Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 12th November 2023
Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 12th November 2023 – Today’s Word with Joel & Victoria Osteen. Read Sunday Daily Devotional Message by Joel Osteen.
TOPIC: Helping Others
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
Luke 6:35, NKJV -“But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil.”
TODAY’S WORD
In the Scripture, Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers and working for a man named Potiphar. Rather than focus on his problem and be bitter, Joseph was so faithful that he was put in charge of Potiphar’s household. Later, after he was falsely accused and put in prison, rather than focus on his problem, he was so excellent that he was put in charge of all the prisoners. Then when Pharaoh needed his dream interpreted, Joseph stepped in to help, with no thought of getting something in return, yet he was made the prime minister of Egypt as a result.
Notice that while you’re working on someone else’s problem, God is working on your problem. You may think you could never get well, never break the addiction, never accomplish your dream. But if you keep being good to people, keep helping them solve their problem, keep helping their dream come to pass, what you can’t see is that God is lining up the healing, the breakthrough, the promotion. You can’t sow a seed without reaping a harvest.
Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that You destined me to help other people solve their problems. Help me to keep my eyes open for the people and opportunities You bring me to serve. I believe that as I take my hands off my problems, You will put Your hands on them and help solve them. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

About Joel Osteen
Raised in Houston, Texas, with a loving family of seven and world-renowned parents in full-time ministry, Joel Osteen never imagined that he would follow so closely in his father’s footsteps. As a young man, his training and interests were behind the scenes in television production, though he was close to his father in ministry.
“There’s no greater feeling than being able to help people rise higher and overcome something and feel better about themselves. I think that we’re all made to help others, to lift people UP.”- JOEL OSTEEN
His father always encouraged him to preach, but Joel would politely decline time and time again until one day in October 1999 when his father was admitted to the hospital with kidney complications. Joel finally agreed to preach the next Sunday, and his father passed the following week. Joel’s first sermon was the last his father ever heard. Joel and his wife, Victoria, were suddenly thrust into full-time leadership of Lakewood Church.
