Genesis 39:2 And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

When God called Joseph a prosperous man, he had nothing physically to show that he was prosperous. As at this time, Joseph was at the auction block where slaves were sold. And slaves were sold naked with nothing on. This was how Joseph looked at the auction block; and God looked at him and said, he is a prosperous man. Why was Joseph a prosperous man? It was simple: the Lord was with him.

Joseph was first a prosperous man before it showed physically in his life. And because he was prosperous, everything he did prospered. What to do to prosper comes later; you must first be a prosperous man and then what you do will prosper. Potiphar noticed that God was with Joseph. How did a Gentile fellow notice that God was with Joseph? It means that the results Joseph produced were not ordinary; and they could only be attributed to God. His results was different from every other slave in the house.

Genesis 39:3 says, And his master saw that the Lord was with him, and that the Lord made all that he did to prosper in his hand.‬‬ There is nothing like the presence of God; it makes all the difference in a man’s life. Joseph succeeded because God was with him. Even though he was in a foreign land, cut away from the embrace and love of the father, he prospered because God was with him.

Your prosperity is not dependent on men. It is all connected to God. When God is on your side, you cannot be disadvantaged in life.

And Joseph knew that God was with him. When he was tempted by Potiphar’s wife, he said, how can I do this great wickedness and sin against God? Joseph was conscious of God. And God’s presence brought distinction to him in all that he did. Joseph was different from the rest of the slaves in every where that he served; whether at Potiphar’s house or in jail, he was different; he was a man of distinction.

This fellow was so blessed till he came to the attention of Pharaoh. And at Pharaoh’s palace, he prospered and brought great deliverance to Egypt. By his wisdom, Egypt was preserved from the famine that ravaged other nations. As a new creation in Christ Jesus, you already have the presence of God. What you need to do is to take advantage of His presence. The more conscious you are of God’s presence, the more prosperous you become.
