37 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
38 And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
39 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:
40 Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.
41 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
Open Heaven For Teens – 18th November 2025 MESSAGE
I serve a God who can turn a ‘nobody’ into ‘somebody’ in the twinkling of an eye. Each time I remember how my father was ridiculed amongst his poor friends by calling him the poorest in our town, I wish they were alive today to see the wonders of God. By His special grace, God is now using me today to take care of some of the children and grandchildren of those who insulted my dad several years ago.
Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers. He was also wrongly accused of rape and was condemned to rot in prison because he did not have anyone to defend him. However, God granted him a presidential pardon through the gift of interpretation of dreams.
My dear child, your greatness does not lie in the hands of anyone but you. The enemy may try to delay your destiny, but you have the power to stop him. Joseph stayed away from sin and kept using his gifts even in prison, and at the appointed time, God lifted him into the palace. Like Joseph, avoid sin, be diligent in whatever you do, and God will miraculously improve your situation.
ACTION POINT:
Avoid sin and be diligent in all you do, and God will promote you at the appointed time.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: EZEKIEL 37:1-38:23, JAMES 1:19-2:17
HYMN 61 – TAKE THE NAME OF JESUS WITH YOU
1 Take the name of Jesus with you,
Child of sorrow and of woe.
It will joy and comfort give you,
Take it then where’er you go.
Chorus:
Precious name, O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven;
Precious name, O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven.
2 Take the name of JesUs ever
As a shield from evr’y snare;
If temptations ’round you gather,
Breathe that holy name in prayer.
3 Oh, the precious name of Jesus,
How it thrills our souls with joy,
When His loving arms receive us,
And His songs Our tongues employ!
4 At the name of Jesus bowing,
Falling prostrate at His feet
King of kings, in heaven we’ll crown Him
When our journey is complete.
