JOSEPH WAS SOLD TO BE A SLAVE IN POTIPHAR’S HOUSE BUT HE INTURN BECAME A LEADER IN THE LAND OF EGYPT (A STRANGE LAND)

Some people think that they can’t make it in life, especially when situation goes worse than their expectations.

Joseph a little dreamer, the youngest among his brothers had a dream that one day no matter how the situation, that he will make it in life.

Though his brothers threaten to barrier him for not achieving his dream, God guides and protect him everyday, minutes and hour.

Joseph was born to be great, that was the will of God in him. No wonder it is often said that “Some was born with greatness, some born to achieve greatness and some born to hustle for greatness”. Greatness is something that everybody must attain; for God in his word said that you shall be the head and not the tail, which is the will of God in your life.

This was the will of God in Joseph’s life that was the reason he was able to overcome the manipulation of his brothers.

JOSEPH SOLD TO PORTIPHAR
The selling of Joseph to Potiphar marks the beginning of the journey to his success, because God can turn a situation from worse to better. Though Joseph was sold to be a slave to Portphar due to his righteousness he was made to be a master who takes care of all Potiphars property in Potiphar’s house.

JOSEPH BEING FALSELY ACCUSED BY POTIPHAR’S WIFE
The false accusation of Joseph by Potiphar’s wife marks another step to his success, because who God has blessed is blessed indeed. Though he was put in prison even in the prison God still used him in other to bless others in the prison. Joseph has a talent and the talent was “interpretation of dreams” in which God used him in revealing mighty things for the prisoners in the prison. (THE BAKER AND THE BUTLER)
Due to the talent he was given by God he was able to stand before King Pharaoh to interpret his dream, no wonder it is written that the Lord shall lift the lowly person to stand before the Kings, dine with them and also duel with them.

With your talent you shall be rewarded the position that you never expected in life, for that is the thought of God in your life, “Behold the thought I have for you is the thought of good and not of evil to give you and expected end, which shows that what so ever you are looking for in life that God is a great provider that will provide all thy needs.

JOSEPH EXALTED TO THE THRONE OF HONOUR FROM THE PRISON
Since Joseph was able to overcome the temptation from this master’s wife and he was taken to prison, God saw that the prison was not the place he kept for him and due to his talent of dreaming he was exalted from the prison to the throne of honour.


Therefore, I don’t know the place you are into now; if it is a prison you were not meant to be there, what are these prisons: Poverty, Disease, Lack of freedom etc. and the God that lifted Joseph to the throne of honour will fetch you out in that place to the throne of honour if you truly believe in him.

JOSEPH DREAM BECOMING A REALITY
I began this passage with the dream Joseph had in which he dream about his brethren bowing down to honour him. Joseph keep that dream in mine till the time he was exalted to the throne of honour and that was the time the dream which he had became a reality.


I don’t know the kind of dream you are dreaming, are you dreaming to become a President, Governor, Commissioner, Doctor, Engineer, Counsellor, an Educationist, etc. The God that nurtured the dream of Joseph to become a reality will also do it for you.

FAITH AND WORK
Joseph have faith in God who is the author and finisher of our faith that one day his dream shall come to pass, he work towards it, though they were some obstacle on the way but God clear them off and lead him to the throne of honour.


Your career is your dream and as you have faith in God, work towards it and as he clear an obstacle on the way for Joseph in other for him to be exalted to the throne of honour he will also clear it for you and you will achieve your dream and will also be exalted to that throne of honour.

GOD BLESS YOU AND BRIGHTENS YOUR FUTURE IN JESUS NAME, AMEN.
