Joseph’s Secret Revealed!           

21 Mar Joseph’s Secret Revealed!           

In an unbelievable turn of events, Joseph went from prison to occupying the second-most powerful position in the world, ruling over Egypt’s food supply.

💥An amazing story. But there is something more amazing that reveals “Joseph’s Secret.”

💥Fast-forward many years, and Joseph looked like a completely different guy. He didn’t have the long hair and beard of a Hebrew.

💥Rather, he looked like an Egyptian. And just as God had warned through Pharaoh’s dreams, a famine came.

💥Meanwhile, Joseph’s family, in the land of Canaan, was also dealing with the effects of the famine.

💥They heard there was grain in Egypt, so his brothers went to get food.

💥When they showed up in Joseph’s court, he recognized them, but they didn’t recognize him.

💥An amazing scene unfolded!

“Joseph could stand it no longer.

💥There were many people in the room, and he said to his attendants, ‘Out, all of you!’

💥So he was alone with his brothers when he told them who he was. . . . ‘God has sent me ahead of you to keep you and your families alive and to preserve many survivors. So it was God who sent me here, not you!’ ”

💥This could have been the ultimate revenge story, but instead, Joseph forgave all of them.

🎯He knew that God is sovereign, which means that He’s in control and doesn’t make mistakes.

🎯To say that God is sovereign is saying that nothing comes into the life of His children that He has not been first approved.

🎯Joseph knew that God was always in control of his life, even in the hard times.

🎯And so he was careful not to offend Him. That is the powerful secret of Joseph!
