Shared Blessings

Genesis 45:8

So now it was not you that sent me hither, here, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.


Joseph, a dreamer and interpreter of his and others dreams, truly blessed those he came in contact with.
He went through many bad situations until he was blessed by God to be delivered out of them all:

1. Joseph brothers dropped him in a deep whole out in a field after finding them, as his father requested.
    They were jealous of him because his dream call for them to worship him.

2. Because he resisted the sensual attack of Potiphar's wife and she lied on Joseph, accusing him of attacking her, he was thrown into prison.

3. He also interpreted dreams in prison but no one seemed to remember this when Joseph's dreams came  true.


Joseph's Gifts make room for him - Genesis 41:37-40

Joseph was left in prison for many years until King Pharaoh had a dream and no one around could interpret it. It was then that the Baker remembered Joseph in prison.  His blessings of interpretation brought him to great fame in the eye of the King.  God restored unto him all that the locusts had taken away. He was blessed and highly favored by all.


Like Joseph let's forgive those who have mistreated us in unfavorable situations. Let's continue to pray for and share our blessings with them.



Until we meet again soon.
