Text: Genesis 39:6-23.
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
A frame–up or setup is defined as the act of falsely implicating (framing) someone in a crime by providing fabricated evidence or testimony.
Joseph was framed up by Portiphar’s wife because he refused to compromise his faith by having an illicit affair with her. Before he knew what was happening, Joseph landed in prison. He was thus punished for a crime he never committed- Genesis 39:6-23.
Daniel in Babylon also suffered from the hands of evil conspirators. When they realized that the king had a plan to promote him over and above them, they made several means to find fault in him but found none.
Since they knew Daniel was an addicted worshipper of God who prayed three times daily, they devised an official prayer trap. Out of envy, his enemies cajoled the king to issue an order and enforce it strictly. They flattered him into giving orders that for thirty days no one would be permitted to request anything from any god or from any human being except from the king.
They made the king to sign an irreversible executive order which eventually landed Daniel in the lion’s den. But God sent his angels and they shut the mouth of the lions.
The evil plans they devised eventually boomeranged against his enemies as the king gave orders to arrest all those who had accused Daniel, and he had them thrown, together with their wives and children, into the pit filled with lions. Before they even reached the bottom of the pit, the lions pounced on them and broke all their bones- Daniel 6:1-28.
Your enemies will fall into the pit they have dug against you in Jesus name.
Prayer Nugget: I come against every evil frame-up instigated against me in Jesus name.
