Say grace.
Say favor.
It means the same thing.
Grace and favor are one and the same.
In the Amplified Bible,
when the word grace appears
in the New Testament,
undeserved favor appears in parentheses.
A favor you don’t deserve.
We have to be careful today.
There are people who try
to redefine grace.
We cannot redefine an established thing.
We have no right to change
ancient landmarks.
If you do not believe me,
then believe what is written in Romans 11: 6
where grace is defined.
Grace is not something that God gives you
and that …
Let me put it this way.
Grace is not a power of attorney.
Grace produces empowerment.
Today there is a variant that says
that grace is a power of attorney.
Anyone who has spread
this has heard me preach at a conference
where I said that Jesus said
to the adulterous woman,
“Neither do I condemn you,
go, and sin no more.”
Jesus presented him with the gift of uncondemnity,
and he must be the first.
The church says stop sinning
and then it will not condemn you.
Jesus says, “I do not condemn you.
Go, sin no more. “
Therefore, the gift of uncondemnity
gave him the strength to stop sinning.
I said that many years ago.
Someone heard and turned everything around
saying that grace is a power of attorney.
Is not.
Grace produces empowerment.
Undeserved favor produces empowerment.
Grace is not a power of attorney.
Romans 11: 6 says very clearly,
“If it be by grace,
it is no more by works:
otherwise grace is not grace.”
If it is by deeds,
then it is no longer by grace,
because otherwise deeds
would no longer be deeds.
Notice that deeds are the opposite of grace.
Amen?
Grace is undeserved,
undeserved and undue favor.
The facts are based solely on merit
and human effort.
Let’s go back.
I am describing an image to
you because you must understand
that Joseph was favored
by God.
If only he depended on his beauty … The
Bible says that Joseph was beautiful.
He later tells us it was beautiful,
but he doesn’t tell us now.
Why?
Because God wants you to know
that it is not his
or your beauty that brings you the job,
the open door, or the success you want.
God wants you to know it’s a favor.
Many of us still rely on nature,
on things that block favor,
so God is not telling us
here that Joseph was beautiful,
but later,
when we will understand more easily.
Here he says that Joseph found favor
that is undeserved and undeserved,
and that he served Potiphar, who then
appointed him administrator over all that he had.
Verse 5: “And it came to pass, when the LORD
had blessed the house of Egypt, and all that he had,
that he blessed the house of the
Egyptians for Joseph’s sake.”
I’m sure your workplace
is blessed by your presence.
Your organization is
blessed to be there.
No doubt this nation is
blessed because we are here.
Amen?
We must not be a burden or against
our nation, always complaining.
Let’s be a blessing.
We are called to bless.
The one who gets the benefits
is the Egyptian.
Do not think that God
will only bless Christians.
Because of Christians, God
will bless
anyone he associates with.
That is why God does not want
you to enter into a relationship
or contract with an unbeliever
and do things
his way and compromise your
morality.
Amen?
Why? He receives your blessings,
but you receive all the bad things from him.
It’s not a good deal. Amen?
However, they will be blessed
because of you.
God blessed the
whole house of the Egyptian:
“And he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand; and
with him he did not take care of any of his things
, except the bread which he ate,”
and that means to give up control. .
Then he tells us,
“Joseph was beautiful in stature
and beautiful in appearance.”
Why? According to the following verse: And it came to pass
after these things, that his master’s wife
cast her eyes upon Joseph; and he said unto her,
Lie with me. and does not refer
to lying together.
I tell you, many people are
wondering why they are in trouble
if God makes them prosperous,
as Joseph will.
He didn’t sleep with the woman.
Listen carefully.
In fact, he opposed her advances.
In Hebrew, Joseph said,
“How can I commit gadol ra”?
Gadol means great, significant,
like the high priest.
Ra means evil.
“How can I commit this great evil?”
In Joseph’s eyes, adultery
was a great evil.
“Amen, Pastor Prince …”
That was before
the 10 commandments were given.
Moses was not even in the
form of an idea at the time.
Joseph lived long
before the 10 commandments
and called adultery a great evil.
“Pastor, I believe that every sin is great …”
Listen.
Jesus categorized sins.
He said to Pontius Pilate,
“He who has delivered me to you
has a greater sin.”
So there is a measure of sin.
Of course, one sin is enough
to send everyone to hell,
but there are different categories of sin.
If a leader is quick to anger,
he must be confronted,
but he will not lose his place in the church.
If the leader commits adultery, it
‘s a different matter.
No one can say that
sins have the same effects.
Not.
There are categories.
Amen? I’m not waiting for an amen,
but I’m telling myself amen.
I preach, brother.
Praise be to the Lord!
You need to know that.
Don’t worry, the good news is coming.
Joseph was aware of divine favor in
order to resist temptation.
He was far from his family,
no one would have found out.
In fact, if he slept with the boss’s wife, he
would have won
because he would have opened doors for him …
Amen?
He has already opened a door for her.
The physical door.
So he would have won.
Can you do some things just
to please your business partners,
or do you rely on
God’s favor?
Are you willing not to compromise,
to uphold the moral excellence
that glorifies Christ,
to do the right thing, and to
expect God to make a difference?
Then you can say you’re like Joseph.
Amen?
But if you make compromises,
cheat, work behind the scenes, lie,
then prosper and say it’s God’s favor
, know it’s not God’s favor.
Amen?
Praise be to the Lord!
You have to understand that
God wants you to be like Joseph.
That’s God’s vision for you,
but he doesn’t want you to rely on your own efforts.
Amen?
So Joseph’s problems begin because he
refuses temptation, not because he has accepted it.
If God favors me and
I do the right thing, why am I in trouble?
Then we see that Hell has no more
intense anger than that of a despised woman.
Joseph Prince, chapter 1, verse 2.
It’s not my saying, it’s Shakespeare’s.
It doesn’t even appear in the bible.
Hell has no more intense anger
than that of a despised woman.
I’m sure the Chinese have their own version.
Men do not dare to be direct with
their wives, so they speak in parables.
For example, they say,
“It’s not like I hate your nation, but I
love your mother-in-law more than mine.”
You’re not so alert in the morning …
It doesn’t matter.
A guy told his wife that and
he didn’t see her at all for 3 months.
In the fourth month he saw her very
little in the corner of his eye.
It doesn’t matter …
“7. And so it was: after these things. “
So, after these things,
God made him prosperous.
Many people are troubled
when they confess
that it is God’s righteousness
in Christ.
Well, the problem is conceived
by God as a crossroads
because Joseph is about
to go to prison.
“Is that a crossroads?” Amen?
He is to interpret the
dreams of the king’s cupbearer,
who will later tell the
king about him.
Because of the cupbearer’s confession,
Joseph will be released from prison
and Potiphar’s house
to stand before the most
powerful monarch of the time.
The world notices that after confessing
that it is God’s righteousness
in Christ, problems arise.
Why are they?
Hey, it’s still
God’s favor.
Trouble is like the ocean for the ship,
as long as the water is out of the
ship, then no problem.
You are in the middle of a trial,
but God will not
allow trouble to affect you.
You will prosper in the midst of trouble.
Give up the idea that if God
makes you prosperous then you have no trouble.
There will be trouble, but they are
like a crossroads.
It’s like you’re in a precipice and the
devil throws stones at you,
but it doesn’t hit you, so you build
a ladder out of those stones until you get out.
If the devil throws lemons,
you make lemonade.
Amen?
That’s the decent thing to do, and it should end there.
Even bad things get better.
If his brothers hadn’t been jealous of him,
they wouldn’t have sold him.
If he had not sold it,
then he would not have reached Egypt.
If he had not reached Egypt, he would not have reached
Potiphar’s house where his wife saw him.
If Potiphar’s wife had not lied,
she would not have gone to prison.
If he had not been in prison,
he would not have been available
to interpret the cupbearer’s dreams.
If he had not interpreted his dreams, he
would have remained in prison,
but things were intertwined
and he became the strongest man,
able and empowered to save his
family and many others.

Iaebeț was an ordinary person.
Not very different from us.
He did not accomplish great things.
He had no titles
next to his name.
In fact, his name
means “to cause pain.”
However, why did
God choose to honor him?
10. And Jabez called on the
God of Israel, saying
, If thou hadst blessed me
hence, and hast stretched out my hand against me, and hast given me thy hand, and hast kept me
from evil,
that I should be free from sorrow.
much EU.
You heard?
And God made it what he asked for.
Do you know what God says
about this prayer?
People say we are selfish when
we pray for health and other benefits.
God calls Jabez
more honorable (precious) in verse 9.
He was more honorable.
The word honorable is glory,
kabad in Hebrew.
He was an outstanding man and had glory.
God says that
when you pray like this,
you are more honorable than
people who do not.
Because Jabez believed
in a good God,
an extravagantly good God.
He was very brave.
He dared to ask
God to bless him,
to enlarge his boundaries,
and to protect him from evil,
and God made him have what he asked for.
Believe in God.
Can You Trust a
God Who Gave
the Best in Heaven,
the Son He Loves?
How much it must have hurt
God to give up His Son and give Him.
In whose hands?
Of glory or fame?
Not!
In the hands of shame and to be
spat on in the end, at death, for all of us.
Can we trust this God?
Did He not give us
all things with Him, free of charge?
Does he say he gave it to us?
Even though it is true that God
has given us all with Him,
that is not what the verse says, but it says,
“How will He not give it to us?”
and refers to the present and the future.
God has given us His Son.
From now on,
God will show and manifest Himself
as the great and only Giver, now,
in the future, and in eternity.
Come with confidence to the loving Father
and experience His
burning desire to bless you.
Ask with confidence,
Receive with confidence.
