Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 12 July 2026 TOPIC: Generational Blessings
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“Now I am claiming as my own sons these two boys of yours, Ephraim and Manasseh, who were born here in the land of Egypt before I arrived. They will be my sons, just as Reuben and Simeon are.” – Genesis 48:5, NLT
TODAY’S WORD
In Genesis 48, when Jacob was old and about to bless his twelve sons with their inheritances, he unexpectedly adopted Joseph’s two sons as his sons. That meant that these two grandsons would share in the same inheritance as the twelve sons. Ephraim and Manasseh should have had to wait to get their inheritance from their father, but because Jacob adopted them, he put them four decades down the road. One good break, and they were a generation ahead.
God is showing us that He doesn’t always follow a normal timeline. Yes, there are seasons of waiting and doing the right thing when nothing is changing. But you’re also going to come into these moments of favor when He catapults you ahead. You are a grandson whom God adopts as His own, so to speak. He has some blessings that are going to put you a generation ahead. To reach the fullness of your destiny, there are going to be some of these fast-forward moments. It will be the hand of God, accelerating your destiny, thrusting you years ahead.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You for Your amazing grace in adopting me as Your child and including me in Your inheritance. Thank You that You can take what seems like it could take years to happen and suddenly turn it around for me. I believe I am coming into the abundant blessings of my inheritance. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
