Is it possible to move from the dust and ash heap
positions of life to positions of influence, in point of fact, great influence,
power, wealth and fame through divine leverages? Absolutely!
Divine leverages are leverages bestowed on a person
by God for the purpose of achieving divine purposes. The Bible records in Acts
Chapter 7 verses 9 to 10 that God was with Joseph, delivered him from all his
troubles and gave him favor and wisdom in the presence of Pharaoh, the King of
Egypt. Pharaoh made Joseph governor over Egypt and all his house, that is to
say that Joseph was next to Pharaoh in the political organogram and power
sharing structure of Egypt. Please read also Genesis Chapter 41 for further
details.
Joseph was not a citizen of Egypt, had no claims to
earthly royalty, was not even a palace guard or cleaner yet he showed up at the
palace once, in point of fact, just once and he became a great power broker in
Egypt because divine leverages were working for him.
The awesome sanctifying presence of God in his life
as well as the additional leverages of favor before God and man; and wisdom to
proffer the solutions to the challenges in the land contributed to Joseph’s
spontaneous rise to political power, relevance, wealth and fame in Egypt.
Beloved, it is significant that God gave Joseph the
favor and wisdom which uplifted him in the presence of Pharaoh, the King of
Egypt who could appoint Joseph as governor over Egypt. Please remember that the
Bible records that a person’s gift makes room for him or her and brings him or
her before great people (Proverbs Chapter 18 verse 16); and a person who excels
in his or her work will stand before royalty and not unknown people. The God
given wisdom was for Joseph to excel before Pharaoh and his court in addition
to making room for Joseph before Pharaoh
and his court while favor, the divine
favor of God would catapult Joseph to a position of prominence in a land he
entered as a slave, unknown, unsung then; and later imprisoned.
God is indeed wonderful. With His divine leverages
at work in the life of any of His children, those children can rise to
positions of great influence, wealth and power in the land. Esther was an
orphan and a foreigner in Persia. Yet divine favor took her to the throne room
of Persia where alongside her cousin Mordecai, she served the divine purpose of
God in crafting a decree which countered Haman’s annihilate the Jews decree.
