way amen and he continues to do it for the glory of god i'm so excited church to have this opportunity to continue our series the tokens of a triumphant life and with that being said let's go to the book of genesis chapter number 41. genesis chapter number 41 it is there that the holy spirit is highlighted for us this context beginning with verse number 33. your bible should read now therefore let pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise and set him over the land of egypt and let pharaoh do this and let him appoint officers over the land and take up the fifth part of the land of egypt in the seven plenteous years and let them gather all the food of those good years that come and lay up corn under the hand of pharaoh and let them keep food in the cities and that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine which shall be in the land of egypt that the land does not perish through the famine and the thing was good in the eyes of pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants and pharaoh said unto his servants can we find such a one as this is a man in whom the spirit of god is and pharaoh said unto joseph for as much as god has showed you all this there is none so discreet and wise as you are you shall be over my house and according unto your word shall all my people be ruled only in the throne shall i be greater than you and pharaoh said unto joseph see i have set you over all the land of egypt and pharaoh took off his ring from his hand and put upon put it upon joseph's hand and raid him investors of fine linen and put a gold chain about his neck and he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had and they cried unto him bow the knee and he made him ruler over all the land of egypt and pharaoh said unto joseph i am pharaoh and without you shall no man lift up his hand or foot in the land of egypt and pharaoh called joseph's name zofnath paania and he gave him to wife asanath the daughter of potiphara priest of neon and joseph went out over all the land of egypt and joseph was 30 years old when he stood before pharaoh king of egypt and joseph went out from the presence of pharaoh and went throughout all the land of egypt you may be seated in the lord's church several years ago it was reported that a little boy suffered injury while in school and the injury so was so severe that he broke his nose his parents rushed to the school got him out of school and immediately rushed him to the local clinic to receive medical attention they got him home and noticed that his spirit was low so his parents decided to take him to the zoo try to lift up his spirit and when they got him at the zoo they paid the fair and they allowed him to be first to go through the turnstile of the zoo little boy went through the turn style and as soon as he went through the turnstile he was immediately surrounded by the new york press zoo officials and photographers unbeknownst to the little boy when he went through the turn style he was the 100th millionth visitor to the zoo and he was awarded all privileges of access to the new york zoolog zoological society strangely enough ladies and gentlemen that little boy received privilege through the process of pain he got privilege courtesy of a broken nose ladies and gentlemen god has so much power that god can place you in a place of privilege even have even if you gotta go through the path of pain i know that little boy is not the only one that can testify several of you in here that can testify that people see you in your glory but they don't know your story you look like you got it all together now but if they got a taste of what you went through to get to where you are that everything that looks like privilege sometimes designed for a route of pain you got to be careful how you want folks privilege because you may be asking for their pain you got to be careful how you covet what belongs to other people because if you want their privilege you may have to be subjected to their pain such as the discipline discovered in the discourse of genesis chapter 41 joseph ladies and gentlemen has reached a place of privilege through the path of pain joseph didn't have everything that he should have had and what he is in doesn't reflect what he's been through what he's been through is uh trumped up charges of rape wrongful incarceration being uh displaced by the people he called family this has been a path of pain only to arrive in chapter 41 at a place of privilege i don't know who i'm talking to but if you be honest uh your degree didn't get you to where you are your hookups didn't get you to where you are your sorority or your fraternity didn't get you to where you are you went through a bad path to get to a good place that's the power of god that god can use the wrong path to get you to the right place come here ladies and gentlemen you and i need to investigate this because chapter 41 is now joseph's place of privilege but you will note that we cannot properly get to the place of privilege until we investigate the path of pain it's in verse 1 of genesis 41. here's what it says two full years later i'm gonna try one more time two full years later joseph is now about to experience a transition courtesy of pharaoh's dream two full years later pharaoh dreamed two dreams that nobody in his egyptian council could interpret or explain his first dream is in verses one through four where he dreamed about seven fat kind k-i-n-e which is an old word that means cattle seven fat cattle and seven lean cattle and in that dream the seven lean cattle ate up the seven fat cattle that was his first dream second dream comes in verses five through seven where he dreamed about seven lean ears of corn and seven full ears of corn and in that dream the seven lean ears of corn devoured the seven full years of corn that's the revelation verses 25 through 32 joseph comes to give the interpretation joseph says then these verses of 25 through 32 that the seven fat kind and the seven full ears represent seven years of plenty and the seven lean cattle and the seven thin ears of corn represent seven years of famine the revelation was that these were seven cattle and seven corn the interpretation was that the seven years of plenty would be devoured by seven years of famine that's the interpretation the application then now comes by joseph recommending to pharaoh that you need somebody as a head of the department of agriculture that has economic wisdom that can learn how to manage in this situation because you don't need somebody who's got faith to change god's will you need somebody who's got faith to adjust in god's will there will be no prayer and fasting to try to get god to change his mind there will be no seven days of consecration and convocation to try to get god to change his mind there will be no late night prayer and no early morning 6 a.m prayer to get god to change his mind faith ladies and gentlemen is not always used against god's will it's used to adjust to god's will i knew you weren't going to say nothing because you didn't found out the hard way you've been praying to god for months for god to change things and god has not changed you know why because your faith does not bully god you ain't got faith to tell god what to do you don't have faith to tell god how to do it you don't have faith to make god adjust to your preference can i get you to help me understand this faith pleases god not runs god joseph says no no we ain't having no prayer meeting it is what it is there will be seven years of plenty and seven years of famine and you need somebody who is the head of department of agriculture who will set up a plan to make sure that in the years of plenty that we store up enough for the years of famine well let me give you token number four since you act like i'm not preaching to you token number four ladies and gentlemen is simply this write it down what if you're going to live a triumphant life you have got to save in the surplus so you can survive in the shortage preach toler you can't get your little stimulus check and run all over the country you can't get your little two dollars and go stand in the line at the gucci store when that has no value added to it when you get surplus you've got to save in the surplus so you can survive in the shortage you are not broke cause you ain't had money you broke cause when you did have money you splurged and didn't do right by it [Applause] [Applause] here's token number four let me give it to you again save in the surplus so that you can survive in the shortage what y'all forgot is god just isn't the god of the surplus the devil is not sending the famine god is sending the famine and we're not changing god's will away we're going to learn how to be economically wise in the surplus so that we can survive in the shortage i knew you wasn't going to say nothing let me tell you why let me tell you why you don't have to worry about it because when you save in the surplus you ain't got to keep pressuring god for a miracle [Applause] see when you irresponsible with your stuff now you want to put all this pressure on god and when god doesn't come through you either ready to quit christianity or go find you another church the devil is a lie god has set a shortage to make some of y'all be more responsible with your money now say amen to that god sends certain circumstances to make you more responsible and stop trying to pressure him with your faith because sometimes when you just use common sense you don't have to live from miracle to miracle i'm talking good you ain't got to say nothing i know you don't want to say nothing to that i said when you use common sense you don't have to keep living from miracle to miracle save in the surplus so you can survive in the shortage that's token number four if you want to live a triumphant life but y'all notice church two years later pharaoh has a dream nobody can interpret and two years later marv the bible says that the butler who forgot him two years ago remembers him and recommends to pharaoh you don't have anybody in your circle that can interpret this dream i was in jail with a cat who is a master dream interpreter go get him consult with him and let him interpret your dream y'all don't know when to get happy joe comes and gives interpretation and application to the revelation of the dream y'all missed it two years later the same guy who forgot about him two years ago remembers him two years later okay come here for a second the first thing this texas tailored to teach us y'all is that a dream got joseph taken down and a dream got joseph taken up god has a way of using the same thing that took you down to reverse your whole life and bring you back up and the very thing people thought was going to be the end of you it's the very thing that's gonna be the beginning of the next season of your life if a dream can do it a dream can bring you back up but that ain't the blessing that ain't the blessing ben harris here's the blessing the blessing is god's timing let the church say god's timing ladies and gentlemen god genesis chapter 41 explains the legitimacy of why sometimes you're forgotten sometimes carol watson you're forgotten because god doesn't have you in prison he got you in preservation [Applause] cause god has to schedule the right crisis that makes your gift necessary [Applause] and when he schedules the right crisis that makes your gift necessary he just got you on layaway till you need it i ain't preaching to everybody because some of y'all are operating in your gift but i got some people in the bullpen who are waiting on god to raise you up ladies and gentlemen you got to stay where god got you until the right crisis comes that puts your gift in demand [Applause] wait a minute wait a minute jackson here it is and when the right crisis comes you may be needed by a king instead of a butler [Applause] okay some of y'all complained that you got neglected by butlers when really you needed by a king [Applause] so it's no need of you tripping about who forgot you because when you get called up you're gonna be called above the people who forgot you [Applause] do i got anybody in here that will testify when it's your turn you're going to be on a higher level than you was at the level you were forgotten [Applause] would you encourage your neighbor and tell your neighbor neighbor stop crying about butlers because you are going to be needed by kings stop complaining about folk on a lower level when you gonna go to a higher level whenever god decides to raise you up [Applause] i don't know whose point this is sure informant but you king material and when you king material you can't have a butler's mentality [Applause] i wish i had some people who ain't arrogant you just confident i'm the head and not the tail i'm above and not beneath i'm the lender and not the borrower and i'm not gonna lower myself to butler-minded people just because i got a king's mentality you got neglected by butlers because your gift was always for kings and if you are uncomfortable with my confidence that's your problem if you don't like that i like me [Applause] that's your problem i make a recommendation why don't you stay close to me so i can rub off on you because you need an ego booster yourself you need a confidence booster yourself that you cannot allow yourself to be demoted mentally to butler level when you are already king necessity you really wasn't neglected you was actually preserved because the right crisis lanine hadn't happened yet that necessitates your gift but your gift was always on another level this is such an uncomfortable sermon for some of y'all i see it in your face i'm sorry i see it in your eyes i can't see your face cause many of you watching me and hearing me you have let low-minded people lower you the devil is alive your gift was designed for kings so you stopped complaining that butler's neglected you because really kings need you wait a minute he gets pulled out of prison for the same thing that put him in prison a dream he interprets the king's dream y'all and the key and he says to the king hey king you need a guy who is wise and discreet whom the spirit of the lord is in to set up a plan watch this that's going to help you survive in the shortage he said you need a man that's wise and discreet that's personality he said you need to set him over the land that's responsibility he said they need a plan to be able to save food in this in the surplus that's that's strategy he said you need a man that's got good personality responsibility and strategy preach totally morgan i'm talking good in here you ain't gonna say nothing to me i preached it myself he said you need somebody that's got strategy responsibility and personality joseph is telling pharaoh that pharaoh looks back at joseph and says hey guy i see all that in you lord i'ma try this one more time joe telling this cat hey man you need somebody who's wise discreet responsible and got strategy pharaoh looks back and said man i see all that in you you're our guy you're the one hold on y'all stop for me pharaoh sees wisdom discretion responsibility personality and strategy in a prisoner on that side of the church let me talk to these people here pharaoh looks at a prisoner and says sir i see wisdom discretion responsibility strategy in you and you a prisoner y'all ain't keeping notes so let's keep notes here it is deandre pharaoh sees wisdom and discretion and strategy and responsibility in a guy who's been displaced by his family he'd been in jail for three years over a crime he didn't commit and he's been neglected by a butler and after all that there's still some good in him lord have mercy let me shout myself ladies and gentlemen if you've been through a bad situation and you didn't come out a bad person the miracle is there is something still good in you it don't matter what you've been through god still got some purpose for your life you've been through divorce but you still material to still marry again you lost the job but you still good for the next job and ladies and gentlemen this is god's word for you you are still somebody else's solution even when you got your own problems do i got somebody that will testify no matter what i've been through i'm somebody's answer i'm somebody's solution despite what i've been through just cause i'm in a prison don't mean i'm not worth anything just cause i've been through hard times doesn't mean my value is worthless god's word to somebody is you are still somebody's solution even when you got your own problems and don't you allow anybody to tell you that you are meaningless because of what you've been through he identifies greatness in the person on the low totem pole and when he does it shamika he gives him nomination he said man you're our guy after nomination he gives him elevation he said i'm gonna set you over my house and all of egypt and after nomination and elevation he gives him coronation he takes his ring off and puts it on joseph a raise him in the finest linden investors and gives him a coronation and jackson hears the beauty after the nomination and the election and the coronation he gives him a position here it is ruth of jackson he says despite the grandeur of your nomination and your election and your coordination you've been assigned to the second seat [Applause] they don't know how to get happy you ain't gonna be first you second you're gonna ride in the second chariot the only person that's above you is the king but you sir are gonna ride in the second seat i need to park my tent here cause some of y'all think you ain't nothing if you ain't in the first seat [Applause] but the god i serve knows how to put value in your life even when you ain't first if you in the second seat the third seat just work to seat you in because ladies and gentlemen superiority is in the first seat but the solution is in the second seat [Applause] let me park in tell you you are in the second seat to serve the first seat not sit in it [Applause] you are not in the second seat to replace the first seat you got to be faithful in the seat you in lord have mercy today because culture makes you think if you ain't the first you are uneffective ladies and gentlemen joseph is in the second seat and all of egypt survives the famine because of the guy in the second seat now those of you in the second seat can't be in the second seat smiling at the person in the first seat and complaining about what they do later behind their back i can't get no help here if you in the second seat you serve the first seat you don't sit in the first seat god help us to be delivered from people who can't handle the second seat you in the second seat because that's where your gift is most effective you in the second seat to make a difference in the seat you in not in somebody else's seat you got to be careful who's second because that'll be the one that'll stab you in the back that'll be the one that'll betray you the person in the second seat got to have wisdom discretion personality responsibility and strategy you've been called to the second seat and and ride that seat proudly write it proudly because if you in the second seat you got major trust on your life if you in the second seat you are trusted beyond anybody else in the kingdom the superiority is in the first seat but the solution is in the second seat he's when when pharaoh gets done he's so impressed with joseph he gives joseph a new name he called his name zafat anya it's a hebrew it's a egyptian word that scholars translate to mean now god speaks and he lives night night church may the lord god bless you real good the first reason why joseph was in egypt was to be a man who was a light of god to unbelievers when joseph got in even the egyptian people declared god must be alive and god is speaking in this house ladies and gentlemen whatever position god puts you in you can't forget that you're in that position to make him shine whatever whatever seat god put you in god put you there because there's somebody else around you that needs to meet jesus through you and that's who we're looking for it was the man in the second seat i bid y'all farewell there's something powerful to that because we found out that the guy in the second seat was the guy who was able to bring food and bread in a starving land i bit y'all farewell the guy in the second seat was the guy who was under the king but had the king's authority still missed it the guy in the second seat is the guy whose name means god will add the new testament puts it this way there was the first adam and then there's the second adam whom the second adam came to give life and to give bread in a starving land do you all know who that was for us there is a second man in the second seat his name is jesus and he is the bread of life he says i am the bread and those who eat of me shall eat eternally have i got any help here would you help me close this message and tell your neighbor neighbor thank god for the man in the second seat if it wasn't for him we'd be dead already but he brought life to us he brought food to us he brought ministry to us have i got to win this here i feel like preaching now would you look at somebody and tell them neighbor the man in the second seat has the power of the king have i gotta win is he he's saying i and my father we are one have i gotta win this here the bible says that the man in the second seat has all power in his hand and when he functions and what he's been called to do the kingdom thrives have i got to win this here is it anybody glad that the man in the second seat has got power to raise you up y'all still missed it the guy in the second seat george was in prison but the king raised him up still sleep i said the guy in the second seat was in prison but the king raised him up okay they still missed it the king raised the second guy up after two years which means he got up out of that prison in the third year y'all still missed it he was down in that prison for two whole years and after two full years the king raised him up does that sound like somebody y'all know my jesus was in the grave for two full days and on the third day god raised him up and set him in a seat of authority right next to the king and right now he is at the throne next to the father making intercession for us have i got a witness here would y'all do me a faith and just look at somebody and tell them neighbor when god raises me up i'm going above and beyond where i am right now when cars raises me up i'm moving up the upward weight and i gotta win this here anybody glad that god doesn't make lateral moves but the god i serve makes elevating moves have i got a witness here so would you encourage your neighbor i said encourage your neighbor and tell them neighbor to be faithful over a few things and he will make you ruler over many humble yourself before the mighty hand of god that he may exalt you in due time have i got a witness here somebody celebrate that god knows how to make it turn out for your good it was a bad path that's got a good ending i said it was a bad path that's got a good ending do y'all understand what fits right there look at somebody and tell them neighbor if it's bad with a good ending then we resolve and we know that all things work together for the good of them that love the lord and are called according to his purpose if he worked it out for you giving glory if he work it out for you if he's lifted you above where you are i need you to give him praise has he lifted you up i said has he lifted you up then look at somebody and tell them babe i'm pressing on the upper boy new heights i'm gaining everything still praying as our homewood pound clean my feet on the higher ground if he's lifting you up then you all not to be sitting there just looking at me if you look at you up open your mouth and give god a high praise i said give him a high praise yeah [Music] [Music] [Applause] yay [Music] lift him up i said lift him up if he's lifting you up lift him up for the world to see lift him up cause he's been good to you you were down in a prison but god brought you back if he brought you back give him praise lock your heart at your back now let everything i said let everything i said let everything that he lifted up [Music] so here's your miracle you've been through a bad situation but you didn't come out a bad person you've been through hell but you're not a hellion [Music] there is something still good in you even after unfortunately situations there's still wisdom in you power there's still strategy in you there's still vision in you all you needed was to see a better version of yourself that's all i needed joseph saw himself on top while he was on the bottom all he needed was a better version of himself god showed you your future if god has showed you your future then the future is adjusting how you live your present you see you can't and some of you who are athletes understand you can't have athletic aspirations and treat your body any kind of way because where you see yourself in the future adjusts how you live right now see when you see a glimpse of yourself in the future you start adjusting your life to what you see but you got to be able to withstand that part of your life where your present doesn't always look like your future that's what god will do god will show you what your future look like but leave out the bad details i showed you that you're gonna be on top but i didn't tell you he was gonna have to spend time in prison on the way there i showed you you're gonna be on top but i didn't tell you all hell was gonna break loose in your life on the way there you know why god leaves out some of the details jackie because if he tell you everything you don't have to use faith so sometimes he leaves out the details because faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of stuff you don't see every time god wants to shift your life he'll leave some stuff out because see if we going to alabama and we driving you trailing me you don't know where you're going i know where i'm going you gotta stay behind me if i give you the directions you get to leave me you get to stop when you wanna you get to go any direction you want to go are y'all hearing me man that's right so god will leave out the details just to make sure you follow him because otherwise you get to do what you want to do i'm going out 75 you on 285. that ain't what i told you i told you to trust in the lord with all your heart lean not to your own directions in all of your ways acknowledge me and i'll direct your path hey god why you ain't tell me about that cause i need you to stay with me why you didn't tell me i was gonna meet this fool cause i need you to keep praying why you ain't telling me is going to close my business because i need you to understand that i will supply all your needs according to his riches in glory hey y'all ain't seen god yet hey marv i'm gonna get in trouble you security today right okay you stay right there let me tell you how good god is let me go and get in trouble god permitted a pandemic and then sent money to you from a wicked king you got you got security y'all didn't hear what i said i said god's permitted a pandemic and then sent money to your house from a wicket [Music] don't tell me god ain't good don't tell me god ain't got all power security [Applause] that's kind of god we serve god is not limited to using folk who believe in him god got all power if god can use a mule and a whale he can use people who don't even believe in him you know my boss ain't saved your boss paying your bills thank the lord everyone's standing i've been gone for two weeks y'all tolerate my talking i don't care y'all don't come to church enough no way so y'all spend time listen church i'm fully convinced oh by the way y'all like this new arrangement it's all right it's all right okay we just experimented today we're experimenting we just tried to try to make sure try something different all right y'all be cool when we leave out here too we got instructions on that too listen church this is a moment that is so sensitive because i believe somebody's gonna give it life to the lord jesus christ today i believe that i believe it there's somebody in here you've allowed your prison to define who you are your prison doesn't define who you are you can possess great qualities in bad situations there's still some good in you there's still some wisdom some discretion in you despite what you've been through all you got to do now is turn your life over to the lord allow him to rule regulate run your life allow him to be lord of your life i don't want to live this life

choose one of these options this is where we share our times and offerings ladies and gentlemen tithing is the first tenth of our income to god not a tenth the first tenth of our income to god that means that whatever god has given us as relates to income he gets 10 out of it we live off of the 90 and the bible says in malachi chapter 3 verses 10 through 12 that when we give our tithe unto the lord he will open windows of heaven and pour us out of blessing we won't have room to receive it it goes on to say he will rebuke the devourer for your sake all nations will call you blessed now let me tell you something about people who tie number one they are blessed to two tithes amen number two tithers never miss what they give [Music] because god keeps his word and makes up every shortage and number three ladies and gentlemen tithers are living proof that when you do it god's way he will make sure that you ain't got to beg to be blessed you don't have to connive to be blessed god will bless you the way he sees fit to bless you he will open a window of heaven and pour you out of blessing and if that's god's program i want to abide by it i want to be obedient to god in that area amen
