Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: It's your early morny praise party. I am Sherry Mackie
- 0:03Speaker 1: at his time, right now for today's word Marked for favor.
- 0:09Speaker 1: Marked for Favor. Genesis thirty nine, three and four in
- 0:14Speaker 1: the New International version says, when Joseph's master saw that
- 0:18Speaker 1: the Lord was with him, and that the Lord gave
- 0:21Speaker 1: him success in everything he did, potter Ford put him
- 0:25Speaker 1: in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his
- 0:28Speaker 1: care everything he owned. Joseph's life is a powerful reminder
- 0:36Speaker 1: that God's blessings will make you stand out, even when
- 0:39Speaker 1: you start in an overlooked place. Joseph didn't begin in
- 0:43Speaker 1: a palace. He began as a slave. He had no title,
- 0:47Speaker 1: he had no influence, he had no connections, and he
- 0:50Speaker 1: had no voice. Yet what he did have was the
- 0:56Speaker 1: favor of God. And favor doesn't need position to function.
- 1:00Speaker 1: Come on, Jesus, it creates position. Potiphar noticed something different
- 1:07Speaker 1: about Joseph. It wasn't just his work, ethic or his attitude,
- 1:13Speaker 1: though those did matter. Scripture says Potterphar South that the
- 1:17Speaker 1: Lord was with him, That divine presence caused everything Joseph
- 1:22Speaker 1: touched to prosper. The blessing on his life, spoke louder
- 1:26Speaker 1: than his circumstances. There were surely others in the house
- 1:30Speaker 1: who had been there longer, had more experience, and thought
- 1:34Speaker 1: they deserved that promotion. But God doesn't promote based on seniority.
- 1:38Speaker 1: Come on, Jesus, he promotes based on destiny. When his
- 1:44Speaker 1: hand is on your life, he will accelerate you past
- 1:47Speaker 1: what seems logical. You may feel unnoticed right now. You're
- 1:52Speaker 1: doing your best, You're showing up faithfully, but no one
- 1:55Speaker 1: seems to acknowledge your effort. Your boss overlooks you. Family
- 1:59Speaker 1: men members underestimate you. Friends don't see your potential. But
- 2:04Speaker 1: just because people don't see it yet doesn't mean that
- 2:08Speaker 1: God isn't working behind the scenes. Favor would cause people
- 2:12Speaker 1: to suddenly recognize what they once ignored. When God marks
- 2:16Speaker 1: you with his blessing, you don't have to compete. You
- 2:19Speaker 1: don't have to manipulate, You don't have to prove yourself.
- 2:22Speaker 1: Your consistently will speak volumes, your integrity will shine, your
- 2:28Speaker 1: excellence will be undeniable, And in time, the same people
- 2:32Speaker 1: who overlooked you will be the ones recommending you. Joseph
- 2:37Speaker 1: didn't get better. Joseph didn't get lazy or offended. While
- 2:40Speaker 1: he waited, he stayed faithful where he was planted. He
- 2:44Speaker 1: worked with excellence in a place that didn't look like
- 2:47Speaker 1: his promise. That's the key. How you handle where you
- 2:51Speaker 1: are determined where you're going. If you keep honoring God,
- 2:54Speaker 1: doing the right things when no one is watching, staying humble,
- 2:58Speaker 1: giving your best and blessing on your life, y'all are
- 3:02Speaker 1: gonna lift you. God will cause you to stand out
- 3:06Speaker 1: in the rule, rise and influence and be trusted with
- 3:09Speaker 1: greater responsibility. You're not meant to stay hidden. You are
- 3:14Speaker 1: marked with God's favor. Father, thank you for placing your
- 3:19Speaker 1: favor and your blessing on our lives. Help us God
- 3:21Speaker 1: to stay faithful, to stay diligent and humble no matter
- 3:24Speaker 1: where we are Right now, God, we trust that you
- 3:27Speaker 1: are working behind the scenes, and that in your time
- 3:31Speaker 1: you will cause us to stand out. God, we declare
- 3:33Speaker 1: that we are rising not because of people, but because
- 3:37Speaker 1: of You. In Jesus' name. Hey, now that's your word
- 3:40Speaker 1: for today. Take it applied to your everyday life and
- 3:43Speaker 1: you continue to be encouraged to and inspired. It is
- 3:46Speaker 1: your early Boddy Praise Party. I am Sherry Mackie
