But until a prophetic Word is received, it never gets fulfilled – 2 Pet. 1:19-21/ Luk. 8:11/15/ Mak. 4:30-32
Every prophetic word received keeps us on the go – 1 Cor. 9:24-27/ Hab. 2:1-3
Every prophetic word received alleys fears – Exo. 14:15/ Psa. 114:1-8

Joseph exhibited a lifestyle of Joy, the circumstances surrounding him notwithstanding – Gen. 40:1-7/20-22
But he saw prophecy fulfilled in grand styles as he became the ‘wonder ‘prime minster of Egypt by the hand pf God which was provoked by praise – Gen. 41:9-16/37-45/ Exo. 15:11
