Psalm 113:7(He raiseth up the poor out
of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; 8 That he may set him
with princes, even with the princes of his people).
Psalm121:1(I will lift up mine eyes
unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 2 My help cometh from the LORD,
which made heaven and earth).
As we continue our journey here on
earth; it is very important to know that being in the dunghill may not
necessarily be our fault. Some are orchestrated by the enemies as a result of
envy and jealousy while some found themselves in the dunghill because of
ignorance. Whatever may be the reason; the good news is God has made a way of
escape for you and you don’t need to remain in the valley any more. In the case
of Joseph, he was a rich spoilt kid and beloved of his father. He has no reason
to be in the dunghill but his brothers put him there out of envy and jealousy.
It was a pure case of a household enemy. They were jealous of his
colorful destiny. I pray for someone reading this, the Lord will fight for you
and make your enemies bow to you in Jesus name. Joseph did not wallow in
self-pity or sorrow. He maintains a joyful heart and keeps a cheerful
countenance. His heart was connected to God and he kept calling on God for
help. Joseph knew that his situation can only be remedied by God. He looked
deep inside and found a treasure that God had deposited in him and he refused
to trade it for pleasure (Genesis 39:7-9). Joseph held on to his
integrity and refused to let it go. He refused to do wicked things and to sin
against God. He serves with joy as a slave and even in the dungeon he was
always joyful and diligent. When the time came for him to be rescued out of the
dunghill; the king sent for him and loose him and made him second in command in
Egypt. He was more than a prince; that’s God for you. Like I say in the first
segment, you cannot force a child that does not extend a friendly hand. Pastor
Faith Oyedepo says and I quote “It is okay to fall several times but it is a
sin to remain on the ground” Joseph refuses to remain on the ground. He fought
his way to the top. I see you making your way to the top most top in Jesus
name. Joseph keeps looking unto God and giving glory to Him even in his sorry
situation. He was a joyful fellow; it takes a joyful man to recognize sad
people (Genesis 40:6-14). Joseph found out that Pharaoh’s prisoners were
not happy and he interpreted their dream and that was his ticket out of the
dunghill. Like Joseph, everyone's ticket is in their hand. Only God can lift up
the poor out of the dunghill; please ignore your enemy and look up to God where
your help will come from. Joseph did not lament against his brothers or
Potiphar’s wife. He kept seeking God’s attention by his attitude. Wallowing in
the past keeps God away from us and the farther we are from God the deeper we
go down into the valley. That will not be your portion in Jesus name. The
psalmist says in Psalm 121:1(I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from
whence cometh my help. 2 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and
earth). The LORD has not changed, He is still the same yesterday, today and
forever and His hand is stretched out towards you right now. He is beckoning on
you to come out of the dunghill; please let him help you. The first step is
salvation; Jesus Christ was made poor, so that through his poverty you and I
can be made rich (Revelation 5:12 and 2 Corinthians 8:9). He was slain
so that we can receive riches. Don’t let his sacrifice be in vain; extend a
friendly hand toward him, accept him as your Lord and savior and watch him
enthrone you.
Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a
sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your
precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord
Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
