Joseph`s brothers threw him into a cistern, and his cousins sold him as a slave like we see Genesis 39. There are some things we may avoid Joseph’s brothers didn`t like him very much because he used to raise much envy and jealousy in them and other people. Wherever Joseph touched and stepped was different, and everything worked out, and it used to make his brothers wrath. Once, Joseph said he dreamt about his brothers who bowed before him, and it was enough to make them outraged at who he was, one son before the last. Figure out the moment he told his brothers he saw them bowing before him. They planned the trap for Joseph and threw him into the well because of that. That`s why there are some things we shouldn`t say; we have to let it happen, be concluded. Since no one can frustrate God`s plans, for instance, Joseph`s life, which they tried to destroy, but he remained faithful in the commandments of the Lord. God was with Joseph, and that`s what matters the most.

It doesn`t matter what happens God is with you, and you have to understand that. God is God of mountains, high, lower places, but with you as well, and nothing changes. He is the God of those who live in the streets, who live in luxurious villages; He is the God of everyone. If I go through any difficulties, God will be with me while they take place.

God was with Joseph, who became prosperous. Joseph didn`t go to Egypt to be great, but to be among slaves undergoing needs and other rough conditions. However, Joseph was a different person and learned what his father taught him, which was to worship and fear the Lord. Abraham`s, Isaac`s, and Jacob`s God. He knew God was wonderful and good. Joseph heard, absorbed, and wherever he put his hands, it worked out. Thrown into the cistern, slaved, he was set at Potiphar`s house as a butler. Because of His love for Joseph, God blessed that Egyptian`s place. Lord`s blessing was on everything he had at home and in the fields. God blesses your boss, your job, and your boss’ home for loving your life. The Egyptians were one of the biggest Hebrews` chasers and enslavers, so God blessed one of them because of Joseph. Potiphar put everything under Joseph`s responsibility, who was good-looking and vigorous. That was why Potiphar`s wife flirted him. But Joseph refused that. Currently, if a man declined to have a sexual relationship with a woman, he will be called with many offensive words and mockeries for a long time, but Joseph feared God and respected his lord, Potiphar. Observe the malign trap devil made for him. Due to the refusal, the woman called Joseph as an abuser. Joseph never sinned against God; he preferred to deny and refuse to give in that woman`s wish, to have a sexual relationship with her and face everything else. He knew that while he was faithful for God, He would be with him, and he was also aware that God never fails. God is with us, and He is different from whomever you have met before and will still meet. Joseph got to know that while he was in prison, he kept faithful. Because of Potiphar`s wife, he was thrown into prison again and there God remained using Joseph because God`s plans wouldn`t end up that way in his life. God also tells that His plans for your life won`t end up in prison, besides suffering you undergo. When drought reached Egypt, one of Pharaoh’s men, who witnessed how God used Joseph, brought him before the Pharaoh. The Pharaoh was the biggest man of his time, and God arose Joseph above him as if he were a father. The same drought reached Israel as well as his brothers. When God promises you something, He fulfills His promises. It may take longer, and you may think God abandoned you, but you have to understand you are not alone and what God says, He fulfills. Joseph`s brothers realized that because at the end, they were before him bowing the same way Joseph dreamt about because God never fails. Church, God will fulfill the dreams He provides you with in your life. He undergoes your difficulties together with you through struggles, and He is ready to bless your life and provide you with victories. You have to remain faithful and obey Him because wherever you go God will be with you in order to bless, prosper, prepare your path and in the end that is what matters the most. God will provide the end in your favor.
