The intangible wealth

“And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.” Genesis 39:2 KJV

Joseph's success, even as a slave, was not based on his physical possessions but on the intangible wealth he carried—the presence of God. Today’s text tells us that "the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man." This divine presence distinguished him, causing Potiphar to see that everything Joseph touched prospered. Though he owned no property, Joseph had something far greater: God's favor and blessing. This intangible wealth was so powerful that Potiphar entrusted all he had into Joseph’s hands, recognizing that Joseph’s success was not of human origin. Similarly, Potiphar’s wife was drawn to Joseph, not just because of his appearance, but because he carried a divine grace that made him stand out. This echoes Proverbs 10:22, "The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it."

This same intangible wealth is what Isaac bestowed upon Jacob when he blessed him, as seen in Genesis 27:37. Isaac declared to Esau that he had made Jacob lord over his brethren and sustained him with abundance, not through material means but by imparting the blessing—a divine empowerment to succeed.  When we seek God's presence, we gain access to this same intangible wealth that leads to prosperity and protection. As Psalm 1:3 says, "And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season." Likewise, Joshua 1:8 reminds us that meditating on God’s word brings success in all we do. Let us, therefore, desire this intangible wealth, for it is the source of true prosperity in every season and place.

Prophetic word: I declare over your life today, that the same intangible wealth—the presence of God—that was upon Joseph, shall rest upon you. Just as Joseph found favor in the eyes of Potiphar and prospered in everything he did, so shall the hand of God prosper everything you set your hands to do. The Lord's blessing will set you apart, unlocking doors of favor that no one can close. You will walk in supernatural wisdom, and the divine grace upon your life will attract opportunities, resources, and partnerships beyond what your natural abilities could secure. The presence of God will go with you and shield you from all harm, making you fruitful in every season. What was once a limitation will become a testimony of God's glory in your life. Amen.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your divine presence that brings true wealth and prosperity. I pray for a fresh outpouring of Your Spirit upon my life. Be with me, O Lord, just as You were with Joseph and caused all that he did to prosper. Let Your blessing rest upon me, so that I may be fruitful in all areas of my life. Remove every hindrance, and open doors of divine favor and breakthrough. Father, I desire Your presence above all else, for I know that in You is the fullness of life, peace, and prosperity. Guide me by Your Spirit, and let Your favor surround me like a shield. I declare that I will prosper in all that I do because You are with me. In Jesus' mighty name, I pray. Amen.
