Title: I am Joseph
Description Joseph is a man who has lived through desperate and unfair years as a young man. Even in the midst of this, I became a victor by living with respect for myself and trust in myself. Joseph's faith and personality are contained in the words "I am Joseph".
?? I am your brother Joseph
Joseph was the one they sold with the intention of killing him. “I am Joseph” and “I am your brother Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt” (verse 4). No child is born without a father. Parents, children and siblings are related by blood. A blood relationship is an inseparable relationship in any case. They are brothers and sisters. Verse 1 shows how human Joseph was. “…I couldn’t control that feeling,” he said. Verse 2 says that Joseph “wasted in great mourning”. It was a loud sobbing and weeping. “If anyone does not take care of his relatives, especially his family, he has betrayed the faith and is worse than an unbeliever” (1 Timothy 25:8). . It is hypocrisy to say you believe and ignore blood relations. Am I your brother Joseph? When he saw the brothers who had committed an uncleanable sin, he said that he was the younger brother. The most spiritual is the most human.
?? I am Joseph who believes in the providence of God.
Joseph, seeing what his brothers feared, saw that you sold me here, so do not be troubled and do not be grieved, for God has sent me before you to save your life... He said that He sent them before (verses 5, 7) Providence means that all events are directed and properly arranged under God's sovereignty to accomplish God's good purpose. Joseph had eyes to see the providence of God. The reason that the brothers sold themselves and came to Egypt was not because of human emotions, but because of God's providence. So it was able to transcend human emotions. He believed that God had guided his life. He believed that he turned trials into blessings and turned evil human errors into good ones. Joseph was able to forgive his brothers because of his belief that it was the providence of God. Joseph believed in the providence of God.
?? I am Joseph, trusted by the king.
“I am Joseph” means that I am a man of absolute trust in the king. “…God made me the father of Pharaoh, and he made me lord over his whole house, and he made me ruler over all the land of Egypt” (verse 8). Joseph turned many negative things into positive opportunities. He actively faced hardship with his whole body. He nurtured dreams and faith, not anger and hatred in his heart. As home secretary, in prison, and in the state, he performed the duties entrusted to him. A boy who was sold from a foreign land became the prime minister of Egypt, the world's most powerful country. “I will make you ruler over all the land of Egypt,” he said, and took out his signet ring, put it on Joseph’s hand, and clothed him in linen cloth. They put gold chains around their necks, and they rode a cart like no other” (Genesis 41:41-43). Pharaoh delegated all authority to Joseph.
“I am Joseph” He overcame all hardships and adversities in the providence of God. As the children of God, I hope that you will win with confidence and recognition wherever you go by confidently saying “I am 0 0 0”.
