Speaker 1: Let's appreciate the worship team.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 1: And you're looking good, better than yesterday and tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you shine.
Speaker 1: Let's appreciate them once again for leading us so so well.
Speaker 1: May the Lord bless you and for those watching us online, karibu Sanna.
Speaker 1: We thank God that you could join us this evening.
Speaker 1: Uh, thank you for the blessing of the Lord, that a thousand elsewhere.
Speaker 1: So you are in the right place at the right time and God will minister to you in such a mighty and great way.
Speaker 1: I bring us a message today.
Speaker 1: As we focus on thanksgiving and just thanking God for keeping us and watching over us since the beginning of the year up to now, we have a reason to rejoice and we are set up for breakthrough.
Speaker 1: You are set up for breakthrough.
Speaker 1: That's where you say amen.
Speaker 1: Yes, you are set up for breakthrough because, as I read my Bible every day, I have never read any scripture that says and the Lord was defeated or the Lord could do exceedingly, abundantly, above all you can ask or think.
Speaker 1: So you know it's good for us to understand that that is the God we serve that is able to do exceedingly.
Speaker 1: He will exceed you in his goodness.
Speaker 1: Therefore, as we enter into this time of just the delivery of God's word.
Speaker 1: I want to say that God is your breakthrough, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter the situation you face.
Speaker 1: Breaking through means God coming through for you in that situation.
Speaker 1: You are set up for breakthrough.
Speaker 1: Genesis 37 from verse 12 to 19 Genesis 37.
Speaker 1: Now his brothers have gone to grace their father's flocks near, near Shechem.
Speaker 1: And Israel say to Joseph as you know, your brothers are grazing the flocks near Shechem.
Speaker 1: Come, I'm going to send you to them.
Speaker 1: Very well, he replied.
Speaker 1: He also said to him go and see if all is right and bring a word back to me.
Speaker 1: Then he said, sent him off from the valley of Hebron.
Speaker 1: When Joseph arrived at Shechem, a man found him wandering around the fields and asked him what are you looking for?
Speaker 1: Are you wondering and and and asking yourself when will my breakthrough come?
Speaker 1: I'm telling you.
Speaker 1: He replied I'm looking for my brothers.
Speaker 1: Can you tell me where they are grazing their flocks?
Speaker 1: They have moved on from here.
Speaker 1: The man answered I had them say let's go to Dothan.
Speaker 1: So Joseph went after his brothers and found them near Dothan.
Speaker 1: But they saw him in the distance and before he reached Dothan he came to the house.
Speaker 1: Here comes that dream and they say to each other, continue to verse twenty.
Speaker 1: Come now, let's kill him and throw him into one of these systems and say that a ferocious animal devoured him.
Speaker 1: Then we'll see what becomes of his dreams.
Speaker 1: I think Joseph was being sent by his father.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to imagine, you know when, when you read the story of Joseph I don't want you to imagine what you will imagine that, after all, at the two prince of Egypt, you know, you, you already know I want you to work with me like you didn't know or like you are with Joseph at that particular moment.
Speaker 1: It will make a lot of people think that he was the sons of Jacob.
Speaker 1: He was the most loved, the most preferred of all the others.
Speaker 1: His father prepared for him a special quote which meant for him he was not going to be a shepherd, he was supposed to be the one who just asked about things how are things, how is everything happening?
Speaker 1: He was like a supervisor of the rest.
Speaker 1: So you will not go and take care of his father's ship because he had nothing to do.
Speaker 1: There is only.
Speaker 1: He had a court, he had authority at the authority of the father and therefore going to take care of his father's ship was beyond him.
Speaker 1: Therefore, the father sent him so that he can be able to, to bring feedback to the father about how his brothers are doing.
Speaker 1: I say again you are set up for a breakthrough.
Speaker 1: You are set up for a breakthrough.
Speaker 1: The story of Joseph Carver, statham, when Jesse sent David to go and take bread to his brothers at the battle front and when he was sent to take bread to his brothers at the battle front, that was a set up for his breakthrough.
Speaker 1: I say again, the story of Joseph Carver's 13 chapters of the book of Genesis.
Speaker 1: If you didn't know, 13 chapters.
Speaker 1: It is like the book of Second Corinthians, you know, and a whole book written because of one man.
Speaker 1: It is even has more chapters than the book of Galatians, philippians and other New Testament books.
Speaker 1: This is the story of a breakthrough, a person set up for breakthrough.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about his brothers.
Speaker 1: That was the set up for his breakthrough.
Speaker 1: Suppose that day you would have been told.
Speaker 1: You know, stay in the house.
Speaker 1: You know just.
Speaker 1: You know, lounge around.
Speaker 1: You know, feel good, because you're my favorite son, stay around here, let's have a good time.
Speaker 1: Nothing will have probably happened, but it was like we were doing.
Speaker 1: And remember, these eleven brothers didn't like him.
Speaker 1: It's like he was being set up to go among those who didn't like him.
Speaker 1: They were full of envy, they were jealous, and remember what we just read.
Speaker 1: They said here comes the dreamer.
Speaker 1: Let us kill him and let's see what will become of his dreams.
Speaker 1: You are going to be set in the pit, joseph in the pit and media.
Speaker 1: Give us Genesis thirty-seven from verse twenty-three to twenty-five, genesis thirty-seven from verse twenty-three to twenty-five.
Speaker 1: The Bible says when Joseph came to his the onythrope he was wearing and they took him and threw him in the cistern.
Speaker 1: The cistern was empty.
Speaker 1: There was no water in it.
Speaker 1: They sat down to eat their meal.
Speaker 1: They looked up and saw a caravan of fish in my lights, coming from Gilead.
Speaker 1: Their camels were loaded with spices, bam mir, and they were on their way to take them down to Egypt.
Speaker 1: You just say to his brothers what will we gain if we give our brothers, if we kill our brother and cover up his blood?
Speaker 1: Come, let's sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay our hands on him.
Speaker 1: After all, he's our brother, our own flesh and blood.
Speaker 1: His brothers agreed.
Speaker 1: When the media nights Marchant came by, his brothers, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for 20 shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites who took him to Egypt.
Speaker 1: I can imagine Joseph coming and all of a sudden, there is hostility around him.
Speaker 1: The first thing they say is that they are going to kill him, they are going to destroy him, humiliated him, took his coat and took it apart.
Speaker 1: That was part of the breakthrough Humiliation at the place of your breakthrough.
Speaker 1: His brothers felt nothing.
Speaker 1: They had no emotions for him.
Speaker 1: They were numb.
Speaker 1: They were full of jealous, bitterness, anger.
Speaker 1: All this was vented on Joseph.
Speaker 1: For them, it was a moment to just vent their anger.
Speaker 1: It was a moment for them to show resentment.
Speaker 1: It was at a moment for them to just say who is this Joseph?
Speaker 1: What does he think he is?
Speaker 1: They humiliated him, they tore his coat, they disgraced him and threw him in the pit.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, even when you are disgraced, even when you are humiliated, when God is with you, you are set up for breakthrough.
Speaker 1: Even when you are humiliated, even when they despise you, even when they say things about you, like they did with Joseph, it is set up for your breakthrough.
Speaker 1: For Joseph, at that particular moment, you can imagine how he felt.
Speaker 1: You can imagine the humiliation.
Speaker 1: I can imagine what they were discussing.
Speaker 1: Who are you At, aona, leo?
Speaker 1: You know he always thinks he is the one whose life we shall see.
Speaker 1: I can imagine the anger that was vented upon him, the tearing of his cloak, his gown, the one which was the identity of the love of the Father in him, and throwing him into the pit.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, even in that humiliation, the dream was not lost.
Speaker 1: The dream was not lost.
Speaker 1: They were just doing the right thing, in spite of it being a humiliation.
Speaker 1: They were triggering Joseph to the place of his breakthrough.
Speaker 1: Your humiliation will turn into your honor.
Speaker 1: I say again your humiliation will turn around into an honor.
Speaker 1: When the fulfillment of God's purpose in your life comes, god will be exalted in your challenge.
Speaker 1: The breakthrough moment will come.
Speaker 1: Your few humiliation and pain is only for a moment.
Speaker 1: Paul says these momentary troubles, they are for a moment.
Speaker 1: They are not going to last, because we have a God who comes through for us.
Speaker 1: Do you know Jesus was also humiliated.
Speaker 1: Jesus was humiliated in John 19.23.
Speaker 1: Jesus was also humiliated.
Speaker 1: Do you know?
Speaker 1: He was stripped of his garment, the undergarments remaining.
Speaker 1: When the soldiers, the Bible says, crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, divided them into four shares, one for each of them.
Speaker 1: The undergarments remaining hey, the undergarments remaining.
Speaker 1: These garments were seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
Speaker 1: Let's not tear it, they say to one another.
Speaker 1: Let's decide by Lord who will get it.
Speaker 1: Even Jesus was humiliated.
Speaker 1: The moment of his humiliation was also the moment of his glory, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: Jesus was put on a cross and he died a shameful, humiliating death.
Speaker 1: Yet in the course of his death and suffering and pain, he became our breakthrough In every situation we shall ever face in this world.
Speaker 1: Jesus overcame the enemy, jesus overcame sin, jesus overcame death in his humiliation they buried him, thinking he will not be raised again.
Speaker 1: And on the third day the grave was broken.
Speaker 1: There was a breakthrough and Jesus today is seated at the right hand of the Father, interceding for your breakthrough.
Speaker 1: I say today again you are sent for a breakthrough.
Speaker 1: Will you be going through a humiliation?
Speaker 1: Take heart, focus on God and not on those who are humiliating you.
Speaker 1: Don't allow bitterness and anger and resentment to control or take control of you.
Speaker 1: Let the Holy Spirit minister patience, let the Holy Spirit minister kindness to you.
Speaker 1: Let the Holy Spirit give you the love to share with those who are humiliating you.
Speaker 1: I say again your humiliation will be turned into honor because you are set up for a breakthrough.
Speaker 1: When they put him in the pit, they didn't know that there was a caravan coming of the Ishmaelites.
Speaker 1: They said, instead of killing him, why don't we sell him to the Ishmaelites?
Speaker 1: Unlike Jesus, who was sold for 30 pieces of silver, so was Joseph sold for some pieces of silver sold to the Ishmaelites?
Speaker 1: Now you can imagine Joseph in the pits being told talk a talk, get out of the pit.
Speaker 1: I know they were not telling him softly, they were telling him get out of the pit.
Speaker 1: Who do you think you are?
Speaker 1: And they handed him over to the Ishmaelites and they knew that from that very point, the dream he was dreaming about and the dreamers future and his breakthrough moment would never happen.
Speaker 1: I say again may your humiliation be turned into dignity because God is setting you up for breakthrough.
Speaker 1: Joseph in the pit was an example of humiliation that would later on turn into honor.
Speaker 1: But he was also set for breakthrough because if he didn't go to the pits, the Ishmaelites would not have been able to get him so that he gets to Egypt.
Speaker 1: It was still part of the grand plan of things.
Speaker 1: God set up all these things to happen at the appropriate time.
Speaker 1: Joseph in Potiphar's house Genesis 39, verse 2 and 2, 5,.
Speaker 1: The Lord was with.
Speaker 1: I say the Lord was with Joseph so that he prospered and he lived in the house of the Egyptian masters.
Speaker 1: When his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord gave him success in everything he did, joseph found favor in his size and become his attendant.
Speaker 1: Potiphar put him in charge of his household and he entrusted to his care everything he owned.
Speaker 1: From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the Lord blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph.
Speaker 1: The blessing of the Lord was on everything Potiphar had, both in his house and also in his field.
Speaker 1: Potiphar left everything in the hands of Joseph's care.
Speaker 1: With Joseph's in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate.
Speaker 1: Now Joseph was built and handsome.
Speaker 1: I don't want to continue to the other parts, but let me say this, amidst being taken after slaves now, I wanted to walk with me and imagine that there were many people buying slaves.
Speaker 1: Hello, many people are buying slaves.
Speaker 1: Probably there was this businessman who was operating from Alexandria.
Speaker 1: Probably there was this other one operating from Cairo, but there was Potipha, specially prepared by God that he would be the one to buy Joseph.
Speaker 1: Because Joseph had a destiny to accomplish.
Speaker 1: There was a breakthrough moment for him.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you you are set up for breakthrough.
Speaker 1: Are you seeing God setting up things for Joseph, bringing the Ishmaelites at the right time?
Speaker 1: Joseph is being sold as a slave and probably somebody from Alexandria said ah, I don't want that one.
Speaker 1: Maybe someone from Cairo said I don't want that one.
Speaker 1: But God had set up Potipha.
Speaker 1: God has set up Potipha that Potipha would be the one appointed to take Joseph as a slave in his house.
Speaker 1: Did you know that Joseph was not an Egyptian?
Speaker 1: Joseph was a Jew.
Speaker 1: Therefore, he was not speaking Egyptian language.
Speaker 1: He did not understand Egyptian culture.
Speaker 1: Therefore, he took time to learn the language.
Speaker 1: He took time to understand the culture and he began serving the family as a servant.
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes you'll be brought down to a certain level, but it is not for nothing.
Speaker 1: God is setting you up for a breakthrough, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: Probably if Joseph would have been bought by a businessman operating vehicles in Karyobangi or somewhere in Egypt, the dream would not have been accomplished.
Speaker 1: But God set apart Potipha, who was very close to the king, the one in charge of security.
Speaker 1: God picked him.
Speaker 1: He said you are my instrument, you are the one I have chosen to take care of Joseph.
Speaker 1: I say again you are set up for your breakthrough.
Speaker 1: Even when it doesn't seem so, you are set up for your breakthrough.
Speaker 1: We continue to read about Joseph and God favoring him.
Speaker 1: He was a man favored by God.
Speaker 1: Even in Potipha's house the Lord was with him.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, it doesn't matter whether you are in the pit, it doesn't matter whether you are in Potipha's house.
Speaker 1: When the Lord is with you, you are greatly favored.
Speaker 1: You are greatly favored.
Speaker 1: You are walking with God in your company.
Speaker 1: They may not be paying you that money, but you are greatly favored.
Speaker 1: Yes, you are in this institution and probably you are feeling humiliated and probably you have not been promoted.
Speaker 1: I say again you are highly favored of God and set up for your breakthrough.
Speaker 1: You know the Bible talks about a few people in the Bible who are handsome.
Speaker 1: The first one was Joseph and the Bible says he was handsome.
Speaker 1: He was really handsome.
Speaker 1: The other one who was handsome was David and the other one who was saying David was ready and good, looking at his teenage.
Speaker 1: The other one was handsome, was Absalom.
Speaker 1: Now you can imagine this handsome man living in Potipha's house and according to some historians, people who worked for kings were Unaks.
Speaker 1: I repeat, people who worked for kings were probably Unaks, and it is possible or probably true that Potipha was a Unak.
Speaker 1: That was a real setup.
Speaker 1: You can imagine this handsome man being left with this in this house taking care of everything, with this woman who is flirting around him, trying to interfere with the direction and agenda of God for him.
Speaker 1: And this is what Joseph says far be it from me that I should go to bed with you and sin against God.
Speaker 1: Far be it from me that I should go to bed against you, not sin against your husband, sin against God.
Speaker 1: That was Joseph's standard.
Speaker 1: Joseph was serving God and was not serving Potipha.
Speaker 1: And whatever he was doing in Potipha's house was for the glory and for the honor of God.
Speaker 1: Where you have been assigned as a worker, where you have been assigned in whatever position, are you able to deliver, like Joseph, when God has appointed you in that institution, you are God's agent, you represent God in that institution and because you are there, you are set for breakthrough If you believe in God, if you are working with God, it doesn't matter the situation around you.
Speaker 1: When you've made it your deliberate commitment to serve God, whether you are a slave, whether you are in whichever position, be it in that institution, god will be honored by your service.
Speaker 1: Are you in that institution simply because of the salary, or are you in that institution because you serve God?
Speaker 1: Joseph was representing God in that house.
Speaker 1: No wonder he said Far be it from me that I should sin against my God.
Speaker 1: What would have happened, suppose he decided he was going to go that direction?
Speaker 1: Probably he could have been found out, because your sins will finally find you out.
Speaker 1: Joseph said Far be it from him to sin against God.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, in order for you to break through, you must make a commitment to work with God In that office.
Speaker 1: You must make a deliberate commitment to work with God, regardless of what happens.
Speaker 1: We cannot compromise with the enemy.
Speaker 1: We cannot shake hands with the devil and expect to get to our breakthrough.
Speaker 1: It will not happen.
Speaker 1: We must put a position.
Speaker 1: We must put a stand, because the enemy is there.
Speaker 1: The enemy of our destiny is there.
Speaker 1: The enemy of our breakthrough is there.
Speaker 1: We must put a stand.
Speaker 1: And Joseph put his stand.
Speaker 1: He could not compromise.
Speaker 1: He could not compromise his faith.
Speaker 1: He had every reason.
Speaker 1: After all, the husband is not there.
Speaker 1: After all, he's far away from home.
Speaker 1: After all, nobody is watching.
Speaker 1: The Bible says that Potiphar told everyone to leave.
Speaker 1: He thought that was the opportune moment to get hold of Joseph.
Speaker 1: But Joseph said Far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by going to bed with you.
Speaker 1: We must put a stand.
Speaker 1: We must put a position for God.
Speaker 1: We cannot compromise our faith and expect that we shall break through.
Speaker 1: We must put a position with our God.
Speaker 1: We must stand with our God.
Speaker 1: We must stand by faith, believing in this God that whatever will happen, whatever comes, like Shadrach, like Mezhak, like Abednego, we shall not bow to the idols of the Babylonians.
Speaker 1: We shall not eat their food because we shall not covenant with the kingdom of darkness.
Speaker 1: We are called of God.
Speaker 1: We are the light of the world.
Speaker 1: We are arising and shining.
Speaker 1: We are not double minded or double sided.
Speaker 1: We are walking straight and not cutting corners, because we are the called out ones, called out by God and of God.
Speaker 1: We are in the world.
Speaker 1: But we are not of the world.
Speaker 1: We are different.
Speaker 1: Hallelujah, yes, we are set up for breakthrough if we will take our position with God.
Speaker 1: So Joseph was accused.
Speaker 1: He was accused of sexual advances.
Speaker 1: You know what happened?
Speaker 1: He was accused While he was being taken in the pit, they took his cloak and tore it apart and put blood on it.
Speaker 1: When he was getting out of Potiphar's house, potiphar's wife was holding his cloak of dignity and moral integrity.
Speaker 1: What Potiphar's wife was holding was a cloak of dignity and moral integrity.
Speaker 1: That was not going to change because of fabrication.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you God is watching, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: God is watching.
Speaker 1: Stay on course.
Speaker 1: God is watching.
Speaker 1: Don't compromise.
Speaker 1: You are set for big things.
Speaker 1: You cannot afford to compromise.
Speaker 1: Let's say, joseph compromised.
Speaker 1: What would have become of his brothers?
Speaker 1: What would have become of the nation of Israel?
Speaker 1: What would have become of the future of our faith?
Speaker 1: Probably the nation of Israel would not have existed.
Speaker 1: Probably all of them would have died in farming and therefore Jesus would not have come and therefore there was not going to be salvation.
Speaker 1: But because Joseph took a position, hallelujah, and he said I will not sell my inheritance for pleasure of a few minutes, probably you have compromised your faith and shook hands with the enemy.
Speaker 1: It is time to turn around, because our God gives us second chances, hallelujah.
Speaker 1: You are still set for a breakthrough, because Jesus has died on the cross for you and he was pierced for your transgressions.
Speaker 1: And he says come to me if you confess your sins.
Speaker 1: I am faithful and just, I will forgive you and cleanse you of all your unrighteousness.
Speaker 1: Joseph did not have that privilege.
Speaker 1: Jesus had not died yet.
Speaker 1: But for you and I, there is no excuse for compromise.
Speaker 1: Hallelujah, jesus has died on the cross.
Speaker 1: We have power to overcome sin.
Speaker 1: We can say no to these things.
Speaker 1: Joseph chose to say no and he ended up in prison, in castration, for a crime he never committed.
Speaker 1: Joseph in prison.
Speaker 1: Now he goes to the prison, and that was to check his attitude.
Speaker 1: What was his attitude going to be?
Speaker 1: I can imagine he must have said now Everything about me is falling apart.
Speaker 1: I don't see any dream.
Speaker 1: I don't see my dream coming through.
Speaker 1: I am moving from bad to worse.
Speaker 1: I was in the pit In Israel, now sold to the Egyptians, far away from my dream Right now.
Speaker 1: I was in Potiphar's house.
Speaker 1: I am trying to live rightly and I am sent into the prison.
Speaker 1: Where is hope in the prison?
Speaker 1: But I say again, you are set up for your breakthrough.
Speaker 1: You are set up for your breakthrough.
Speaker 1: What the enemy intends for evil?
Speaker 1: God is still working for your good.
Speaker 1: While in prison, he would have chosen to complain and ask God, why have you put me here?
Speaker 1: Oh God of heaven, you know that I did not do these things.
Speaker 1: Oh God, you know I did not compromise.
Speaker 1: How am I in this jail?
Speaker 1: Oh God, could you have sent angels to come and get me out of this jail?
Speaker 1: Oh God, why couldn't you do this?
Speaker 1: Why couldn't you do that?
Speaker 1: Listen, joseph was not in an ordinary prison, hello, joseph was in a prison where a pharaoh's prisoners were kept.
Speaker 1: Hello, are you following?
Speaker 1: There is a prison for other prisoners and there is a prison for the king's prisoners.
Speaker 1: So, even in the context of the types of prisons he was in, his was a bit different, because it was for the prisoners that the king had put in jail.
Speaker 1: Different because there was a set up for his breakthrough.
Speaker 1: There was the cabbera and the baker and a dream that needed interpretation.
Speaker 1: Therefore, can you imagine Potiphar chose to put him in that jail and not in any other one?
Speaker 1: Is it possible that Potiphar probably knew that Joseph would not commit that kind of sin?
Speaker 1: Is it possible that he decided let me put him in this jailhouse of those prisoners of the king, because there's a level of benefit of doubt likely that this one may not have committed it?
Speaker 1: Is it likely that God was orchestrating how he would eventually end up in the palace?
Speaker 1: But through the cabbera and the baker, there was a dream that needed interpretation, set up for the breakthrough.
Speaker 1: He could not go to an ordinary prison.
Speaker 1: He had to be taken to a different kind of prison because there was a set up for his breakthrough.
Speaker 1: The test of moral integrity is real.
Speaker 1: Today there is sex all over the place, sexual advances being made In today's world.
Speaker 1: There is a lot of compromise.
Speaker 1: We have emerging gender issues like LGBTQ.
Speaker 1: I don't know whether it will get to Z at this rate.
Speaker 1: We must put a position for God.
Speaker 1: We must flee.
Speaker 1: We must run away from all these things, no matter what kind of prison.
Speaker 1: They put us Now in the prison, thinking that all is lost, and probably you could be thinking that for you, all is lost and you are losing hope and saying what is left of me.
Speaker 1: I'm at the end of the tether, but that is the next step to your breakthrough.
Speaker 1: The cabaret had a dream and the baker had a dream because God was with Joseph.
Speaker 1: He gave Joseph the ability to interpret dreams and Joseph interpreted this dream and he talked about in three days.
Speaker 1: In three days, god was with Joseph, god worked with Joseph.
Speaker 1: He gave Joseph the ability to interpret dreams and Joseph would always say it is not my strength, it is not by my power, it is not because I am who I am.
Speaker 1: It is because of God's grace in my life.
Speaker 1: Joseph interpreted the dream and even after interpreting the dream in the prison, he is hoping that the cabaret will remember him.
Speaker 1: So he asked down the line the promotion is not coming from men.
Speaker 1: Listen, the promotion is not coming from men.
Speaker 1: The promotion is coming from God.
Speaker 1: It is the Lord who is promoting you, it is the Lord who is taking you to the next level.
Speaker 1: It is the Lord who is breaking through for you.
Speaker 1: I have tried.
Speaker 1: He told the cabaret please remember me.
Speaker 1: Probably, if the cabaret would have remembered Joseph, maybe Joseph would have been taken back to Israel and probably Pharaoh's dream could not have been interpreted, and because Pharaoh's dream could not have been interpreted, then the children of Israel would have remained in Egypt without a delivery, remained in Israel without a deliverer, since there was not going to be food for them to survive on, since Joseph would not have been able to meet the king.
Speaker 1: Do you see the setup?
Speaker 1: There is a setup for you and you are breaking through, set up for breakthrough, and Joseph interprets the dream, waits for two years and there is no answer.
Speaker 1: Have you been waiting and trusting God for an answer?
Speaker 1: Let me tell you in its time, god will break through for you.
Speaker 1: Sometimes your breakthrough requires other things to be done and probably you have waited and also almost losing hope.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you your breakthrough moment is coming.
Speaker 1: It takes other things also.
Speaker 1: Somebody must be promoted for you to be able to take that position.
Speaker 1: The economy must change for certain things to happen for you.
Speaker 1: God is still working.
Speaker 1: Don't lose hope.
Speaker 1: God is still working.
Speaker 1: There are things that need to be aligned so that your time comes.
Speaker 1: For these two years, joseph had to serve the prison and for those two years there was preparation in Egypt that the dream of Pharaoh would come at the appointed time Joseph in the palace.
Speaker 1: The dream is interpreted.
Speaker 1: Joseph talks to the cabera, the cabera forgets, and now the cabera remembers there is this prisoner, who was in prison, who was able to interpret my dream Two years later.
Speaker 1: Genesis 41, verse 9 to 16,.
Speaker 1: Genesis 41, verse 9 to 16.
Speaker 1: Then the chief cabera say to Pharaoh oh, today I'm reminded of who I am, with my shortcomings.
Speaker 1: Pharaoh was once angry with this servant and he imprisoned me and the chief baker and the house of the captain of the God.
Speaker 1: Each of us had a dream the same night and each dream had a meaning of its own.
Speaker 1: Now Ayang Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the God who told him our dreams and he interpreted them for us, giving each man the interpretation of his dream, and things turned out exactly as he interpreted them to us.
Speaker 1: I was restored to my position and the other man was impaled.
Speaker 1: I don't want to continue with that scripture because you know it.
Speaker 1: God set up that the cabera would eventually return to Pharaoh's table to serve him with wine.
Speaker 1: And Pharaoh is disturbed by a dream and Joseph has to come and something happens.
Speaker 1: When he appears before Pharaoh, he's shavened, he's dressed up, he removes the prison clothes and he puts on new ones because things are changing for him.
Speaker 1: Please take us to Genesis 41, verse 33.
Speaker 1: And now let Pharaoh look for a designing and wise man.
Speaker 1: After interpreting the dream and telling Pharaoh what will happen, joseph does not say I am the one.
Speaker 1: I can imagine how we would have been the one saying I am the one who is able to do these things.
Speaker 1: And now let Pharaoh look for a discerning and wise man and put him in charge of the land of Egypt.
Speaker 1: He is saying find a discerning man, put in charge of Egypt.
Speaker 1: And probably within the setting of Egypt, there was a minister in charge of food security.
Speaker 1: Probably there was a minister in charge of agriculture.
Speaker 1: Probably there was a minister who was in charge of, you know, irrigation.
Speaker 1: That day, because of the interpretation of the dream, things had to change because of Joseph.
Speaker 1: He gave his CV.
Speaker 1: By interpreting the dream, he also gave an unprecedented solution to the problem in Egypt.
Speaker 1: And Pharaoh says who else can handle this office but you?
Speaker 1: What does he do?
Speaker 1: Genesis 41, from verse 41 to 47.
Speaker 1: Genesis 41, 41 to 47.
Speaker 1: The Bible says from verse 41.
Speaker 1: So Pharaoh said to Joseph, I hear by put you in charge of the whole land of Egypt.
Speaker 1: Then Pharaoh took his signet ring from his finger and put it on Joseph's finger.
Speaker 1: He dressed him with.
Speaker 1: I wanted to read this he dropped.
Speaker 1: He dressed him with.
Speaker 1: He dropped.
Speaker 1: He dressed him with robes of fine linen.
Speaker 1: Do you remember the robe that his father prepared for him?
Speaker 1: Do you remember the clock that remained with Potiphar's wife?
Speaker 1: By the way, when all these things are happening, when Pharaoh is giving Joseph this promotion, I'm trying to imagine that Potiphar is somewhere watching, because he was in charge of the security of Pharaoh.
Speaker 1: Therefore, he must have understood everything that was going on.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you God is watching.
Speaker 1: God is watching.
Speaker 1: It is not written in the Bible, but I want you to imagine when Potiphar went back home, what was the conversation?
Speaker 1: Did he really do that?
Speaker 1: How comes?
Speaker 1: You know, I knew.
Speaker 1: Now Potiphar is talking to the wife.
Speaker 1: Now I knew, I knew there was something not going right.
Speaker 1: How comes he's able to interpret Pharaoh's dream?
Speaker 1: Then he looks at his wife and wonders really did you have to do that?
Speaker 1: Did you have to put an innocent man in prison?
Speaker 1: But remember, it was God setting up Joseph.
Speaker 1: And I'm saying again you are set up for your breakthrough.
Speaker 1: Do not lose heart.
Speaker 1: It may not look good, but you are set up for your breakthrough.
Speaker 1: Stand together with God, and God will see you through.
Speaker 1: And he put a gold chain around his neck.
Speaker 1: He had him drive in chariots as his second hand command, and people shouted before him make way.
Speaker 1: Thus he put Joseph.
Speaker 1: Thus he put the next one.
Speaker 1: Thus he put, thus he put that he put Joseph second in command of, only after Pharaoh.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you you are set up for your breakthrough.
Speaker 1: Regardless of the situation you face, god is on your side.
Speaker 1: God is not against you.
Speaker 1: All things work together for good For those who love God, those who are called according to his purpose.
Speaker 1: You are called according to God's purpose, regardless of whatever you are facing, be it in the pit, be it in Potiphar's house, be it in prison, god was with Joseph.
Speaker 1: The same God is with you, regardless of the situation you face.
Speaker 1: You are set up for your breakthrough.
Speaker 1: Shall we pray, father.
Speaker 1: We thank you, father.
Speaker 1: We bless you that you have set us up for blessing.
Speaker 1: You are a good God, always desiring good for us.
Speaker 1: Lord, you desired good for Joseph Even when he was in the pit.
Speaker 1: It might have been painful, but yet you had a divine plan for him.
Speaker 1: Oh God, we see him being handed over to Potiphar, moving on into the prison, going through a challenging and difficult life, but yet, god, our Father, for those 13 years you were together with Joseph.
Speaker 1: Lord, if there is anyone in this congregation losing hope, giving up in a situation, in a challenge, may they put, may we put our hope in God, because God will not disappoint us.
Speaker 1: Oh God, you are not one who disappoints, you are one who lifts up from the ash heap.
Speaker 1: You are the one who lifts us up from one level of glory to another.
Speaker 1: Oh God, be it, in this business, that one of us, or some of us, could be struggling because the economy is not doing well, we will choose to trust in you because you are true and you will pull us through the situation.
Speaker 1: Oh God, be it.
Speaker 1: An employment that someone has been looking for, an opportunity in employment, and the door has not been opened.
Speaker 1: Lord, we declare tonight an open door that you would break through for this one.
Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus, oh God, we pray for this one who has been looking forward to a promotion.
Speaker 1: They have been serving and waiting and waiting and hoping, and yet the breakthrough moment has not happened.
Speaker 1: Oh God, we pray.
Speaker 1: Would you come through for them?
Speaker 1: There is this one who is trusting you for a project.
Speaker 1: They've started a project and the project has not taken off.
Speaker 1: They are still trusting you, waiting on you, father, I pray, would you bring that project to pass, that this one will come and testify.
Speaker 1: Indeed, the Lord has broken through for me.
Speaker 1: Lord, I pray this one going through a financial struggle.
Speaker 1: Probably they are in debt, surfacing alone and wondering how they will make it.
Speaker 1: Oh God, I pray.
Speaker 1: You are the provider of the people.
Speaker 1: Everything belongs to you the earth and the fullness they are of Everything you created.

Speaker 1: We choose not to give up, in spite of the situations that we shall face.
Speaker 1: We shall choose to trust you because you'll come through for us.
Speaker 1: We thank you because the story of Joseph is a story of encouragement In spite of difficulty, in spite of the challenges we know.
Speaker 1: Oh God, our Father, you have set us up for breakthrough and you are breaking through for us.
Speaker 1: We thank you and we bless you because you are prayed, even believing and trusting In the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior, and we all say it Amen, amen, and may the Lord come through for you, because we are trusting God for testimonies.
