When deliverance comes the anointing to be a redeemer comes with it.
Genesis 45:6-13
In Genesis 45:6-7 Joseph says, “For these two years the famine has been in the land, and there are still five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvesting. And God sent me before you to preserve a posterity for you in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.” What a powerful statement! ‘God sent me before you to redeem your lives, it wasn’t you, it was God!’ How many times is this repeated in the lives of people. Over and over and over again the cross comes on us. And when deliverance comes the anointing to be a redeemer comes with it. Joseph is declaring that he has tasted the cross of Christ and now God has done it by His Mighty Hand and He’s done it through His divine intervention. The whole purpose was to save Joseph’s family and preserve salvation’s path through Abraham’s linage. The truth of the cross unfolding in the lives of people has developed through the life of Joseph. Isn’t it possible that it might be unfolding in us? We should at least be asking, ‘Lord, am I living part of this pattern and never realized it. We may be stunned at the answer we hear from the Lord. What does this scripture tell you about God? What does this scripture tell you about man? Since this is God’s word what changes do I need to make in my life? Whom am I going tell or share with?
- Declare Isa 45.2-3 that in this season Jehovah will go ahead of you, make a way where there seem to be no way, deliver you from every bondage, even the legal right bondages that the enemy may lay claim to through ancestral wickedness, curses and self-inflicted bondage (Isa 49.24-26).
- Pray that the Lord will release for you treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, He will make streams flow in the desert for you.
