YOU SHALL BE TESTED BEFORE GLORIFICATION – Part 3

MEMORIZE: “But it happened about this time, when Joseph went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the house was inside, that she caught him by his garment, saying, "Lie with me." But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran outside.".” Genesis 39:11-12.

SCRIPTURE READING: Genesis 39:7-12.

EXPOSITION:

Another example of test before glorification is Joseph. Joseph was a god-fearing person. His master’s wife fell in love with him and wanted to have canal knowledge with him. What others called “fun” Joseph called “this great wickedness”. What others called enjoyment was what Joseph called “sin against God.” The test of your faithfulness is always done while in privacy. Reuben failed this test and could not attain greatness. At the time of blessing, his father decreed: “thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch.” Genesis 49:3.

But Joseph will not fall into that trap. He ran away from sin of fornication. Though it earned him imprisonment for years, yet it was regarded as his testing time. When his time of glory comes, God remembered him, brought him out of the prison and made him the prime minister in Egypt. He lived in prosperity for the rest of his life.

You will be tested and approved before you can be promoted into glory. Men of old that we are celebrating today were all tested at one time to another and prevailed. Some who failed their test paid seriously for their failure. You may be where nobody knows you as to monitor you, but you must remember God is there with you. The fear of God in you will not let you deceive yourself. Reuben regret his foolish action later while Joseph appreciate God at the end. Don’t fail your test in the matter of sex and immorality.

PRAYER POINT:

Lord, help me to resist every sexual temptation and every trap by the heroes fell in Jesus name.

DAILY BIBLE READING IN A YEAR – 1 Samuel 8-10.
