Topic: The God Who Works
SCRIPTURE: My father worketh hitherto and I work. John 5:17.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: God works with people who are willing to work.
MESSAGE: One of the attributes of God, according to our anchor scripture, is diligence. He is a God who works. We were created in the Image of God and are, therefore, supposed to work diligently the way God works (Genesis 1:26). It is an abuse of association to be lazy as a child of God. You are not a child of God if you are not diligent like God.

On the other hand, Pharaoh was making Joseph to know that the lazy or the weak among them should not be allowed to go near his flock.
