Ps Simon Eng
Genesis 39:1-7
Joseph accomplished his fullest potential in life through God.
God has a plan for all of us. We have a significant purpose for our lives, ordained by God, so...
How to get to God's destination?
Firstly, We are in a preparation stage. The process of preparation has to be full, for us to fulfill our fullest potential for God.
1) Wholeheartedness towards God.
We can see that though Joseph went through many difficult circumstances, even so Joseph never gave up on God. His heart was never disappointed to God, he learnt to trust God completely.
What causes me to last to the end of the race, is the preparation of my heart.
Throughout all of his circumstances, through the entire race, his heart remained loyal to God.
*Key note* God's favour is with those who walk right with him.
a) He was righteous in what he possessed. Joseph did not steal from his master. Do we steal from others? Their time, energy, possessions? (Do we steal office supplies..) Don't take shortcuts in your job.
b) Dont engage in immoral activities. Keep your moral life intact before God.
There is spiritual warfare involved even in the seemingly harmless things we do. It is a vicious cycle, don't let the devil have a foothold.
*Key note* God favours the righteous. God's strength and annointing is with the righteous. God can restore our hearts, but we will bear the consequences. We reap what we sow, so don't sow the seeds of destruction.
c) Responsibilities given to me.
We must be faithful and trustworthy on everything that we handle.
Responsibility entrusted to you unveils our faithfulness or unfaithfulness.
Building better relationship. Turn your house into your home.

God was with Joseph in all that he did, because Joseph's walk was right with God.
App point:
Be wholehearted towards God.
2) Righteous living
Joseph chose righteousness as a servant, as a prisoner, as a second in command in all the kingdom.

Responsibility entrusted to you unveils our faithfulness or unfaithfulness.
The smallness of the task, unveils the bigness of our hearts.
Jesus says he who is faithful with the little, will be faithful with the much.
Honesty and integrity is proven when no one is watching.
3) Perseverance

3) Perseverance
Even as Joseph persevered through the many seasons of his life, he came out of them with a stronger faith and character.
Perseverance is the internal self-discipline of never giving up. Without self-discipline we'll never reach our goal. Go through each season, and come out stronger.

Understanding singlehood--to be or not to be
[1 Cor 7:25-38]
man has walked away from the will or desires of God (far away from God)
1) Understand that we have a choice: be content (v25,36-38)
-God is not telling us that we MUST get married/ be single (we have a choice)
3 kinds of singles: by creation, by circumstances, by choice
1.BY CREATION: gift of celibacy
-dont have the desire to get married
-very focused,high flyers.
[1 Cor 7:7]
2.BY CIRCUMSTANCES:
-right person hasnt come along yet, studying, not married
3.BY CHOICE:
-could be married if they want to but they decided not to
BAD: they may have suffered previous hurts b4.
-MOST IMPORTANTLY, they must know why they are doing it.
[Matt 19:12]
ARE YOU SINGLE BY CREATION, BY CIRCUMSTANCES, BY CHOICE?
[Philippians 4:11,13]
Be @ peace with God, no matter what happened.
[Psalms 118:24]
- If we're not whole now, we will see difficulties in our marriage one day.
-to understand why we are where we are.
2)Understand singlehood has its benefits: Be devoted (v26-35)
(a)Singles can easier deal with catastrophes (v26-28)
[Prov 21:9,25:24]
-Are you ready to go thru e problems of marriage?
CRISIS: one crisis is seeing Christ-less ppl march towards Christ-less eternity.
(many ppl are gg to leave this world without coming to know God)
-the media is also playing a part in bringing ppl away from God.
(b)Singles can give a larger and greater portion of time to the Kingdom (v29-31)
-whatever we see on earth is temporary
(c) Singles can have a complete and undivided devotion to Christ (v32-35)
