I am studying the book of Genesis and I am going to share with you a few things from the story of Joseph.
Joseph’s brothers sold him into slavery after the fact that they wanted to murder him.
He was placed in a pit.
He was placed in a dungeon. (Prison)
But he rose from there to be governor over Egypt.
His brothers meant evil against him because he was loved, and because of his dreams.
Here are the lessons from Joseph’s story;
When God’s anointing is on your life, no evil can prevail over you.
You are blessed and God prospers you wherever you are.
You are favored in prison and out of prison.
God blesses your surrounding because you are there. Potiphar’s house was blessed because Joseph was in it.
God shows mercy and favor on you that is evident.
Joseph said to his brothers in Genesis 45:7
God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity (remnant) in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
Your prison might feel like an eternity of struggle and suffering. It might feel like a very desolate place but God has placed you in some hard places so that he can use you for His purpose.
Your hard place is the preparation place.
Trust God.
