Genesis 37:4 And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
Saints, today we will meditate upon Joseph. Joseph is always placed under the similitude of Jesus. He portrayed a Jesus like character. Joseph was the eldest son of Rachel born to Israel.
Some scholars have summed up the life of Joseph as Pitted, Potted and Putted.
What is so special about Joseph life?
Joseph was a man of character amoung his brethren. He displayed qualities which earned him favour from his father and Lord.
1. He was truthful in his work.
2. He was not a man pleaser.
3. He was diligent in father's business.
4. He would love his brethren even when they would hate him.
5. He was a man who would hate sin.
6. He was a visionary.
7. He was patient and submitted to Lord's plan.
Does it not seem similar to Jesus. Who borne all our sins and still didn't speak a word against those who hated him, he was diligent in father's business. He was favoured by Lord his Father but hated by men.
Saints, today when you are not being recognised for your work in your workplace. Don't fret or be angry remember that Lord is a rewarder for all your efforts. Though men will hate you, bring you to council and say things against you. Remember that Lord is with you and will never leave you fatherless.
Do good and don't get tired, Lord is a rewarder and finisher of your faith.
God bless
