Day 10 Reconciliation Fasting

Nothing Bought, or Requiring the Compromise of Your Dignity

can Compare to the Value of Your True Worth

Today’s Scripture: Genesis 39: 1-10 (NIV)

¹ Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh's officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there.

² The LORD was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. ³ When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, ⁴ Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. ⁵ 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. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. ⁶ So he left in Joseph's care everything he had; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, ⁷ and after a while his master's wife took notice of Joseph and said, "Come to bed with me!"

⁸ But he refused. "With me in charge," he told her, "my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. ⁹ No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?" ¹⁰ And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her.

Today’s Scripture Message

We witness many people pushing ahead at the expense of others. The position, the stature, the fortune and fame is more important than the lives ruined in its pursuit. The greatest blessing is the fact that what you were given is a part of you, it can’t be bought, it can’t be stolen, no lie can overpower it, no dollar amount large enough for someone else to own it. It is the greatness of God within you and it is yours to apply in everything you do.

Material things are fleeting. A car can be replaced, money re obtained, a home repurchased, stop attaching your worth to those things. There are two certainties in life…time will never return to you & your life, once it’s gone, it’s gone. Value your time & live every second as if it was your last enjoying every moment.

Thought for the Day:

““Always look to the good stuff in your life, otherwise you're wasting what time you're given here sulking about the crap that in the end won't be anything to you.”.” Unknown

Goal for the Day:

Waste No Time.

Success Is Who You Are, Not What You Have

Today, we’re fasting from the thought that says, “This economy is standing in the way of my success. ”Let's CHANGE IT TODAY:

Believe you have the power to succeed in any economy. Deuteronomy 8:18 says, "...God has given you the power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant." Notice what God gives you: the power to get it. This promise is for YOU. Meditate on it.

Understand the ROOT to success—meditating on the Word of God. Psalm 1:1-3 says, "...As long as you flood your mind with the Word of God, God will fill your life with success." Your success is connected to you flooding your mind with the Word. It is not dependent upon or connected to the economy.

Become favor-minded. Expect God to open doors for YOU that no one can close (Revelation 3:8). He wants to overtake you with increase and favor. (Psalm 115:14) Favor surrounds YOU like a shield. (Psalm 5:12) Fill your mind with FAVOR-EXPECTATION.

Success is WHO YOU ARE, not what you have. Remember Joseph. Stripped of everything and sold into slavery, the Bible calls him a SUCCESSFUL man (Genesis 39:1-2). He ‘was a successful man'. By BEING that, external success followed.

Be covenant-minded. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob all succeeded in times of FAMINE and economic trouble. (Genesis 24, 26 & 28) You have been promised the same blessing as them! (Galatians 3:29) Expect it!

Refuse to let the economy or anything else determine your limitations and possibilities. ASK SUCCESS. THINK SUCCESS. EXPECT SUCCESS. It will always comes.

THINK IT & SAY IT:
I have the power to succeed even in the worst economy. God will establish His covenant in this earth through me. I choose to fill my mind with the GOOD news rather than the current news. The Word is my meditation, day and night. I am favor-minded. It's coming to me every day, somehow, someway. I am a successful person, and successful living follows! I think big success; ask big success; and I expect BIG success, in Jesus’ Name!
