Topic: Your Destiny Won’t Be Truncated.

Memory Verse:Genesis 45:5. Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.

Bible Reading :Genesis 45:2-4. Key Verse: v4.

And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard. And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence. And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.

Joseph was a man in God’s plan for his generation for reasons himself could not explain. Early enough in his lifetime, God began to paint pictures of his future to him through dreams as to put direction to his life and keep him focused. “For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf. And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words. And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.” Genesis 37:7-9.

The more Joseph shared his dreams, the more he drew the anger of other members of the family towards himself. Even the father couldn’t understand what came over him, for him to be having such wild dreams. The brothers finally made up their mind to kill him when they felt the conditions was ripe. God used Reuben to save him and keep him in a pit before Judah talked them into selling him to Ishmealites to avoid them shedding his blood directly. They wanted him to go and perish in the hands of others instead. Little did they know that they were setting him up to fulfil destiny. “And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood? Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content. Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.” Genesis 37:26-28.

Finally Joseph passed from one hand to another till landed in Egypt, but God who gave the dreams was with him to fulfil his purpose in his life. At this point in time, Joseph had passed through God’s school of preparations in Potiphar’s house and prison and became prime minister in the land of slavery, where brothers wanted him to go and die. The brothers said they will never bow to Joseph or see God’s plan come pass in his life. But this period they were all bowing with joy anytime they met the prime minister of Egypt, without knowing that it was Joseph. The transformation was unbelievable and they couldn’t believe what their ears were hearing…. ‘I am Joseph……’. The storyline is the secret they all knew, now there was no hiding place.

Prayer : Thank you Father God for your divine purpose for my life. Today I cover my life and God given dreams with the blood of Jesus, beyond the reach of my enemies. Father by your mighty mercy, use everything around me including my enemies to usher me into your ordained plan for my life in Jesus precious name… Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : Romans 8:18-39.
