Let examine Joseph the dreamer
The Bible reckons that Joseph was most beloved by his father, Jacob, yet hated by his own siblings. Also, Joseph struggled at home and in a foreign land. Firstly, at home, Joseph’s brothers loathed him because of the dreams he told them about. He had dreams about his brothers bowing down to him, and their father saw it as God’s prophecy for the family. Driven by envy, the brothers sold Joseph to travelling merchants, making their father believe Joseph was already dead.
Secondly, in Egypt, Joseph’s misfortunes continued as he was imprisoned because of a false accusation. Nonetheless, Joseph used God’s gifts to help the Pharaoh lead the people during a famine. In return, Joseph received his life’s greatest blessings an admirable job, a family, and, most importantly, reconciliation and reunion with his brothers and father.
I want to assure everyone that almighty God has plans for all of us, whether we may be to come together as a people, struggling accept other mistakes, struggling with hurts ans bitterness or in a foreign place. Just like with Joseph, God’s favors return to us in places and ways we least expect as long as we remain faithful to God and understand to let offenses go.
What are lessons learned by Joseph reunion with his Brothers?
You can’t get healed from offences if you keep revisiting your wounds. The past is gone, your future needs our full attention, but our past doesn’t. When a man makes some steps forward, it is called an act of courage, and courage is the root of freedom. No one has ever lived his or her life in replays, but eventually life is lived in motion.
David Versus Giant Struggles
Nearly everyone knows how David defeated Goliath with just a sling and a stone. For me, David Facing the giant was not his most significant test, however! When he was young and was to be appointed as King of Israel, David spent time evading Saul’s attempt to kill him. Despite David’s remarkable leadership, his reign was stained when he committed adultery. The consequences were severe he had to endure the death of his first child.
Beyond David’s wrongdoings, we see a Bible character who truly repented and had his words about God etched in history forever because of his faith in God despite all the struggles. At your own time you can read 2 Samuel 22:7, many may hate to acknowledge it, but we are often responsible for our own struggles. However, repenting from our sins and returning to God, as David did, is one of the best ways to demon.
Wisdom in Words
The present is the only place life happens. A man that looks backwards gets blinded going forward, and let your clarity live in the in the future, not in your past. This morning, I am speaking to your heart that letting go those who offended or hurt you isn’t forgetting but simply choosing peace over punishment. Let go, forgive those wronged you, either your family members, husband, your wife, your colleagues, or business associates.
No Driver of car, goes forward why looking back
If you keep looking behind you, you miss the the present and lock the future, its only resistance that can deepen an injury, whatever that is gone is in the past and it cannot be rewritten, I believe it’s time to accept the past and focus of the future because memories are like students who is learning from a teacher and we must now learn from our memories and move on in life.
Smart people don’t break others, but they rebuild themselves. Not everything deserves your attention or your energy, if a man wants to succeed in life he must learn what to walkway.
A man who healed alone is more dangerous, A controlled strength is power. The fear of losing what matters is the reason many fights are not settled today but take my words today that honesty matters more than comfort.
My Final words
Most people suffer in imagination than in reality. The reality is fact that can’t be hidden, the people has spoken, leaders has emerged, embrace them and let’s build something together, United we stand and divided we fall.
Thank you.
Bye for now!!!
Brother Austin C Agbakor
