SCRIPTURE: And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed: For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf. Genesis 37:6-7.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The Blessing of God places the mark of distinction over a person’s life.
It has been confirmed that to live in the blessing is to live in distinction. The Blessing of God places the mark of distinction over a person’s life. A blessed person does not die out but stands out in his or her generation.
When you are blessed, you can’t be lost in the crowd. There is an unmistakable seal on your life that makes you stand out if you are blessed.
The Scripture reveals that Joseph stood out from his brothers.
Genesis 37:6-7 says,
6 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
7 For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
You see, what made Joseph stand out from his brothers was the Blessing on his life. Joseph was a custodian of the generational Blessing of Abraham. Abraham blessed Isaac; Isaac blessed Jacob, and Jacob blessed Joseph.
The way Joseph stood out from his brothers is the same way a blessed person stands out from the rest. The Blessing on Joseph’s life made him stand out from the rest, and people bowed before him.
Beloved, if you don’t want to die out or be relegated to the background, crave for the blessing. If you don’t want to be lost in the crowd, go for the blessing.
I decree that everything that buried other people in your family and community shall bow before you, in Jesus’ Name. You are too blessed to die out. You shall stand out in Jesus Name.
Remember this: The Blessing of God places the mark of distinction over a person’s life.
