Today was Edge Church today. And today's reading comes from Edge's Bible reading plan.
Genesis 41
38 Then Pharaoh said to his officials, "Isn't this the man we need? Are we going to find anyone else who has God's spirit in him like this?"
So there it is. The king himself saying that no one was more qualified than Joseph, a Hebrew slave who only minutes ago was imprisoned, unshaven and smelly (Huiwen :P).
This is the kind of favour that I would want in my life. That God's favour is so obvious that people see beyond my talent to the God in me. Isn't this the man we need?
Coupled with my prophecy, that I will be the top in my field, I will determine not to choose the choice that will draw me away from God. But to seek the one that will draw me closer to God, and probably the one where people will say "Isn't this the man we need?" and they will not only see talent, but a supernatural movement that happens around me because I have God's spirit in me.
Other things that transpired today. The restoration card for 2010. What do I want restored?
My relationships
-family
-friends in Malaysia and SG
My ministry
-cell group
My vision
-to be a teacher
Yup, and today I sort of felt God reassuring me that my ministry/work is to be a teacher, when Pastor Jonathan at Edge was talking about Stephen, how he was a man appointed to distribute food. And it clicked to me that that is what teaching is, distributing the bread of God. But he didn't just do it on his own, he was full of the Holy Spirit and had wisdom and knowledge of the Bible. A fearless man, clear of his vision and willing to pay the price.
So now it's back to something the Divine Mentor taught me, protect the roots. And I'm not going to let another year slip me by. Two things I'm going to focus on,
1 - making a habit of morning QT
2 - maturing into a real man
