MFM Daily Devotional 19 July 2024 MESSAGE

Joseph was a jolly good fellow. He was the eleventh of twelve sons in a polygamous family. He was also the toast of his father but vehemently hated by his half-brothers.

Very early in life, God showed him the blueprint of his life through a series of highly prophetic and meaningful dreams. Everyone, including his parents, his brothers and himself knew the significance of his dreams.

While he was determined to run with his dreams, his brothers were busy devising cunning acts to kill him and subsequently abort the manifestation of his dreams. They conspired against him, sold him into slavery and told their aged father that he had been killed in the forest by wild animals. Joseph, an erstwhile spoilt child experienced a great deal of hardship, denial, conspiracy and imprisonment for a sin he never committed.

However, the providential hand of God took over their plans and made it Joseph’s stepping stone to his throne of glory. Joseph was catapulted right from the prison yard straight to the palace as the first-ever Prime Minister of Egypt, Later, his brothers came to Egypt in search of food for survival due to the prevailing famine everywhere.

Unknown to them, the Joseph they had vowed never to bow for; and who they thought they had successfully discarded a long time ago, was the same man they were bowing down to in a foreign land several years after. When Joseph eventually revealed himself to them, they were afraid of what he might do to them. However, they were in for a big surprise. Especially after their father’s demise, they thought Joseph would start to avenge their past evil deeds, but he didn’t. He had forgiven them and never entertained bitterness.

“And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God? But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them” (Genesis 50:19-2).
