  5. Enjoy serving the Lord and He will give you what you want.

Follow These principles in your daily life as Joseph did and you will see the blessing of the Lord upon you. They will work in bad times or good, in hard times or when everything is great, in any part of the world or city.

Genesis 46

Here is where we see a fathers love. Look at what God says to Him:

  1. I am God, the God of your father.
  2. Don’t be afraid to go to Egypt.
  3. I will make your descendants a great nation there.
  4. I will to Egypt with you and bring you out again.
  5. Joseph will close your eyes when you die.

The Promise of a Son:

  1. Come down to Me quickly.
  2. Live in the Land of Goshen where you will be near Me.
  3. Your family, flocks and herds will also be near Me.
  4. For the next five years of hunger you and your family will not go hungry.

The Promise Of a son is fulfilled. Pharaoh and his officials heard about Joseph’s brothers and was happy and tells Joseph to have his family come to Egypt and he would give them property and they will eat the best food we have. They will be given the best of Egypt.

Jacob’s Love for Joseph never died and he was able to see the blessing of the Lord upon his family as a result.

Where Are You Today?

Follow the dream God has given you, walk in faith and live a life of love for God and for your family and you will see great blessings from the Lord upon your loved ones and they will impact the world because of you.
