Exodus 1:6-10
6 Now Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation died, 7 but the Israelites were fruitful and multiplied greatly and became exceedingly numerous, so that the land was filled with them.
8 Then a new king, who did not know about Joseph, came to power in Egypt. 9 "Look," he said to his people, "the Israelites have become much too numerous for us. 10 Come, we must deal shrewdly with them or they will become even more numerous and, if war breaks out, will join our enemies, fight against us and leave the country."
As Joseph passed away, all that was known about him also passed away, where the new king of Egypt did not know of the things that Joseph did. What I got from this passage is that Joseph was not able to bring up a leader from his family to pass on influence into him so that, as he dies, he will have a disciple that will lead the people.
Something that Joseph did not do, but what Jesus did, was to bring up leaders and disciples so that, when he passes away, there will be others to take up responsibility. Just like this generations, there needs to be a passing on to the next generation for God to speak into the life of His people.
Father God, I pray for your people. I want to pray and intercede for this generation, that you may bring up leaders and shakers to move the people. I pray that your Holy Spirit do a miracle in these people, that you may be ever so present. Guide us and cover us with your anointing. I pray that you speak into the heart of this generation and the next. I know that you are to do great things, and that great things are to come, until the day that we are to see the Lord Jesus. I pray all this to glorify your name.
Amen.
