Where the blessed resides

Joseph was blessed of God, even when he was sold as a slave, God remained with him and continued to bless him. Genesis 39:1-6 Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there.

The LORD was with Joseph so that he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. So Potiphar left everything he had in Joseph’s care; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate.


The blessed of the Lord carries the Heavenly touch. The touch of God that rests on the blessed causes everything they touch to prosper. When Isaac sowed in famine, he reaped a hundred fold because God was with him. Psalm 1:3 talks about the blessed - That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers.


Even though Joseph was not a free man in Potiphar's house, but a slave, his presence still brought prosperity to Potiphar and his household. The blessed of God carries favour wherever he or she goes, they bring God's blessings and abundance . Paul in 2 Corinthians 6:10 re-iterates this - as sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing yet possessing all things. Like Joseph, Paul appeared to have lost all things, but because he had God and was blessed, he blessed many.


The blessed of God carry contagious blessings that affects all who receive them in love.
