SEEDS, IN A MANSION OR ON A MISSION (PART 2)


TEXT: Genesis 41:33-37 (KJV)
33 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.
35 And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
36 And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.
37 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
Most people will do anything at all cost to get more money but only a few understand the secret of growing enduring and durable wealth. Enduring and durable wealth is more than hard work, experience, intelligence, skills and talents. It is more about the accumulation and the application of godly wisdom enshrined in biblical principles. Joseph entered Egypt as a slave without the smallest coin in his pocket but by the supernatural wisdom of God he became the most powerful man in Egypt and by his counsel he made pharaoh and Egypt great. It takes supernatural wisdom to lift a man or nation from insignificance to a place of great prominence. Your seed is much more than money and other tangible things. The truth is that the tangible and visible is often a product of the intangible and the invisible. Steel is not grown on a tree. It is the product of an idea that transformed other materials into something more durable and useful. The great store of grain that made Egypt great and very significant was only possible because of the wisdom of Joseph. The investment of ideas backed up with a dogged determination and purposeful pursuit is the reason things like the light bulb, a floating metal (Ship) on the water and an aeroplane in the sky became a possibility.

   When a man invests his idea or earning in the right soil he sends his seed on a mission but when he keeps it or spends it on himself and other selfish agenda he has at best stored his seed in a mansion. When Pharaoh took serious the counsel of Joseph posterity and the rest of the world benefited their wisdom and diligence.  Where is your seed?. The Glory Realm Devotional by Rev.
