***And you shall know the truth. And the truth will set you free!!!***

Gen 47:13-26
Now there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished because of the famine. And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought; and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house. So when the money failed in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, "Give us bread, for why should we die in your presence? For the money has failed." Then Joseph said, "Give your livestock, and I will give you bread for your livestock, if the money is gone." So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses, the flocks, the cattle of the herds, and for the donkeys. Thus he fed them with bread in exchange for all their livestock that year. When that year had ended, they came to him the next year and said to him, "We will not hide from my lord that our money is gone; my lord also has our herds of livestock. There is nothing left in the sight of my lord but our bodies and our lands. Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants of Pharaoh; give us seed, that we may live and not die, that the land may not be desolate." Then Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for every man of the Egyptians sold his field, because the famine was severe upon them. So the land became Pharaoh's. And as for the people, he moved them into the cities, from one end of the borders of Egypt to the other end. Only the land of the priests he did not buy; for the priests had rations allotted to them by Pharaoh, and they ate their rations which Pharaoh gave them; therefore they did not sell their lands. Then Joseph said to the people, "Indeed I have bought you and your land this day for Pharaoh. Look, here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land. And it shall come to pass in the harvest that you shall give one-fifth to Pharaoh. Four-fifths shall be your own, as seed for the field and for your food, for those of your households and as food for your little ones." So they said, "You have saved our lives; let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants." And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt to this day, that Pharaoh should have one-fifth, except for the land of the priests only, which did not become Pharaoh's.

This is the blessing of God in times of Famine in our lives... We shld learn from this verse n be faithful in tithing n giving to God first n seek first His kingdom b4 anything else... For God is gd, He will surely give it to us even in times of crisis, For He is Jehovah Jireh!!!God Our Provider... He will surely prosper those who believe in Him... Walking with God's Principle in sowing n reaping is wat God wants us to do for His Kingdom... Cuz it is not luck, nor conincident but is Thru the Grace n Mercy of His Goodness tt we are able to reap the benefit when we sow into the Kingdom of God...

Psalms 100:1-5
A Psalm of Thanksgiving. Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands! Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing. Know that the Lord, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations.

1. Worship produces an Atmosphere!!!
Rejoice in the Lord=> Rejoice is to be happy, make merry
It is said tt Happy are the ppl whose Hearts are in the Lord...
The atmosphere is God Himself!!! U got to Draw God Presence down to create the right atmosphere to be in... The Presence of God is called the "Shekinah" glory...

It is said tt in the old testement tt the Temple of God have 3 entrance... First is the outer court where worshipper gather together n socialize together... In modern lives, it will means where we bring our fren here to church... Second is the inner court, where everyone gather together in prayer, it is the place of holy ground... It is where we enter into God's presence to worship Him... In modern lives, it will means where we enter into service n start to praise God n we know tt God's presence is there but U can't really identify it... Lastly, is the holy of holy where the tabernacle is place... It is where God's presence is the most tangible one... It is near the alter in our modern church where Pastors preach their sermons n ask for alter call... It is where God's presence is the most tangible n strongest... TT is why it must be protected n guarded...

"Worship in their hearts" Not just in the mouth... So we got to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit!!!

Thus it is becuz of the atmosphere tt it produces attitude...

2. Worships produce Attitude!!!
It is Becuz we need to have the right attitude when we come b4 God... We can't always come to God with our grocery list, always asking God to give us this n that... We got to break into God's presence when we seek Him... We got to be sensitive to wat He wants us to do n not wat He can do for us... If u recall, the Lord's prayer(Mt 6:9-13) goes...
Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
If u notice the first five sentence is abt God's will not urs... So we Got to have the right attitude when we seek God... We have to be a thankful person no matter wat the situation is like...

With the right attitude we can have authority...

3.Worship produces Authority!!!
We got to boldy declares God's Power over our lives... Cuz the power of God is greater den anything on earth...

4. Worship produces Altitude!!!
Out of authority, you can have altitude
It is becuz ur character begin to change for the better... U will have a new mindset, tongues, Spirit... It is becuz u r transform by God's Authority...
