Title: Do You Want Success?
Contents :
Everyone wants to be successful. How earnestly do I or my children, or my disciples, hope and expect to succeed? So I enjoy vicarious satisfaction.
If successful, you will probably not be missing out on Joseph. Of course, this is the view we generally see rather than the view of God.
In fact, everyone who believes in Jesus is a successful person.
How many people in the world have succeeded through Jesus alone? I hope that you too will learn the secret of Joseph's success and be as successful as Joseph. Joseph, who became the prime minister of Egypt under God's guidance during his unfair prison life, became a great patriot who saved his father and 75 family members, as well as the Egyptians who had died of 7 years of famine, and kept the nation of Israel alive. The secret to Christian success is here.
Joseph was a faithful man who was loved by God and his father.
Even Jesus as a boy was a child who was loved and respected by his parents. Joseph, who was sold to the house of the Egyptian guardsman, was recognized for his faithfulness there. Sometimes God allows us to learn through failure and study life. A man must become a man recognized for his faithfulness from home or from where I am now. The only way to be accepted before God is to live a faithful life. The person who can finally be recognized in front of people is a faithful person.
I have learned to persevere in the midst of trials, injustices and loneliness.
No matter how difficult it was, no matter how sad, angry, painful, and painful it was, Joseph persevered. Why did the righteous and good Joseph suffer? This is because, if you undergo trials and refinements, you will have great character, success, and victory. In fact, Joseph's success is a lesson because he overcame the pain of hardship rather than being easy, and his success is more valuable and shining.
Joseph's success comes from trusting and relying only on God.
Joseph never doubted the promises of God's word, believed and waited. Joseph endured pain by believing in a just God who avenges his injustice without even a single word of rebellion even in the times of his brothers. Even in Potiphar's house, he saw that the Lord was with him and prospered.
After interpreting the dream of the king of Egypt, Joseph was appointed prime minister of Egypt. He put on the king's seal ring, linen clothes, and gold chains around his neck, and rode a chariot like that, and the whole crowd fell down in front of him. The king gave him the name Shabnath-barnea, and he took the daughter of the priest who had come as his wife. And no one in ancient Egypt had the highest honor, power, and wealth that could not make fun of his limbs without Joseph's permission.
