TODAY’S INSPIRATION
When the Spirit of God works in a person, then He will give His chosen all the gifts that have never been there, so as to make others astonished, amazed by the actions of the hand of God and glorify the name of God.
In the master plan of God, Joseph was defined as viceroy and certainly as a king who will worship the crowds, so Joseph had to be in a royal sovereign and sovereign kingdom that time exists only in Egypt. In this country, Joseph began the journey toward the fulfilment of the promise of God. Joseph in Egypt is processed through the mountains as if the issue upside down and away from what God promised.
Through the journey of life are complicated and difficult, Joseph mush adapt to the new environment. He learned the language and culture of Egypt for 13 years of the most difficult environments in slavery and imprisoned, but the unique process of ‘learning and adaptation of Joseph’ happening is in jail king kingdom contains those educated and not in jail criminals were rude and did not civilized. Something remarkable is that Joseph a person who has the Spirit of God that enabled him to bear mountain faithfully problem by always giving thanks in the fear of God. Positive things that this produces a loyalty, perseverance and absolute obedience so that the Spirit of God increased in his life and deliver a special wisdom to understand and interpret dreams, a special and unique gift that is not possessed by all men of knowledge in a country is sovereign. And the Lord through Joseph became Pharaoh’s viceroy confirms full ruling in a sovereign state.

Joseph’s Rise to Power
37 So the advice was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants. 38 And Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?”
39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Inasmuch as God has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you. 40 You shall be over my house, and all my people shall be ruled according to your word; only in regard to the throne will I be greater than you.” 41 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.”
42 Then Pharaoh took his signet ring off his hand and put it on Joseph’s hand; and he clothed him in garments of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck. 43 And he had him ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried out before him, “Bow the knee!” So he set him over all the land of Egypt. 44 Pharaoh also said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, and without your consent no man may lift his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.” 45 And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphnath-Paaneah. And he gave him as a wife Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On. So Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.
46 Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt. 47 Now in the seven plentiful years the ground brought forth abundantly. 48 So he gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities; he laid up in every city the food of the fields which surrounded them. 49 Joseph gathered very much grain, as the sand of the sea, until he stopped counting, for it was immeasurable.
50 And to Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him. 51 Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: “For God has made me forget all my toil and all my father’s house.” 52 And the name of the second he called Ephraim: “For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
53 Then the seven years of plenty which were in the land of Egypt ended, 54 and the seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph had said. The famine was in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread. 55 So when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread. Then Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph; whatever he says to you, do.” 56 The famine was over all the face of the earth, and Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold to the Egyptians. And the famine became severe in the land of Egypt. 57 So all countries came to Joseph in Egypt to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all lands.
