Choose forgiveness over bitterness. Tell somebody, choose forgiveness over bitterness. Praise the lord. Choose forgiveness over bitterness. Genesis 50 verse 20, you meant it for evil, but God turned it for good. Hallelujah. When given the perfect opportunity to seek revenge against his the brothers who sold him into slavery. Now because he has already psyched himself or already come to the understanding that even though it physically look like the brothers told him it is God, he had nothing against them. That I believe that made it easy for him to forgive them. [01:18:20] (45 seconds)  #ChooseForgiveness Download clip

Even in prison, where he's supposed to be punished, he still remained very loyal and faithful to the point that the the prison prison war wards, you know, saw its face to put him in charge. Someone who has been accused of rape, of the high of the living commander's wife. That that's that's a high crime. But Joseph, his character, his attitude, made them put him in charge to the extent that he was able to interpret a dream a dream for those who came from the palace.

God start God started using, you know, security cameras way before we started bringing about security cameras. It's been monitoring your life. Way before we we came out with street cameras. There's nothing you understand. So whatever you are doing, God is watching. Hallelujah. God is watching. So serve faithfully where you are. Joseph did that. Recognize God's presence in pain. Amen.

So and Joseph said to his brothers, please come near to me. So they came near. Then he said, I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt. Now hear this. But now tell somebody about now. Do not therefore be agreed or angry with yourselves because you sold me here for God sent you said this for what? Because you sold me here, but God sent me before you to preserve life. You sold the brothers thought that they have sold him, but Joseph saw it differently. How do you perceive the promise of God? If you want to look at the negative side of things, then you'll be angry. You'll be bitter. It will affect your loyalty and faithfulness towards God. [01:09:06] (53 seconds)  #SeeGodAtWork Download clip

All I'm trying to say is that don't let anything take away your trust and your belief in God. And whatever you believe God has entrusted you to do, committed you to do, gifted you to do, do it faithfully, diligently, sincerely. If you are a worshiper, worship from the bottom of your heart. If you are a prayer warrior, pray sincerely. Wherever God has placed you, discharge your responsibility as if it was it is your last opportunity. Amen. Do that which God has called you to do as if it is your last opportunity. Give off your best. That's how you sustain elevation. [00:59:35] (45 seconds)  #ServeLikeItsYourLast Download clip

If you are faithful, you'll be elevated. But we don't know faithfulness. It depends on what your faithfulness is geared towards. It's about the faithfulness towards God and towards pleasing God. Hallelujah. If you are faithful towards God, everything that you do, you have God in mind. And trust in God will elevate you. God will lift you up. Praise the Lord. Just do the best you can to please god for what he has done for you. He will continue to glorify himself in your life. Hallelujah. [00:54:30] (35 seconds)  #FaithThatElevates Download clip

Now if you are employed at a job, at a workplace, and, you know, you go there with a mentality that, oh, this is what they are just paying me, just paying or whatever. And so you go not committed to the job. You may end up missing a great opportunity that will come. Because sometimes people are looking at your attitude. They're looking at your behavior. They're looking at how you handle things and all of that. So the environment may not be at the best, but you are there to do your best. Because you don't know who is watching. You don't know who is noticing you. [01:00:20] (36 seconds)  #WorkWithExcellence Download clip
