Six Things The Presence Of God Will Do For You

God is with you

Acts 7:9 And the patriarchs [Jacob's sons], boiling with envy {and} hatred {and} anger, sold Joseph into slavery in Egypt; but God was with him,

Rom 8:31 What then shall we say to [all] this? If God is for us, who [can be] against us? [Who can be our foe, if God is on our side?]

Matt 28:20 Teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you, and behold, I am with you all the days (perpetually, uniformly, and on every occasion), to the [very] close {and} consummation of the age. {Amen (so let it be).}

All scriptures above are from the Amplified Bible

There are three relationships we have with God. He is with us, in us and for us. Is this not encouraging! God is with us so no evil can come near us. He is not with us some times but all the days. According to the Amplified version, He is perpetually, uniformly and on every occasion with us till the close and consummation of the age. So far as the world has not ended, God will continue to be with us. I want you to notice six things that the presence of God will do for you. God was with Joseph and none can dispute that. The presence of God with you will make you a wonder to People! Even your enemies can not deny how richly God has blessed you, Amen. Because God was with Joseph, six things happened to him. These are located in Acts 7:10.

Acts 7:10 And delivered him from all his distressing afflictions and won him goodwill {and} favor and wisdom {and} understanding in the sight of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who made him governor over Egypt and all his house.- Amplified Bible

1.    He received deliverance from all wickedness
2.    He received goodwill
3.    He had favour before all men
4.    He received great wisdom
5.    He had excellent understanding
6.    He received promotion every where

God is with us so no wickedness can prevail against us. Wickedness is boiling around us all the time. Even those we love and trust plot evil against us. Sometimes we don’t feel safe being alive. But forget about what you feel and believe in what God is promising you. God is promising safety to those who take the decision to abide with Him. You don’t need to fast for a long time or be called to a special ministry before God will protect you. Every good parent provide shelter for their children. The child don’t have to do anything to earn that. God our father says they that HE WHO dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable {and} fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand] Ps 91:1. If you belief and accept Christ as your saviour, then God becomes a shelter and a dwelling place for you. No foe or evil would be allowed in your life if God is fully in control. If He has the keys to all the rooms in your life no evil will be permitted to stay a moment in the rooms of your marriage, business, health and all that concerns you.

The next thing the presence of God does for you is to bring you goodwill. Joseph received goodwill. Business goodwill is a valuable intangible asset. Assets are possessions and resources. God is not just with you He comes into your life with many blessings. These blessings are your valuable assets. They are your rightful inheritance because you are part of the family of Christ. You qualify to receive every promise of God. The promises of God are your goodwill in life.

The presence of God brings you favour. Favour makes you get what you think you don’t deserve. No one is a  fool. People have logical reasons for doing things. Daniel did not understand why he was promoted but the king of Persia was in his right senses when he decided to elevate him. All information reaching the king at that time indicated that Daniel deserved the promotion. God can make what is a nonsense to you become a logical point for you to be promoted. Your superiors would promote you to become like them. You may not have a first class degree or proper relevant work experience for the job you desire. But I see the favour of God causing you to be employed now. You would compete with people who qualify more than you but because God is with you, I see your winning certificate. Receive it right now in Jesus name!
