The It Factor | Herbert Cooper - Audio

Like A Boss: The IT Factor 1. The hustle factor Genesis 39:2–3  The Lord was with Joseph so that he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. 3 When his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord gave him success in everything he did, (NIV) Genesis 39:23 The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the Lord was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did. (NIV) Psalm 90:17  May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us— yes, establish the work of our hands. (NIV) Psalm 128:2 You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours. (NIV) Proverbs 14:23 All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty. (NIV) Proverbs 12:24  Work hard and become a leader; be lazy and become a slave. (NLT) Proverbs 12:24 Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in forced labor. (NIV) Proverbs 20:4 Sluggards do not plow in season; so at harvest time they look but find nothing. (NIV) Proverbs 10:4 Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth. (NIV) 2. The character factor Genesis 39:2  The Lord was with Joseph so that he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master (NIV) Genesis 39:9 No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” (NIV) Genesis 39:20–21 Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, 21 the Lord was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. (NIV) 3. The knowledge factor Genesis 39:3–4 When his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord gave him success in everything he did, 4 Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. (NIV) Genesis 39:21  the Lord was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. (NIV) Proverbs 4:7  The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. though it cost all you have, get understanding. (NIV) 4. The results factor Genesis 39:3-5 When his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord gave him success in everything he did, 4 Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. 5 From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the Lord blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph.  The blessing of the Lord was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. (NIV) Genesis 39:22–23 (NIV)  So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there. 23 The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the Lord was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did. (NIV) 5. The growth factor Proverbs 22:29 Do you see someone skilled in their work? They will serve before kings; they will not serve before officials of low rank. (NIV) Proverbs 1:5 let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance— (NIV) Proverbs 18:16 A man’s gift makes room for him, And brings him before great men. (NKJV)
