Last week we learned that we must stand up in who we are in Christ. We should never be embarrassed by where God has placed us or the occupation which God has given us to do. He knows best and has placed us exactly where we need to be. He has made Jacob and his […]
Last week we saw how God reassured Jacob that he should go to Egypt. We saw how God clearly told him to go. And we learned that God will help us in our big decisions in life too. We simply need to honor Him and seek His advice first and above all else. Unfortunately many […]
Last week we saw that we can look at how good God has been to His children in the Bible as well as to us in the past. Then when we see how good He has been, our faith can be raised and we can look forward to the future, knowing that He is in […]
Last time we saw that God is working in our lives. We might not see it when we are going through some particularly bad things in our lives, but one day we will look back and see that He is truly looking out for our best interest, just like He did with Joseph. If we […]
Last time we learned that people can change. Even if people had hurt you in the past, doesn’t mean that they do not deserve a second chance. People grow and change constantly and if they are serious about their walk with God, then they will grow spiritually and become the person that God created them […]
Last time we learned that we should keep our word. If we say that we are going to do something, we do it, if we make an appointment, we keep it, if we say we are sorry, our actions must show that we are truly sorry. We need to be people of integrity. In our […]
Last time we saw how the steward of Joseph’s house gave glory to God. He was obviously influenced by Joseph. Joseph was a true example for all of us. He gave glory to God in all situations and lived a life that drew people closer to God. We should follow his example and make a […]
Last week we learned that we cannot plan the future to the core. We cannot make sure that everything will work out as we had planned. Yes, of course we can plan and do our responsibility, but then we need to let go and let God. He knows best and He will lead the way […]
Last week we learned that we shouldn’t put off what we can do today. We should act whenever we know that there is something that we should do. Whether it is forgiving someone, or reuniting with someone, or giving someone something, or doing something for the Lord. Whatever it is, we need to do it […]
Last week we learned that God will test us in the small things before exalting us to a higher authority. He wants to make sure that we handle ourselves with excellence in the mundane everyday things in life. For if we are not to be trusted in the small things, how can He entrust us […]
Last time we saw how Joseph met his brothers again. They were clearly remorseful and tormented by what they had done to Joseph. They have lived with the guilt for more than 20 years and it still plagued them. But they were truly sorry and God used what they did for good and later on […]
God exalted Joseph to second in command in all of Egypt. Joseph didn’t have the credentials, the education or the experience for that position, but yet God ordained it to be so. And because Joseph was willing and keen to do his best and to listen to God, everything worked out great. Joseph was successful […]
Last time we saw how God lifted Joseph up from the lowest of low in prison to the second highest position in all of Egypt, the most civilized country of the ancient world. He lifted him up within minutes. But it took thirteen years of preparation for Joseph before this moment arrived. He could have […]
Last week we learned that God’s Spirit flowed so greatly through Joseph that even Pharaoh noticed it and commented on it. Joseph was so close to God that he immediately knew what Pharaoh’s dreams meant and he also knew what to do about the dreams. He didn’t hesitate or waver; he knew instantly what needed […]
Last time we learned that God’s timing is the best. At exactly the right time He would lead us and help us through situations. He would open doors when it needs to be opened and close doors when it needs to be closed. He sees the bigger picture and knows what is best for us, […]
This Easter I would like to share something out of my book “The Four Horses”. When I prayed over this year’s Easter message this is what came up for me: God ordained that Israel camp in a specific formation in the wilderness on their way to the Promised Land. The Tabernacle of God was in […]
Last week we learned that God still speaks through dreams with us. He speaks to us in various ways, but dreams are one of the ways that He does. Once you dream something that you vividly remember in detail, spend some time with God and ask Him for the interpretation or to send someone who […]
Last week Joseph showed us how close his walk was with God. He walked so close to God that he was not only confident that God will interpret Pharaoh’s dream, but that He will also give a favorable answer to Pharaoh. Joseph didn’t hesitate in declaring his faith in his Almighty God. He didn’t care […]
Last week we discussed how brave Joseph was. He was summoned out of prison to come and interpret Pharaoh’s dream. This was his chance to be free and to make a good impression. Pharaoh had the power to send him back to prison or to even execute him if he didn’t please him. So Joseph […]
Last week we saw how Joseph helped the chief butler and the chief baker of Pharaoh to interpret their dreams. The interpretation was spot on and happened exactly the way that Joseph predicted that it would. Joseph kindly asked the chief butler to remember him when he is restored to his position and that he […]
