>FAITHFULNESS IS HOW TO GET FROM STATUS QUO TO SUCCESSFUL-

Good morning, do not be upset when they remove you from where you are, God must bring you out of comfort zone to place you fully into your promise... it's strategic. You see your first calling isn't to be successful it is to be FAITHFUL TO GOD...YOUR FAITHFULNESS WILL BRING ABOUT YOUR SUCCESS! But SUCCESS can't make you faithful to your calling, the characteristic of being FAITHFUL has be in place long before success will show up. Luke 16:10-"If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won't be honest with greater responsibilities. God is a God of promotion but you will have to pass the tests in regard to your character and often there are many tests along the way and whatever you have not passed in your character you will see again, because God uses our experiences in life to be one of our greatest teachers. So when we say as believers that we are going to be the head and not tail it's going to take godly character to bring about that kind of SUCCESS!
Genesis 40:23 The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him. Forgotten by the one that he did favor but remembered by God, but what if Joseph allowed his attitude to become ugly after waiting two long years in prison would he had ever have made it to the palace? Genesis 41:1 When two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing by the Nile 9 Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “Today I am reminded of my shortcomings. 12 Now a young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard. We told him our dreams, and he interpreted them for us, giving each man the interpretation of his dream. 13 And things turned out exactly as he interpreted them to us: I was restored to my position, and the other man was impaled.” 15. Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream, and no one can interpret it. But I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.”
16 “I cannot do it,” Joseph replied to Pharaoh, “but God will give Pharaoh the answer he desires.” 33 “And now let Pharaoh look for a discerning and wise man and put him in charge of the land of Egypt. 38 So Pharaoh asked them, “Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the spirit of God?”
39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you, there is no one so discerning and wise as you. 40 You shall be in charge of my palace, and all my people are to submit to your orders. Only with respect to the throne will I be greater than you.”
