Joseph
The story about Joseph takes up almost half of the book of Genesis.
tell the story about the rivalry and the dream.
His life actually took a turn he did not ever imagine ir see coming for about 23 years.
This message is for you ...
When Life isn’t turning out the way you planned…
You may have seen your life going a certain way.
You may have had a relationship that you though would last, but didn’t.
You may have seen your career going a different way.
You may have seen your family looking different at this point in life.
If Joesph could talk to you, he would say...
Don’t give up on your dreams
Key - Don’t give up...
We all have moments where we feel like giving up, but Joseph would say, don’t give up.
Here is a guy who actually heard from God but whose life went totally different from what he thought for more than 23 years.
Joseph earned the right to jump out of the crowd to talk to us.
He has earned the right to say, I know what you are going through.
This is a serious message because many of us, at different times find our selves in the dangerous place of wanting to give up.
DON’T GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS...
1.
Even if you didn’t start off well.
Some of us didn’t start well and we are still seeing our lives through the rear view mirror.
God has forgiven you and changed you but you are still defining who you are by your past.
God doesn’t remember your sins anymore.
But you and I have an accuser, the devil and his job is to accuse you.
He will constantly remind you of your yesterday even though God has forgotten it.
A lot of people give up the journey at this point.
We think that we are just too messed up for God to ...
Joke - Parrot… hey, you the ugliest think I’ve ever seen… a month later.... you know what..
This is what the devil does.
He constantly saying… You know what...
Look at Paul.
He was ordering the murder of Christians before God forgave him and changed him.
Don’t give up even if you didn’t start well.
2.
Even if those closest don’t support you.
If you are getting negative feedback or rejection from people close to you.
Some of you are exhausted because of the rejection in your life.
We often get discouraged because of rejection in our lives.
Even Jesus experienced this…
This is the town where Jesus grew up in and it was in this town that he did very few miracles.
It’s one thing to be rejected but another to be hated.
The stories of Joseph all sound so Sunday school neat, but we are talking about Human Trafficking.
He was put into slavery by his pwn family.
3.
Even of your journey is full of surprises.
When you get a vision from God, it will never go the way you think it should have.
It never goes in a straight line.
Here are some of the events of his life after God gave him his dream.
(11)
Misunderstood by his family.
Sold into slavery to Potiphar
Lived in a strange country far from home.
Given favor in Potiphar’s house
Falsely accused by Potiphar’s wife
Thrown into prison.
Put in charge of all the prisoners
Forgotten by the Chief cup bearer.
Remained in prison 2 more years.
Interpreted Pharaoh’s dream.
Became second in command in Egypt.
go through the list and have people respond to give up or go on after each....
Here is the point.
Your life is going to look the same.
The question is what are you going to do in that moment?
How do we keep going?
The same way Joseph did.
He relied on God being with hi and giving him favor.
Lookat at this.
When our eyes are fixed in the right place, we can keep going.
4.
Even if it takes a long time to realize it.
It took 23 years to get to this point.
He was in prison more than 2 years.
Here he is in Pharaoh’s court and he interprets the dream and everything happens the way he said and he saved the day… he was the hero of Egypt.
That’s the fun part of the story, but what do you do in the middle when you are cleaning up the slop?
If it seems slow, don’t give up… just be patient.
God is always working patience in our lives because He is more interested in our character than our comfort.
FINAL WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT
Focus on what happens in you and not to you.
Since God is working in you, you have a role of how fast this goes.
Instead of praying for God to make this goe away, ask what are you teaching me.
What do you want me to learn.
When we learn it, we get to move on.
It’s so easy to get mad and blame other people… but we need to focus on what God is teaching us.
Your response to offense determines your future.
Joesph has the chance to get revenge on his brothers.
They did not know who he was, but he knew them.
He could have wiped them out.
But he didn’t.
This is where a lot of us get derailed.
We hold into resentment and it will destroy your dreams.
It’s not work it.
Travel light.
Get rid of that offense.
Joseph revealed who he was and the first thing they said was… don’t kill us.
Here is his response.
Joseph wanted to take them out but he realized that God used for good.
Every dream has tough times, but remember God is always with you.
You will not always feel this but he is with you.
He is there.
