Principles for achieving destiny from the life of Joseph
Service
Genesis 37:13 – 14
Joseph started with service. If you want to fulfill destiny, you will have to start as a SERVANT and plan to end as a SERVANT. This might shock your theology, but greatness/destiny is servanthood under authority. Mark 10:42 – 43. For example, Jesus came to serve us, died for us and He ever live to make intercession for us. In other words, he is still serving us today by interceding for us. Really servant leadership is not about what we do but what we become: a servant at heart. Destiny has a lot to do with what we are becoming. What we do flows out of what we are. God’s focus is internal and with external purposes at heart, He helps us become who He made us to be.
What about King David? He started by watching over his father’s few sheep then taking food to his brothers in 1 Samuel 17:17, and was eventually made King, for the sake of God’s people Israel. Joseph also started by taking food to his brothers; he served in Potiphar’s house (Genesis 39:4), he served in prison (Genesis 39:22 – 23); and continued with service in Pharaoh’s palace (Genesis 41:46) Let us never plan to outgrow serving. Jesus said the greatest will be the servant of all. (Mark 10:43)
