“So Pharaoh asked his officials, “Can we find anyone else like this man so obviously filled with the spirit of God?” Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has revealed the meaning of the dreams to you, clearly no one else is as intelligent or wise as you are.”
Genesis 41:38-39 NLT
Observation:
Pharaoh and his advisors saw Joseph as filled with the Spirit of God, even though they were unbelievers. They recognized that the Spirit of God was on and in his life because nobody was as intelligent or wise as he was. His ability to interpret spiritual dreams, wisdom, and intellect demonstrated that he was filled with the Spirit of God to the leaders of Egypt.
Application:
In the Old Testament, the Spirit would come upon certain individuals at certain times to accomplish a feat for the Lord. In the New Testament, we have been filled with the Holy Spirit and He resides in us. We should have more evidence in our lives for the world to see than those who are in the world. We should be more intelligent, wise and understanding and the world should look to us for answers. We should be recognizably filled with the Spirit of God.
Prayer:
Father, baptize me in Your Spirit afresh. Let the world see something different in my life. Let my life shine for You. Let Your Spirit be recognizable in and through my life. Fill me to overflow. Let me interpret dreams, give wisdom and walk in understanding until ungodly leaders come looking for answers.
Yours Forever,
Jeff
