You Are Set to Rule

“And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath showed thee all this, [there is] none so discreet and wise as thou [art]: 40 Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou. 41 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.”
In & through our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ, you are set to rule. Now let us examine the meaning of the word, ‘Rule’. To rule means govern, reign, or to make judgement. This is awesome because God expects you to take charge wherever you are. Not by arrogance but by wisdom.
Most times Christians react in two ways. Firstly, when confronted with an issue or problems they tend to shy away or they fight in the flesh. Both these attitudes are wrong. The Lord expects you to take a stand in humility & wisdom. This means you stand up in His strength. As you function in wisdom God then begins to promote you. With this promotion comes a greater level of influence. This is when you let the Word of God reign through you.
As with Joseph, He was a man taken from the ‘Pit’ to the ‘Palace’. He did not complain & murmur nor did he begin a side fellowship. His fellowship was with the Lord of Hosts who promoted him. Be faithful in your position now & God will take you to a higher place. How you function in your low place determines how you go to your High place.
