Above the Sun

Theme: Joseph ruled from a higher realm. So can you. There comes a time in every Joseph journey when the palace is no longer the goal — presence is. Joseph’s final promotion wasn’t just about solving Pharaoh’s problem; it was about stepping into a position of divine authority with the wisdom, maturity, and purity forged through every pit and prison. But here’s the key — he wasn’t just ruling in Egypt. He was ruling above it. Joseph lived “above the sun.” In Ecclesiastes, Solomon repeatedly uses the phrase “under the sun” to describe the toil, vanity, and endless striving of the world system. But Joseph’s life reveals a different realm — a place of divine positioning where favor flows from intimacy with God, not from manipulation or compromise. Joseph wasn’t just promoted because he was talented — he was elevated because he stayed tethered to Yahweh. Living From the Secret Place Joseph’s anointing didn’t make him arrogant; it made him anchored.His power wasn’t political — it was prophet...

Theme: Identity over influence. When Joseph was brought into Pharaoh’s palace, everything around him changed—his clothes, his language, his title. But something far more powerful remained unchanged: his identity as a son. He may have looked like an Egyptian, but he still thought like a Hebrew. He was adorned like royalty, but he still carried the character forged in the pit. Joseph didn’t let the applause of Pharaoh erase the approval of God. And neither should you. In a world chasing platforms, titles, and prestige, this pillar is a holy interruption. You are not your influence. You are not your platform. You are not your paycheck, position, or public image. You are a child of God—and that identity must remain unshaken no matter how high you rise. The temptation in the palace is to forget the journey that shaped you. To start performing instead of abiding. But Joseph never stopped interpreting dreams—not for attention, but for alignment. He never stopped listening, even when everyone ...

Theme: Joseph didn’t just save Egypt — he saved his brothers. “Forgiveness isn’t weakness. It’s what sets you free to reign.” Joseph’s story is not just one of promotion, but reconciliation. We often remember him for his dreams, his rise to power, and his prophetic administration in Egypt. But the greatest miracle of his story wasn’t his success — it was his restraint. When Joseph stood before the very brothers who betrayed him, he had the power to punish. Instead, he chose to forgive. That’s the power of the Joseph Anointing. It breaks cycles. It heals generations. It transforms betrayal into redemption. 💔 The Wound of Family Cuts the Deepest Joseph’s brothers didn’t just sell him into slavery. They stripped him of identity, inheritance, and belonging. And yet — years later — when they stood trembling before him, he wept. Not with vengeance, but with mercy. Joseph had done the hard work in the secret place. The pit, the prison, the years of silence — they didn’t harden him, they humb...

The Palace Doesn’t Define You There’s something deceptive about promotion.The moment we arrive in the palace, it’s easy to forget the process that prepared us for it.Joseph didn’t just survive Egypt — he stewarded Egypt.He was given Pharaoh’s signet ring, royal garments, authority, and respect…But he never stopped being Hebrew. That’s the core of today’s prophetic word:Promotion is not the pinnacle. Identity is. 🏛 The Test of the Palace Joseph passed the pit test, the prison test, and now he faces a greater one: Can you stand in influence and not lose your integrity? Palaces have a way of pulling people into false identity.Titles, wealth, power, favor — they test what’s underneath.But Scripture says: “He made him lord of his house and ruler of all his possessions… but the word of the Lord tested him.”(Psalm 105:21,19) God’s word tests us in obscurity…but it also tests us in opportunity. Joseph never forgot who he was. He served Egypt, but Egypt didn’t own him.And even when his brother...
