Joseph Prince

You shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near to me, you and your children, your children’s children, your flocks and your herds, and all that you have. There I will provide for you…—Genesis 45:10–11

In the Old Testament story of Joseph, after he revealed himself to his brothers, he told them to “dwell in the land of Goshen”. And “Goshen” means “drawing near”. Your heavenly Joseph—Jesus—wants you to be in a place of nearness to Him. God is not a God who is distant and far away. He is a God who never leaves you nor forsakes you, and He wants you to come and talk to Him about anything and everything.

Do you know what happens when you draw near to Him? Like how Joseph’s brothers were provided for in the land of Goshen, you will receive abundant provisions and protection! Beloved, even in the midst of a financial famine or perilous circumstances, there is safety and protection for you. Draw near to Jesus, and no plague, no evil and no danger can come close to you and your dwelling place because you are safe in the secret place of the Most High. Amen!
