"And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man: and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian and his master saw that the Lord was with him, and that the lord made all that he did to prosper in his hand" Genesis 39:2-3.
Too often the spiritual people among us seem to have lost the practical skills they need to be successful in life, and the practical people among us do not possess the spiritual virtues that would bring them to ultimate success. Joseph had it all: incredible brilliance, impeccable character and uncompromised holiness. He was the type of man that we should all aspire to be.
Joseph prophesied with profound accuracy and authority. He administered with a brilliance that would have made him a multi-billionaire in today’s economic climate. He was a man of virtues: his commitment to his father, his endurance of hardship, his service heart and his forgiving nature were all commendable.
Joseph was a man born of corruptible seed just like you and I, the difference was because he learned to yield to the hand of God and lived to benefit his fellow men and women. Very few people ever prophesied as he did and only few have been supernaturally promoted and favored as he was. Joseph was truly the image of what an anointed man should be. Pharaoh was surely a pagan, a heathen, an idol worshipping man and yet he attributed Joseph’s power to divinity/ He knew he could find no better man than for the job, because the living God was with Joseph. No wonder the Bible says that we shall inherit the riches of the Gentiles (the ungodly).
Listen to this: "And pharaoh took off his ring from his hand and put it upon Joseph hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck: and he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had: and they cried before him ruler over all the land of Egypt" Genesis 41:42-43.
The same Joseph, who had been despised by his brothers and rebuked by his father, then became ruler over all the land of Egypt. An anointed lifestyle will bring forth the manifestation of God’s power.
