THOSE WHO REWARD EVIL FOR GOOD IN REALITY
READ Genesis 44:1-13
Genesis 44:4, KJV
"And when they were gone out of the city, and not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?"
When the steward of Joseph caught up with the sons of Israel and had them arrested, he said, "Why did you reward evil for good?" What good did Joseph did them? What evil did he accuse them of doing?
Joseph had been generous to them having discovered they are his elder brothers of so many years. To this end, he filled their sacks with food and refunded their money by putting it at their sacks' mouths. It was like this at their first visitation. The second good he did them was to take them into his own house at their second journey to entertain them lavishly with Benjamin his mother's son. He had an animal slaughtered and addressed them like friends. It was after being guests to him they left for Canaan before they were arrested and accused of having rewarded evil for good. They were accused of stealing Joseph's silver cup through which he drinks and by which he divines as his steward falsely said.
We all know this was just an accusation and a plot devised to sink them. It was never like the witness given by Joseph's steward. Benjamin was innocent of the accusation. Meanwhile, let me call your attention to how the spirit of disfavour or error works and how by it people fall from great height.
If Benjamin had stolen the cup indeed, what would have been Joseph's treatment of them all? This time around, let's say they aren't family members to Joseph but ones who have just met with the favour and sweetness of kind Joseph. Will they not all fall and be regarded as ungrateful and ones not to show generosity? That's why they themselves were discouraged and speechless when they found the silver cup in Benjamin's sack? They all rented their clothes.
May God wean you from every spirit of disfavour that may be working against you. When disfavour is programmed into a life, that person must commit an error that will toss him down from favour to disfavour. The like of which Benjamin was accused of having committed here is what they do in reality. I know people who once stole at where they shouldn't steal from. How can you be robbing your helper? How will he address and see you at the discovery of such? If you see any who acts contrarily where he has been welcomed and received as a son, it is the devil fighting him not to tarry long in favour and the benefits of being a son. I pray for you that you'll be bathed by the blood of Jesus. Wrong decision, act or speech won't proceed from your mouth that will endanger you and prove you're not seeking the peace of he that seeks your peace and does actively. May all inventions of the enemy to make any who is just or has been shown favour to be demoted. Your boss is taken new interest in you, you won't forfeit it. Is it that you're even homeless but you've found parents in some couples with bowels of compassion, may it not be said that you're the one plotting to steal their silver cup which serves a great purpose in their life and gives them joy. May they not take you in and find you harassing their children sexually. I say it won't be you. I stop bewitchment, enchantment and all incantations to send you back to the dunghill after finding favour to be raised up.
PRAYER: Lord, where I have found favour, may I not reap disfavour. I refuse to go back to the dunghill after promotion.
