SPECIAL EDITION
TOPIC : THE POWER OF PURITY
TEXT. GENESIS 39:7-9
[7]And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
[8]But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;
[9]There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
What many today would have seen as an opportunity and a ladder for rising is what Joseph saw as an insult and an arrow shot at his purity.
He saw it as an attempt to destroy his affinity with divinity.
He said, how can I do this great wickedness and sin against my God.
He was referring to a God that he knows very well.
Remember that Joseph was both a slave and a captive in Egypt but he refused to choose the easier wrong but chose the harder wrong.
He was in the prison for fourteen years, the power of purity released him as a prime minister and controller of the staff of bread in Egypt.
If Joseph had accepted the offer of portipher's wive to sleep with her, he would have been elevated to the level of chief servant in portipher's house.
Sin truly is a sinker of destinies.
I pray that the power of the Lord almighty will empower you to be able to live above sins in Jesus mighty name.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ,
Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
