TOPIC: SERVING YOUR WAY TO THE THRONE.

SCRIPTURE: verse 2 And Pharaoh was wroth against two of his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.
Verse 3 And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.
Verse 4 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in ward. GENESIS 40 verse 2 to 4. Hallelujah!

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The people you see around you may be your link to your next level.

The people you serve may be your link to your promised land.

The Word of God is full of events and stories that demonstrate the connection between the life of service and the palace. Service is key to royalty. Service is the gateway to the Promised Land.

You know, it is one thing to have a dream, it is another thing to fulfill your dream and destiny.

Now, one key or secret of fulfilling your dream is service.

Service was the key that took Joseph from the prison to the palace.
Genesis 40 verse 2 to 4 says,
#2 And Pharaoh was wroth against two of his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.

#3 And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.

#4 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in ward.

You see, when the captain of the guard kept the chief butler and the baker in the custody of Joseph in the prison, the Bible reveals that Joseph served them. Instead of maltreating them as is usually done in our modern-day prison whenever a new prisoner is brought, Joseph served them.

Instead of suffering them, he served them.
And one of them, who was the chief butler, became his link to the palace, the same place he dreamt about when he was much younger.

God gave him a dream, but it took his service to actualize that dream.

The lesson here is, be careful how you treat the people around you. The people you see around you may be your link to your next level in life. The people you serve may be your link to your Promised Land. Be careful how you handle the people of your life. They may be your link to your future.

One day, the Amalekites invaded the city of David, took his wife, children and others captive. Then David began to pursue them. On his way, he found beside the road, a sick man that had been sick and abandoned for three days, and was left to die. The master of this sick fellow was one of those who invaded the city of David.

David gave him food to eat and the man was revived. The master of this sick fellow left him to die, but David made him to live. At the end, this sick man became David’s link to the people David was looking for.

Beloved, you can serve your way to the palace.

Remember this: The people you see around you may be your link to your next level in life. The people you serve may be your link to your Promised Land.

Take this ASSIGNMENT with you:
#1. Give service a top priority in your life.
#2. Serve God, serve people, be a dedicated servant in the House of God. Yes sir!

Our PRAYER today: Lord, I receive the grace to serve both You and my generation. Let my service be a sweet incense that is pleasing and acceptable to You, Lord, in Jesus Name. Amen!

Today's DAILY READING: from the book of Ezekiel chapter 4 to 6.

We start with Ezekiel chapter 4, “You also, son of man, take a clay tablet and lay it before you, and portray on it a city, Jerusalem. Lay siege against it, build a siege wall against it, and heap up a mound against it; set camps against it also, and place battering rams against it all around. Moreover take for yourself an iron plate, and set it as an iron wall between you and the city. Set your face against it, and it shall be besieged, and you shall lay siege against it. This will be a sign to the house of Israel. “Lie also on your left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it. According to the number of the days that you lie on it, you shall bear their iniquity. For I have laid on you the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days; so you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel. And when you have completed them, lie again on your right side; then you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days. I have laid on you a day for each year. “Therefore you shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem; your arm shall be uncovered, and you shall prophesy against it. And surely I will restrain you so that you cannot turn from one side to another till you have ended the days of your siege. “Also take for yourself wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt; put them into one vessel, and make bread of them for yourself. During the number of days that you lie on your side, three hundred and ninety days, you shall eat it. And your food which you eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day; from time to time you shall eat it. You shall also drink water by measure, one-sixth of a hin; from time to time you shall drink. And you shall eat it as barley cakes; and bake it using fuel of human waste in their sight.” Then the Lord said, “So shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, where I will drive them.” So I said, “Ah, Lord God! Indeed I have never defiled myself from my youth till now; I have never eaten what died of itself or was torn by beasts, nor has abominable flesh ever come into my mouth.” Then He said to me, “See, I am giving you cow dung instead of human waste, and you shall prepare your bread over it.” Moreover He said to me, “Son of man, surely I will cut off the supply of bread in Jerusalem; they shall eat bread by weight and with anxiety, and shall drink water by measure and with dread, that they may lack bread and water, and be dismayed with one another, and waste away because of their iniquity. Hallelujah!

Ezekiel chapter 5. “And you, son of man, take a sharp sword, take it as a barber’s razor, and pass it over your head and your beard; then take scales to weigh and divide the hair. You shall burn with fire one-third in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are finished; then you shall take one-third and strike around it with the sword, and one-third you shall scatter in the wind: I will draw out a sword after them. You shall also take a small number of them and bind them in the edge of your garment. Then take some of them again and throw them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire. From there a fire will go out into all the house of Israel. “Thus says the Lord God: ‘This is Jerusalem; I have set her in the midst of the nations and the countries all around her. She has rebelled against My judgments by doing wickedness more than the nations, and against My statutes more than the countries that are all around her; for they have refused My judgments, and they have not walked in My statutes.’ Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Because you have multiplied disobedience more than the nations that are all around you, have not walked in My statutes nor kept My judgments, nor even done according to the judgments of the nations that are all around you’ therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Indeed I, even I, am against you and will execute judgments in your midst in the sight of the nations. And I will do among you what I have never done, and the like of which I will never do again, because of all your abominations. Therefore fathers shall eat their sons in your midst, and sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments among you, and all of you who remain I will scatter to all the winds. ‘Therefore, as I live,’ says the Lord God, ‘surely, because you have defiled My sanctuary with all your detestable things and with all your abominations, therefore I will also diminish you; My eye will not spare, nor will I have any pity. One-third of you shall die of the pestilence, and be consumed with famine in your midst; and one-third shall fall by the sword all around you; and I will scatter another third to all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them. ‘Thus shall My anger be spent, and I will cause My fury to rest upon them, and I will be avenged; and they shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken it in My zeal, when I have spent My fury upon them. Moreover I will make you a waste and a reproach among the nations that are all around you, in the sight of all who pass by. ‘So it shall be a reproach, a taunt, a lesson, and an astonishment to the nations that are all around you, when I execute judgments among you in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I, the Lord, have spoken. When I send against them the terrible arrows of famine which shall be for destruction, which I will send to destroy you, I will increase the famine upon you and cut off your supply of bread. So I will send against you famine and wild beasts, and they will bereave you. Pestilence and blood shall pass through you, and I will bring the sword against you. I, the Lord, have spoken.’ hallelujah!

Ezekiel chapter 6, “Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them, Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying: and say, ‘O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God! Thus says the Lord God to the mountains, to the hills, to the ravines, and to the valleys: “Indeed I, even I, will bring a sword against you, and I will destroy your high places. Then your altars shall be desolate, your incense altars shall be broken, and I will cast down your slain men before your idols. And I will lay the corpses of the children of Israel before their idols, and I will scatter your bones all around your altars. In all your dwelling places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate, so that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, your idols may be broken and made to cease, your incense altars may be cut down, and your works may be abolished. The slain shall fall in your midst, and you shall know that I am the Lord. “Yet I will leave a remnant, so that you may have some who escape the sword among the nations, when you are scattered through the countries. Then those of you who escape will remember Me among the nations where they are carried captive, because I was crushed by their adulterous heart which has departed from Me, and by their eyes which play the harlot after their idols; they will loathe themselves for the evils which they committed in all their abominations. And they shall know that I am the Lord; I have not said in vain that I would bring this calamity upon them.” ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Pound your fists and stamp your feet, and say, ‘Alas, for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! For they shall fall by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence. He who is far off shall die by the pestilence, he who is near shall fall by the sword, and he who remains and is besieged shall die by the famine. Thus will I spend My fury upon them. Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when their slain are among their idols all around their altars, on every high hill, on all the mountaintops, under every green tree, and under every thick oak, wherever they offered sweet incense to all their idols. So I will stretch out My hand against them and make the land desolate, yes, more desolate than the wilderness toward Diblah, in all their dwelling places. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.’ ” hallelujah!
