Pastor J.T. Kalejaiye - Above Only

TOPIC: ABOVE ONLY

PREACHER: PASTOR J.T. KALEJAIYE

This is the will of God for anyone who is willing to pay the price – Deut. 28:13.

Brethren, God did not create you to be a spectator; a spectator watch things happen.

God created you to be a player; a player make things happen.

God formed you in order to be above only and to remain on top – Genesis 1:26.

Our focus today is Joseph. Joseph had a background but his background did not put him on the ground. He was above and not beneath. Everywhere Joseph went, he ruled and he reigned.

Right from his father’s house, Joseph ruled; he was appointed the commissioner for information – Genesis 37:2^b.

In Potiphar’s house, Joseph was made an overseer/CEO over Potiphar;s household and businesses – Genesis 39:4&6.

In the prison, Joseph ruled and reigned – Genesis 19:22&23.

In King Pharaoh’s palace, after Joseph interpreted the king’s dream, the king made him a prime minister, not by election but by selection/appointment. – Genesis 41:41&43.

Joseph was above only because he met with some conditions/requirements;

1.       He was divinely connected: For this reason, everywhere he went, he received divine favor and support. Joseph knew God and God knew him. He was on the Lord’s side and the Lord was on his side. Your connection can determine your collection.

2.       Joseph had a vision/dream of greatness: Your vision can determine your future.

3.       Joseph was committed and hardworking: Genesis 37:2, Genesis 39:4. Proverbs 12:24.

4.       Joseph was a blessing: He affected many lives positively; Joseph was a blessing to his father, no wonder he received his father’s blessing- Genesis 49:25&26. He was a blessing to his wicked brothers; he forgave, accommodated and fed them during famine. He was a blessing to the chief butler, Potiphar, King Pharaoh and to the entire Egypt.
