DCLM Sincere Milk 15 September 2022 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — What God is about to do
TOPIC: WHAT GOD IS ABOUT TO DO
TEXT: GENESIS 41:28-33
29Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:
30And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;
31And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.
32And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
33Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
Key Verse: “This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh” (Genesis 41:28).
MESSAGE:
Nothing is hidden from the Almighty God. He knows everything and sees the future and shows us the right path to take. He reveals things to come.
In our Bible passage, King Pharaoh had a dream, he did not know the meaning and nobody was able to explain it to him. This troubled his mind a great deal. But Joseph was able to interpret the dream through the special gift God gave him.
In the dream, God told Pharaoh what would happen in the future. Knowing the meaning of the dream was not enough, so God gave Joseph the wisdom to advise King Pharaoh on what to do to prepare ahead for the things that was about to happen.

One of the reasons that God has given us the Bible is to help us to understand His word, know Him better and enlighten us about the future. The knowledge and study of the Bible has helped a lot of people to overcome the fear of the future. They are also able to understand the meaning of things happening in present times. Moreover, so many have found forgiveness of sin and new life through Jesus Christ.
Each time you read a passage of the Bible, believe that God is personally speaking to you. The Bible has revealed that Jesus will soon come to take His people with Him to heaven. You need to diligently follow all the instructions of the Bible. As you obey His word, you will be guided on the right path and you will not go astray. You will also be prepared to go with Him to heaven.
Prayer: Dear Father, You are the all-knowing God. Please lead me in the right path.

2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
