KEY VERSE: “Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt” – Genesis 41:33
TEXT: Genesis 41:25-45 (KJV)
25 And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.
26 The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
27 And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.
28 This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.
29 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:
30 And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;
31 And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.
32 And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
33 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.
35 And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
36 And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.
37 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
38 And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
39 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:
40 Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.
41 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
42 And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;
43 And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.
44 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.
45 And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphnathpaaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.
DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:
Famine has been a common phenomenon in human history since the time of Abraham. Nations have experienced famines and other catastrophic events. For instance, the Great Famine of 1315- 1317 AD is recorded to have killed millions across Europe.
Pharaoh had a dream in which God graciously revealed the coming seven years of famine to be preceded by seven years of prosperity. Pharaoh looked for a man who could interpret the dream but found none until Joseph was brought to him. Guided by the Spirit of God, he interpreted the dream and became instrumental in averting the adverse effects of the famine. God used him to save the lives of millions of people in Egypt and around the world at that time.

God has placed believers across the nations to be the solution providers to the various challenges in the world. But we can only fight and crush these challenges that threaten the peace, growth, survival, and security of nations through prayer. Prayer is a powerful and irresistible weapon believers can use to bring salvation, provision, and peace to a sinful and suffering world. It has been said, “Prayer changes things.” Believers must, therefore, pray for their nation.
The Scripture urges us to pray “For kings and all who are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty” (1 Timothy 2:2). We are to pray that God will place wise, visionary and selfless men like Joseph in strategic positions in both secular and church leadership. We will witness great spiritual revival, peace, security and economic prosperity when we pray fervently and effectively for our nation.
