in you. This will affect every aspect of your life. It is a knowing beyond anything else, regardless of what comes up against you. It is a knowing that gives you boldness in the face of evil, that God is with you. Romans 8:31 (NKJV) says, “…If God is for us, who can be against us?”
The believer’s edge is the presence of God. It grieves my heart that many of God’s children trust in fellow humans more than in God. Unfortunately, humans have a margin for failure, and the best of man is still man. Conversely, God has not, will not, and can never fail. You can depend on Him. In Genesis 28:15, God said to Jacob: “Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you.” (NKJV)
Beloved, Jacob succeeded because God was with him and he was conscious of it. There was no way he would fail. Despite Laban’s best tricks and schemes, he could not be stranded.
