Proverbs 18:16 KJV
“A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.”
God makes and opens doors for us. A door in simple terms, is an opportunity for greater things and greater success.
When Joseph was bought by Potiphar, a door was opened to him. When Esther was chosen to be part of the beauty pageant, it was a door that opened.
And when Joseph was brought in before Pharaoh a door was opened for him that day. God opened a door for David and he got an appointment with king Saul to be his armour bearer.
Meanwhile, there were things that some of these people did as a one-time action or even as their lifestyle for things to open up to them the way they did.
Here are a few ways you can create or open your own doors, and Joseph will be our case study this time around.
i. There was nothing like prime minister designation in Egypt, but Joseph's arrival created that position. How did this happen? He kept being a blessing and doing good. He hated evil and loved righteous practices. He never joined his brothers to dupe their father.
ii. Joseph also loved to take charge of things wherever he found himself. He didn't wait to be told what to do, he did things within and even outside his scope of work.
iii. He used his gift to help people. The butler and baker did not ask for his help, he was the one who asked to help them because he saw they were sad. He was willing to do all within his power to be of help and he did. He did good to all men wherever he found them.
iv. He turned down the opportunity to do evil. He was willing to lose his job if Mrs. Potiphar insisted on the unrighteous demands that she made of him. These were the things that didn't just open doors for Joseph, but also created doors where there were none.
Assignment
i. Thank God for today's exposition.
ii. Follow each step taken by Joseph and make it part of your lifestyle.
iii. Believe God for not just open doors but creation of doors.
Prayer
-Lord I receive the grace and favour never to be turned down another day in my life in Jesus Name.
-I receive open doors and creation of doors where necessary in Jesus Name.
Nugget
There things you must do, either as a one-time action or even as your lifestyle for things to open up to you the way they should.
