My Dream Job | Sunday Morning Service | Pastor Carpenter

have your Bibles would stand with me today um I don't know if I get in trouble for telling this or not but shortly after I was elected superintendent of the AJC it was a problem brought to me that we had one of our officials in our organization that had got a new revelation he had got a new revelation and um um about the godhead all right and he had got a new revelation of um he didn't believe three he believed two and I said well I sounds like he's not Trinity sounds like he's trity um and so when I called to set up an appointment to talk with this District official um he was very kind he was very kind to me and I told him I said um I I'd like to come and and talk to you uh about this and study the Bible with you about this and he was very kind to me but he said brother Carpenter he said um I have uh in my church a renowned Greek and Hebrew scholar and said I I would I would hate for you to come and it would probably be um I believe he Ed the word intimidating he said it would probably be a little over whing for you and intimidating for you to come and and and um have this man talk to you and I said oh no no no it wouldn't be intimidating to me uh at all I i' I'd like an opportunity to sit down got off the phone arranged the meeting got off the phone called brother Tage French and told him a situation he said i' be glad to meet you and he thank you so much he met us in that City and we walked into that room that night I took him in that room like a security guy at the airport takes a drug sniffing dog all right and when he got through in that room that night when he got through in that room that night there were those there on that table that had been misled that saw the light and saw the air of their way and I thank you Bishop French I thank you so much I thank you let it be known that the apostolic church is not against nor afraid of of education and we promote that we promote that for a few moments today I'd like to draw your attention to Genesis chapter 41 and verse number 51 and let me say U how many would like for us to give an give a invitation for brother French to come back and uh do a little teaching here it' be great you heard it and had I known that he would be here this morning um he would be here this morning amen Genesis 41:51 and Joseph called the name of the firstborn manasse for God said he hath made me forget all my toil and all my father's house and the name of the second called he Ephraim for God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my Affliction for a few moments today I want to minister the word of God on simply my dream job my dream job father I love you I thank you for the privilege to come and shout and praise you and worship worship your name I thank you for the spirit of Excellence that rests in this room with these praise singers God and these musicians I thank you Lord for the people that have a desire to come and hear your word Lord for the next few moments would you anoint my lips of clay that I may speak the Eternal Word that God somehow some way a life would be changed Jesus wonderful name we all pray amen give him a hand clap as you're being seated my dream job my dream job everything that Joseph suffered in his life from the bitter hatred of his brothers their attempted murder on his life being sold to the ishmaelite traitors being falsely accused of attempted rape of Piper's wife from serving time in prison to being forgotten about after doing a good deed God used everything about Joseph's life to prepare him for the ultimate calling that God had for him isn't that amazing that God can use everything somebody say everything God can use use everything about our lives to fulfill his purpose but there's only one thing that can derail and abort God's ultimate plan for our lives there's only there's only one thing and I want you to say one thing one thing one thing one thing there's only one thing that can derail that can abort the ultimate plan that God has for you in your your life and that is simply this you cannot serve God to the fullest of your potential if you're always living and reliving the hurts of your life there is no way that the plan can be developed there is no way that God can develop in you and I what his ultimate goal is if we choose to always live and relive the hurts that have been in into our lives now I know this going to sound like a Bible lesson for just a few moments and there'll be nothing wrong with that but by age 17 Joseph had already developed three valuable traits in his character can I tell you what you really need to work work on first and foremost is character character Talent the ability to do can come later but character has to come first we have we must have character he had three valuable traits in his character number one and I know you're all going to run the aisles over this he had a work ethic God can use the prayer line and God can use an anointed service but it's not all done in a prayer line and in an anointed service Joseph had a work ethic and I'll show you that in a moment but he also was principal driven he lived by a set of principles he lived by code of conduct Joseph wasn't one way with this crowd and another way with that crowd Joseph was a principal driven person and Joseph was a man who at 17 years old developed a work ethic developed principles in his life and he also developed a conviction against sin a conviction against sin that was not even written by God at this time the Commandments hadn't not been given from SI but Joseph had a conviction he had a conviction let's go to Genesis chapter 37 and verse number two these are the generations of Jacob Joseph being 17 years old was feeding the flock with his Brethren there's your work ethic he was feeding the flock not sitting down waiting not blaming everybody else in his life for what wasn't happening you see if you're going to really be something God can use you got to have two jobs you got to have a job and a dream job and you don't get your dream job until you're willing to work a job come on now I'm out Circle that wagon a little bit he was feeding the flock with his Brethren and the lad was with the sons of BHA and with the sons of zela his father's wives and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report Joseph wasn't a tattletale he was a man driven by principle his brothers were doing evil things and Joseph at 17 years old not only had a work ethic but he also had was principal driven and he took to his father he took to his father their evil report the Bible says now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children because he was the son of his old age and he made him a coat of many colors do you notice the order that we have here we have a work ethic we have a man of principle and then we have a coat of beautiful colors of favor you don't get the coat until you go to work the coat doesn't come first you don't get the coat until you have a work ethic and until you have some principles that guide you in your life some things that you do because it's right you don't do do it because you're in the youth group you do it because it's right you don't do it because you go to First Apostolic Church you do it because it's right because there may come a day that everybody in your youth group doesn't hold it but you've got to keep on holding it there may come a day that everybody in the church doesn't hold it Joseph had a job and Joseph had a dream job you need to have two things if you're going to go somewhere in life a job and a dream job all right now we talking about a job and a dream job well a job is something that you have that's going to get you to your dream job but you don't get your dream job if you're not faithful with your job all right I think I've got written down here today I've got several um several things uh people that met that have impressed me with their attitude very successful people that have impressed me with their attitude uh we were down in Texas some time ago and uh we uh stopped for morning breakfast at first cup come on Elijah you owe me for mentioning that today all right and uh um I I I met a man there that brother Elijah uh introduced me to and he began to tell me how that that God had used him and where he started from and and and um you know uh I think the poor guy you know he didn't start with scratch all right he he didn't he to start with scratch he didn't he didn't have anything to itch I mean he he he started with nothing all right and and he told how and he's a very successful man very very successful man and as he stood there and begin to tell me about uh the success that he had of course I was asking him I was pulling it out of him because I I just wanted to hear his success story of how uh how he started with nothing and and how God had had had blessed his life beyond means the one thing that came to him that came out of his mouth was he wanted to be blessed not to be rich but he wanted to be blessed to bless the kingdom of God he wanted to be blessed to bless the kingdom of God he told me of chances that he had taken and things that he had set out and businesses that he started that staggered and it looked like it would go under and he said you know even if it went under and he made this statement to me he said even if they had went under and I'd lost everything I would go buy me a a lawnmower and mow some yards and start back over again you know that really spoke to me about that man because some men would be too proud to go get a lawnmower and to start back over again you see any kind of work is Honorable any kind of work is Honorable am I preaching this morning I thought about my brother-in-law I got just I got a tremendous brother-in-law and U I thought about Kit Fowler that went to work at a at a company in Knoxville and went to work there just I believe a truck driver all work is Honorable but before it was over with he would be the manager of that store well how'd it happen I tell you how it happened Kip Fowler didn't live by the motto it's not my job you really want to get noticed in life on your job have the attitude that everything about this place becomes my job if there's paper in the parking lot and you're walking across the parking lot don't have the attitude it's not my job it's your job to make that company successful and nobody ought to drive up and see paper in the parking lot so it's your job Lord help me this morning he would sweep the floors waiting for them to load the trucks he would grab a broom and sweep around or straighten up the rack of piping that was there wait a minute Kip that's not your job yeah it is I'm not just going to stand here and do nothing I'll grab a broom well you know what happens after a while you'll eventually number one God notices you and God will arrange it where the right people will begin to notice you I go down I go down the list today uh what makes what I believe really makes First Apostolic Church what it is today um it's got families in it that Miss a weekend and while they miss the weekend they were visiting their family while they were away for that Sunday we took up an offering to pour the concrete for the church parking lot up on the hill word got to the Hawkins family that they received an offering last night for the parking lot up on the hill and on a Monday afternoon we would get a knock on our door and there stood sister Hawkins at our door and she Saidi heard you all took up an offering last night I heard you took up an offering last night and Ken and I don't want to be left out we want to have an investment in the house of God I'm going to tell you the people that have the attitude it's not my job would say thank God we wasn't there last night leave your checkbook in the car honey he looks like he's going to take an offering up you see you don't go very far in life when it's not your job but if you'll have the attitude hey we might have missed church yesterday but let's not miss the opportunity and you want to know why some people are blessed beyond measure today we sat there that day when we bought this property when we bought this property at the closing the real estate commission check was $150,000 that two realators were going to split the one realtor gladly received his $775,000 check as it slid across across the table but our own sister Gina Penton was our real estate agent and when that check was slid across no it wasn't slid across the table the lady doing the closing said well I I see here that there there there's they didn't make your check and she said that's right she said I'm just giving that to the church as part of an offering to the Lord come on you're not going to have your dream job until you're willing to do this job I stood with amazement as her own her son Austin is following her in her footsteps and real estate industry just look out Austin pitton on the way friend I'm going to tell you he's going to turn it he's going to turn it he is going to turn it upside down you see in our journey we have to have a work ethic in our journey we have to have some principles and in our journey we have to have we have to have some conviction and do you know in our journey and I told you I Bible study today but I just want every I want every one of you today regardless of your age I want you to have a dream job I want you to have a dream job I I I want you to be all that God wants for you I want you to become all that God want you to become and do you know that on your job you are are going to hear things you don't want to hear you're going to be asked to do things that you don't want to do proof Genesis 36 37 and verse 13 and Israel said unto Joseph do not thy Brethren do not thy Brethren feed the flock and Sheck them come and I will send thee unto them and he said to him here am I and he said to him go I pray thee see whether it be well with thy Brethren and see and well with the flocks bring me word again so he sent him out of the veil of Hein and he come to shech now let me just inject something here do you know they were already his brothers already couldn't stand him because he had dreams do you know they were already talking about him and gritting their teeth when he came in the room and turning their back back and ignoring him and doing everything they can to make Joseph's life bitter but his father said to him go check on your brethren and see how it's going and he didn't say I don't want to do that I'm I imagine he might have thought I don't want to do that but Joseph in life you will never get to the place that God has ordained for you by only doing what you want to do there are some of the greatest lessons in life that you can receive by doing what you didn't want to do and on the other side of what I didn't want to do you stand with a revelation I would have never known this if I hadn't got up and did what I didn't want to do it was there on the other side of not wanting to go check on his Brethren it was there that Joseph meets them it was there that he goes from the pit to Piper's House Prison and on he went it was there the pit Piper's house and the prison but watch all three places Joseph found something to do in all three places whatever your hand finds to do whatever your hand finds to do it doesn't say it doesn't say whatever comes to your hand don't sit on do nothing expecting something to come you got to get your hand out looking for something to do there was something he did in the pit there was something he did in Piper's house and there was something he did in the prison there was something that he did well what did he do in in the pit the Bible says that he cried out for help you see if the only thing you can do is pray for God's sake pray on church if the only thing you can do is say Lord help me then put your hands up and say Lord help me I'm telling you God will never leave you with nothing to do he goes to Piper's house he becomes a servant at Piper's house he goes to the prison he becomes a servant inside of the prison let me show you something in Psalms chapter 105 verse number 12 now church psalms 105 and verse number 12 is a chapter that declares all of the works of God it declares what God is doing and and how God was rearranging people's lives to fulfill his purpose it starts off in Psalms 105:2 and it says about Israel God says about Israel when they were but a few men in number yay very few and strangers in it when they went from one nation to another from one Kingdom to they were just bouncing around God's people he suffered no man to do them wrong yay he reproved Kings for their sakes saying touch not mine anointed and do my prophets no harm moreover he called for a famine who called for the famine God called for the famine he called for a famine upon the land he break the whole staff of bread he sent who sent God sent a man before them even Joseph who was sold for a servant whose feet they hurt with feeds and he was laid in Iron until the time that his word came the word of the Lord Tried Him the king sent and loosed him even the ruler of the people and let him go free he made him Lord in his house and ruler over all his substance to bind princes at his pleasure and to teach his Senators wisdom now God said I've already got it mapped out I'm going to break the whole staff of bread upon the land of Egypt they're depending upon bread they grow bread they have bread they're slapping themselves on the back for their ability to make bread but God said I'm going to call for a famine I'm going to break all the land but then God said I'm GNA raise up a man I'm going to send a man down you see we can put the credit for our hurt on people but maybe God allowed them to do that maybe God suffered them to do that why because Joseph I can't use you the way I want to with you just working your job I've got to move you down to Egypt and I'm sorry Joseph I'm not going to move you down first class I'm going to move you down through the pit and the point of the matter is this I don't care how I get there I know a lot of people would like to go first class i' just like to get there I want to get to the full potential of what God knows Kenneth Ray Carpenter can become I want to get to that full can Give the Lord a hand of uh praise right now I want to get to that fool so he sent a man down sold as a servant notice Verse 18 whose feet they hurt with feeds he was laid he was laid in Iron it's believe that when they put Joseph in the prison after he was lied on for a tempted rap the Piper's house after they threw him in that prison that they took and they would bind up his feet with iron pieces of iron they would tie up his feet it's believed that in tying up Joseph's feet by this scripture that Joseph carried scars around his ankles to the day that he died he carried scars it's even it's even believed that he might have even walked with a certain limp because that they had laid H they had put him in feathers but it says he was laid in Iron it's an interesting way to put that it simply means that the iron the iron begin to get into his Spirit the iron began to get in his Spirit can I tell you on your way to your dream job you may not always have the movement of freedom on the outside but Church keep the movement of freedom on the inside I may not be able to control my sickness I may not be able to control things around me but on the inside of me I've got a God who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we can think don't get discouraged because you don't have the movement that you want get it on the inside of your heart can I tell you when they went into the Tabernacle to worship God that they first had to touch brass before they touched gold they first had to touch a Brazen altar a brass altar before they touched gold too many of us today want to go right in and touch gold sometimes in life we have to learn learn how to touch brass or we have to learn how to touch iron before before we're going to touch we're going to touch the gold Joseph you have got to have iron on your feet because I am going to promote you to a place and if you don't remember where you came from you will take the glory for what I'm going to do in your life Joseph if you don't remember that you came from the pit that you came Joseph you came from the prison Joseph if you don't remember that I'm going to elevate you to a level that will blow your mind but I have got to have a man or a woman that always remembers where they came from to balance out where they are can I tell you I believe that a lot of people live far beneath their privileges in God because God can't trust you with that because you don't remember where you've come from you've got to remember that you're nothing more than a sinner Saved By The Marvelous Grace of almighty God can I tell you you've got to look at somebody in the world I don't care how Wicked the world is getting you hear your pastor this morning I don't care how vile the world is getting that could be any of us with without the grace of the almighty God I believe God's got Prosperity on the way but you're going to have to remember where you've come from you don't remember where you've come from you won't be thankful for where you're at you'll become a spoiled brat God the air conditioning in my car seat don't work God the automatic door on my dogghouse is not working I'm just being persecuted can I tell you if you God blesses you with things you ought to reminisce about a time you didn't have those some of you when's the last time you went to the gas station and even looked at how much it you just go there and Pump It Up fill it up you got you got business to do you got places to go but how many remember can I get a witness on this how many remember a time in your life life you didn't feel your car all the way up you going across town to visit your mother-in-law honey put $2 in there we'll get across town in back how many remember all those times that that that that the light bill and how many remember all that time that you had to be a little choosy going through the grocery store I'm telling you if you're living on the other side of that you ought to be praising God you ought to be worshiping God boy I thank God brother French I thank God for this building I thank God for this building but we're not going to let this building become our curse it would be a curse of God to get in this building and think that we have arrived and get up as some Churches have and said now congregation on Sunday morning to be Seeker friendly we're going to ask that there be no demonstrative worship break out now you you think does that really happen you better believe it happens because we want to be Seeker friendly we we want to be more palatable to people that come and worship with us so on Sunday morning no Outburst of we don't need Ben leye coming out of the choir we don't need little Kenny coming out doing his spin stuff we don't need people up here shaking and jumping and all that why not we did it in the house over on McGinley Street why not over in McGinley Street people would run out into the street worshiping and praising God dare we get here and do any other than what God God is great and greatly to be praised if you were a praiser when you didn't have anything how much more should you be a praiser today Joseph Joseph you don't get to wear the gold chain until you wear the iron on your feet let me Rush let me rush today Genesis 414 Joseph has been in prison now for several years Genesis 41:14 then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon and he shaved him himself and changed his reignment and came into the under Pharaoh now I I'm just going to hit this cuz I could really teach on it how you present yourself when it comes time for your big break present yourself well oh yeah when it comes time for your big break don't come in looking like a Louch don't have your shoulders all humped over looking at the ground and I'm just ain't nothing I I just you ain't nothing I'm having hard time I think I'll eat me a can of worms I think B long Square your shoulders back hey man the boss just said Park the lawnmower park the truck the boss wants to see you square your shoulders back take you a washcloth and wash the sweat off your face get in there and comb your hair and walk into his office and say I'm here what do you want man he said I'm going to see frro anybody got a razor I'm going to see Pharaoh anybody got some new clothes I can wear you may be seated Genesis 41:16 Joseph answered Pharaoh saying it is not in Me God shall give pharaoh answer of Peace Joseph witnessed about the truth Genesis 41:16 excuse me Genesis 41:16 he says that God would give you an answer and here Joseph gives him the answer he tells him what he ought to do to get through the famine he tells him all these things of building Barns and silos Joseph just spits it all out this is what you need to do seven years of plenty's coming seven years of famine coming and then Pharaoh says in Genesis 41:38 Pharaoh said unto his servants can we find such a one as this is a man in whom is the spirit of God is Pharaoh said unto Joseph for as much as God has showed thee all this there is none so discreet and wise as Thou Art Thou shalt be ruler over my house according unto Thy word shall all my people be ruled only in the throne will I be greater than thou and Pharaoh listen to him talk to him now I'm talking about the man that was hated of his brothers I'm talking about a boy that is 17 years old already has a work ethic he already has convictions and he already has principles he's now 30 years old Pharaoh said unto Joseph see I have set thee over all the land of Egypt Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand and put it upon Joseph's hand and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck and made him to ride in the second Chariot which he had and they cried before him bow the knee and made him ruler over all the land of Egypt can I tell you your day of promotion will come if you will keep God first in your life if you'll develop a work ethic if you'll develop some principles and if you will develop some conviction against sin your days going to come it's not all about iron on your feet it's not all about riding in the back of a bumpy wagon being sold as a slave there's going to be a day that God is going to balance out the injury of your feet with a gold chain around your neck but you don't get the chain of gold until you're willing to walk in the iron of your feet I was going to ask for a show of hands Joseph was an an accused criminal I don't know if they had a Patty wagon if you don't know what a Patty wagon is I just dated myself that's when the police go to get you and there's a crowd of people going with you riding the Patty wagon all right no doubt Joseph might have rode in the Patty wagon down to the prison but you see if you're willing to let God put you in Patty wagon one day you'll ride in the second Chariot behind Pharaoh but you don't ride in the second Chariot until you're able to live for God in that Patty wagon that you're falsely accused of you see I'm coming down to actually my text and I'm coming down to the close of my message today but Joseph had some things happen in his life he had some hurts that would happen but he endured the ankles he endured the prison he endured being falsely accused he endured the Temptation Of poyer's Wife and he married a woman and when he married the woman she became pregnant and their firstborn boy was born and when he looked into the eyes of that boy he said I'm going to call your name manasse for God for God I'm going to call your name I'm going to call your name manasse for God for God look at that 4151 for a moment Joseph called his name manasse for God said he hath made me forget all the toil in my father's house God hath made me forget God has produced inside of me an ability to forget the hurt to forget the wrong can I tell you there is nothing like a church that preaches the doctrine of repentance the forgiveness of sin because only God can take care of the memory and the hurt that is associated with the memory Joseph said God has for has caused me to forget all my wrong all the wrong my brothers did God has caused me to forget I'm not living in that anymore I'm not reliving that anymore it's not controlling my thoughts of the morning it's not controlling my thoughts all day long God has made me to forget the iron on my feet the wrong that I was done and even the wrong that happened in my brother in My Father's House sometime later Joseph is blessed with his second son when the second son is born he said I will call his name Ephraim for God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of mine affliction can I tell you you don't get the blessings of fruitfulness until you have lived in the blessings of being forgetful nobody gets blessed of God living in Revenge you hear me nobody gets blessed of God living in Revenge well you don't know what they did I do know a God that can use it you don't know what they said I do know a God that can use it you don't know what's been done to me I do know a God that can use it you can't live your life in Revenge I'm telling you God would like to heal some situations yes even in this church God would like to heal some situations but it'll never happen until you let God cause you to forget it'll never happen you you're not going to get fruitfulness and until you first learn the blessing of forgetting it's my dream job it's my dream job would you pray with me for just a moment could we just take a moment and pray right now all over this building lift up your voice our musicians will come let's lift up your voice right now in the name of the Lord Jesus today oh God I I I I I pray right now Lord there's hurts all over this place God oh God there's people Lord that have live their life in one one cycle of Revenge around the other God there's people Lord that are living far far far beneath their privilege with you today God they're laboring Lord without Joy they're laboring without peace they're laboring without purpose Lord and God as their Pastor I'm fearful that eventually they'll lose out with you and Fall Out Among the way oh God this morning oh God this morning Joseph is second in command the end of every day when the Secret Service take Joseph to his house the end of every day sister Yates when Joseph sits down to the finest meal that could be made he's the vice president he walks into the finest house he wears the finest of clothes I can see him go over by the dresser and take the gold chain and take it off and lay it down but I seem him setting down possibly to remove the finest the finest the finest sandals that Egypt could make and I see a tear drip down his face he didn't cry when he laid the gold chain the gold chain was the memory of the day he was promoted but as he sits down in a chair to take his sandal off his hands brush across an old scar and he goes back to a dark damp dungeon where the iron cut in to his feet and I believe it's there that he began to say thank you God for Ephraim thank you God that you've made me fruitful in the land of my Affliction thank you God you've made me fruitful God thank you God you took those things and you turned them around I close with this few years later Ephraim and manasse were probably some somewhere around 4 to 6 years old word comes to Joseph Jacob's about to die your daddy's about to die Joseph goes down to see his father Jacob and um like a good like a good father would do I think I know what would cheer up Pepa I think I know what would cheer up Pap off grandbabies go with me come on come on Ephraim come on manasse go with me he took ephra and manasse in the room with him and evidently the little boys were scared it their Papa was laying there on the bed he was weak in his body and the Bible tells us that the Ephraim and Manasseh got around Joseph's legs got around his knees Jacob got up in the bed leaned up he motioned for the little boys because he was going to put a blessing upon them the blessing was so important because it was carried on from generation to generation the right hand of Jacob was to go on the head of manasse that's proper you put you the the firstborn gets the right hand Ephraim the second one would get the left hand something happened when he pulled the little boys out from his between his legs his daddy takes his right hand it's in the Bible his daddy takes his right hand and he moves it across and he lays it upon Ephraim he takes his left hand and he lays it across he takes his left hand and he puts it on manasse the firstborn and he begins to bless and I don't know if you can see it or not but it forms a cross and Jacob just goes and he starts putting the blessing he starts putting the blessing on Ephraim he starts putting the blessing of God upon Ephraim Joseph looks down and he sees that's wrong that's wrong and he tries not to disrupt disrupt his dad's prayer but he gets his dad's hand the right hand and he tries to take his right hand off of Ephraim the blessing and put it back on manasse he has caused me to forget but he's praying a blessing of multiplication he's praying that God would multiply and so he's trying to move and Jacob stops and he says I know it I know it I know I should have my hand of blessing upon manasse and I've got it on ephra but this is the only thing I can get out of this God doesn't want to multiply your sorrow he wants to multiply the forgiveness and the fruitfulness of God you hear me it may be a day we stop talking about it it may be a day that God says I'm not going to multiply what happened to you I'm going to multiply oh stand with me right now come on God wants to heal this morning God wants to heal this morning come on pray with me right now God wants to heal alar workers would you come right now God wants to heal right
