GOD'S ECONOMY
Gen 47:13-17 And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very sore, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine. 14 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house. 15 And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth. 16 And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail. 17 And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year.
Joseph devised such a clever strategy that Pharaoh became richer, during the famine. Just like Laban was blessed because the blessing was on Jacob, Pharaoh was blessed because the blessing was on Joseph.
The Word of the Lord declares: Gen 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee , and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
The Word of the Lord also declares:
Prov 13:22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.
You may not realize it but if you are a citizen of the Kingdom of God, not only are you blessed, but other folk are blessed also. Your job is blessed. Your business is blessed. Your family and friends are all blessed because of you.
