The Journey of the One in Whom is the Spirit of God (Gen. 41:38)
Let us bless and greet one another, “Jesus is the Christ, the son of the living God.” That was a worldwide praise, and I believe God has received the glory and the forces of darkness have been broken. Through our complete praise, God receives glory. The title of today’s worship is, “The Journey of the One in Whom is the Spirit of God.” How can we be filled with the Spirit of God? In other words, this means the journey of the one who lives with the strength of God.
1. Joseph
Today we will share the Word of God regarding Joseph. Simply put, nobody would help Joseph, but he had victory on his own. Joseph had nothing, and yet he succeeded. Is this possible even now? Yes, it is possible now. I believe the Word of the Covenant that Joseph held onto will be upon us today, as well. Then, what is it that Joseph held onto? What is it that moved Joseph’s heart?
First and foremost, why do human beings on earth continue to face curses and disasters? Why is it that humans have no choice but to be dragged around by their fate and destiny, and why do humans continue to have to suffer? Joseph knew the answer to that.
1) Abraham’s covenant
(1) Offspring of woman – Covenant (Gen. 3:15)
He knew the Jesus Christ that Abraham was holding onto from Gen. 3:15, where the virgin would conceive an offspring by the working of the Holy Spirit, that is, God Himself Who must solve this problem, and Joseph knew that. There are many people in America who believe in Jesus, but the problem is, there are very few people who know of Jesus as the answer to their life. There are very few Christians who are able to see the very many different problems and to correctly diagnose the problem and give the correct answer. Because they are not able to correctly interpret the problem, they struggle with the answer.
Joseph is somebody who knew the problem of the world and the answer for the world correctly, so there is nothing that could ever be a problem for Joseph because he knew the answer. Do you guys know what a master key is? It can unlock any locked lock, and if you have Jesus Christ, it is the answer to every problem. That is how you need to know Jesus Christ in order for you to not be sucked into any problem in America, and instead, save America.
(2) Through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed (Gen. 22:18)
(3) Your seed – Jesus Christ (Gal. 3:16)
That problem is nothing other than being separated from God. Then, it is the forces of darkness where Satan is invisibly dragging our life towards our fate and destiny, and the suffering of the hell we go to after we die, but also, the hellish suffering on earth. These three problems cannot be solved without Christ. You need to know Christ like that and hold onto Him as your answer. That is how you will realize the problem in front of you is not a problem.
Then, Joseph, who knew Christ like this, faced an incident; his mother passed away early, and through this incident, there was a conflict in the young Joseph’s life. For us, it may seem like a problem, but God is working with His answer to give him the vision and the dream that God will fulfill through Joseph in the future. What dream did God give him?
2) Vision
(1) Brothers and parents bow down before Joseph (Gen. 37:7-10)
Eleven stars would bow down to Joseph, the sun and the moon would bow down to Joseph.
(2) Reign over brothers (Gen. 37:8)
(3) Reveal the Lord to Egypt and the world
When Joseph said this dream, his older brothers rebuked him, “Are you going to be king? Are we going to bow down to you?” His father also said, “Should I and your mother also bow down to you?” Either way, this was the vision God was giving to Joseph. Who is bowing down to whom is not important, but God actually gave this vision to Joseph to testify to the entire world that the LORD God is the True God. Later on, that vision exactly was fulfilled.
If you know Christ correctly, God will give you the vision He will fulfill. If you don’t know Christ as the answer to your life, then you will not be able to see the vision or the dream. So, people live their walk of faith for a long time, but they still don’t see what they must do on earth. If you know Christ correctly, then God will show you the work He will do through you. That is the work God will do directly and personally through Joseph.
Even though Joseph had nobody to help him and nothing of his own, God would fulfill His vision through him. If you receive God’s vision and dream, you will not compare with anyone else. People always compare themselves with other people, that’s evidence they do not have a vision. If you do have a vision, you will not compare because you know and believe God will fulfill what He has given to you, so you follow that.
3) Sold to Egypt
(1) Tried to kill (Gen. 37:18-24)
(2) Sold Joseph to merchants (Gen. 37:28)
As soon as God gives Joseph the vision, He creates this incident of Joseph’s older brothers trying to kill him. Even though the older brothers are trying to kill Joseph, God moves the heart of one of the older brothers to sell him as a slave.
(3) Bought by Potiphar in Egypt (Gen. 39:1)
He ended up being sold as a slave in Egypt, which was the most powerful superpower nation of the time, and the house he was sold into was the house of Potiphar, who was the captain of the guard of the Pharaoh, and that is God’s masterpiece. I’m sure Joseph felt unfairly treated, “Why did my older brothers try to kill me?” Imagine it for yourself, as soon as God gives Joseph the vision, He also makes Joseph get lost in a well, then a lot of our kids may say, “I received God’s grace, why are these things happening in my life?” People say, “I received the deep grace of God through the Word, but why are these incidents happening in my life?” That incident is to fulfill God’s vision.
What are the incidents happening in your life right now? Or, what are the incidents that happened in your past? For the people who know Christ correctly and come to the answer of Christ, they will interpret those events correctly, they will interpret the past, they will begin to see their future, and they will know their present reality today. This is something you cannot learn no matter how much you study in the world, this is something only God can know, and humans can only know if God gives it to us. Think about it, why did Joseph get sold as a slave to the captain of the guard instead of just some random merchant’s house? That’s what God does.
2. Joseph’s journey
1) Potiphar’s house
(1) The Lord was with Joseph (Gen. 39:2)
From that point on, it says that the LORD was with Joseph. How is God with us? God is invisible to the eyes. Is it through our dreams? Or do we know God through our emotions? God is Spirit, He is the Word, God reveals Himself through His Word, the Holy Spirit reveals the Word of God in our hearts so that we understand and remember. Can you see God out in the world?
(2) His master saw that the Lord was with him (Gen. 39:3)
He is with you through His Word, and the devil prevents you from holding onto God’s Word, and instead makes you hold onto your thoughts. It says in the Bible that the devil placed the thought of selling Jesus Christ into the head of Judas Iscariot. Even right now, Jesus Christ is fulfilling His work of salvation ministry, and the Holy Spirit is bound to work upon our prayers with His power. That Triune God was with Joseph, no matter what problem you face, you will see the answer in God’s Word. No matter how weak I am, the Holy Spirit is bound to answer my prayers with power. No matter where I go, God is bound to save people through His salvation ministry through me, so your life is finished because of Christ, now that you are with the Triune God.
“How can that be the conclusion of my life? I still need to get a job, I still need to make money, I still need to get a house, and I still need to restore my health.” You know Jesus incorrectly; Jesus is God, and inside of Christ, everything is hidden. Your health, your wisdom, your knowledge, everything is within Jesus Christ. He is the Creator God and He is with you right now through the Holy Spirit. Paul said in Col. 2:3 that everything is hidden within Christ, that is how we must know Christ. If you do know Christ like that, then even though you have nothing, you actually have everything. You will know the fact that no matter what situation you face, God guides you.
(3) Prosperous in everything, blessed – In charge of his household (Gen. 39:4-5)
If you’re facing unfair treatment, that’s not unfair because just like Joseph, through his unfair incident, God is fulfilling his vision and dream. Because the Lord was with Joseph, when Joseph was sent as a slave to Potiphar’s house, all of Potiphar’s household was blessed and prosperous. If God is with you, disasters flee. If God is with you, then God’s works of prosperity take place. Even things that are not taking place, if God moves them, they are bound to work. Then Potiphar realized, “As soon as I got this slave, Joseph, my household has been blessed,” so Potiphar made Joseph the head of his household.
When the owner sees you, they need to realize, “Oh, things will work out only if I choose this person.” The household of Potiphar was not just a household; back then, your family was your business or enterprise, and God fulfilled Potiphar’s business through Joseph. Just as God moved all of the Garden of Eden through Adam, God moved all of Egypt through Joseph, and God will move everything through you and your business too. That is what we are talking about. We’re not saying that you need to use your brain well; our brains are actually unnecessary, why are they unnecessary? Because God must put His wisdom into my thoughts. It doesn’t matter if you have no power because God can give you power. “But why don’t I get it?” Because you’re holding onto the wrong things. God works to fulfill God’s vision and dream. God does not work to fulfill our own greed or ambition. God does not work so that I can elevate my own name. Psalm 23 says, “The LORD guides us in paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.”
2) Prison
(1) Refused temptation by Potiphar’s wife (Gen. 39:7-12)
(2) Imprisoned because of a lie (Gen. 39:20)
Then it seems like things are going well, but then later, Potiphar’s wife falsely accuses Joseph of attempted rape and puts him into prison. It seems like things are going well, I’m receiving answers, but then I face this huge incident. And it must be so unfair because he never did anything, but he was falsely accused and imprisoned. So, of course when Potiphar heard the words of his wife, he did not stay still, he put Joseph into a prison that was specifically for political prisoners. Instead of sending Joseph to a regular civilian prison, God used Potiphar’s wife to guide Joseph into a political prison for people of royal descent. It may feel like you are being treated unfairly, but actually, God is preparing for the things ahead and putting Joseph into prison.
If you know God well, it means you will not look at things based on your standards of ethics and morals. God does not work based on your standards of what is good or what is bad. God will make any incident happen, only to fulfill His Word. It may seem like a problem, but for the people who know the answer, they will be able to see. First, when they face the incident, they may be taken aback, they may even feel they are being treated unfairly, but if they begin to pray for the vision God has given to them, they will realize why they are here.
(3) The warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison (Gen. 39:21-23)
When Joseph was put into the political prison, the prison warden was given grace by God and made Joseph the one in charge of the prison. So, Joseph is able to take care of all of the prisoners and even to counsel with them. Because he is the one in charge of the prison, they have to tell everything to the one in charge. Some people were in prison because they were unfairly accused, or some people actually committed a crime. In that prison, there were two people who used to serve the king, one who gave the bread and one who gave the wine. One person was imprisoned unfairly and the other was imprisoned for a crime they committed, and Joseph gives the answer to the one who was unfairly imprisoned, saying, “You will be set free,” and then that’s how he was set free. But as time passes, God creates another incident.
3) Stood in front of Pharaoh
(1) There was no one to interpret Pharaoh’s dream (Gen. 41:8)
God gave the Pharaoh a dream he could not interpret. God is the ruler of all creation, God even moves the hearts of nonbelievers. It’s not only believers, and when God gave the Pharaoh this dream, he was afflicted every night. So, the Pharaoh called in all the scholars and all the sorcerers and all the people, but they could not interpret his dream because that dream and nightmare was given to him by God.
(2) Joseph – Saw what God was about to do (Gen. 41:25)
Finally, Joseph was remembered and brought before the Pharaoh. What does Joseph say in Gen. 41:25? Joseph said to Pharaoh, “God has revealed to Pharaoh what He is about to do,” through these dreams. These words are no ordinary words because back in those days, everyone in the whole nation needed to serve one religion based on the government. Joseph is saying, “All the gods you believe in have no power.” Joseph said to the Pharaoh, “My God, the True God, is revealing what He will do through the dream He has given to you.” In other words, he is saying, “All the gods and idols you Egyptians believe in are false idols, only God is the true God.”
The easiest thing in the world is evangelism. If evangelism feels like the hardest thing for you, it means that Christ is the hardest thing for you. If somebody is telling you their problem, all you have to do is give them the answer, but you’re not able to do that; you don’t know the problem or the answer. Even for people who are facing their own problem, if they see the answer of Christ, they can solve their problem easily. Joseph knew the problem of Pharaoh easily, because God gave Pharaoh the answer through His Word, through Joseph’s mouth.
The problem of America cannot be solved by the President. The problem of America cannot be discovered by Ivy League graduates or researchers in a think tank. No matter how great an individual is, they cannot know the problem of America, nor can they solve it. But God is bound to give His answer through the one who knows the covenant of Christ and the vision of God.
Joseph’s older brothers could not understand. They go to church and believe in Jesus, but they do not have the answer, so every day, all they do is, they compare, they get jealous, they fight, and they kill, but actually inside of the churches, more Christians are like that, but God is saying, “Joseph is the normal, good Christian.” No matter what problem he faces, it’s not a problem for him, why? Because the solution to that problem is the Triune God with me, giving me His Word. It doesn’t matter how weak I am because God works with power upon my prayers. Through me, God is doing the work of saving people’s lives through missions and evangelism.
(3) Joseph in whom is the Spirit of God (Gen. 41:38)
Nobody could interpret Pharaoh’s dream for weeks, but Joseph interpreted Pharaoh’s dream. Joseph interpreted, “Your dream means there will be seven years of abundant harvest and seven years of famine. That dream was given to you by God, and only God can reveal this.” God gives His answer through the one who correctly knows the Christ. Then, Pharaoh, who was actually an idol-worshiping Gentile king, confesses, when he sees Joseph, “Whom can we find who is filled with the Spirit of God like this man?” He’s actually a king who is leading an idol-worshiping nation, but from his lips, he says the word, “God,” and he has seen God for the first time through Joseph. Through Joseph, and God being with Joseph, it was proved that God is alive and God is the True God. Our entire life is a journey of proving to others that Jesus is the Christ and He is the True God. All of the people around you will know that.
It is bound to happen so that through you, other people around you will see that Jesus Christ is the solution to all problems and is the True God. That is the proper Christian. If that is not taking place, then the problem is with me, it’s not with God; it means that something is incorrect inside of me. It means that something about “Jesus is the Christ” is incorrectly processed in me. By God’s grace of the cross, I’ve received salvation and believe in Jesus, but I haven’t yet figured out why He is the answer to my life.
If God does it, then we do it. God reveals the solution to every single problem in the world through Christ. John 5:39 says the entire Bible is testifying of Jesus Christ, and God is bound to work with the power of His name. The power of the name of Jesus. Anyone who knows this correctly will live a life that proves that Jesus is the Christ, and that He is the True God.
3. Joseph’s summit – World Evangelism
1) Became governor (Gen. 41:43)
When Pharaoh saw Joseph, he realized, “I have to entrust everything to Joseph.” So, Pharaoh actually says, “I will put you in charge of all of Egypt.” Most people in the world will do everything they can to get this level of power that Joseph had, but success is actually given to us by God, and the reason God gives us success is to reveal the work that He was doing.
You must educate your children correctly. If you put into your kids the incorrect image of your success, you are making your children into slaves. On the other hand, if God is able to give His vision to His children through you, then you will see your children’s futures. For somebody who has God’s vision and dream, it’s okay even if they go in as a slave because “There’s nobody who can block the dream inside of me.” Do you have a dream? If not, then you are dead. Do you have a dream? If you do, then you have everything.
What’s important for Christians is, do you have the dream God gives you? As we begin the year 2024, are we going forward with the vision and the dream that God has given to us? God is continuously giving it to us, but we are actually diverting our focus onto something else. If you knew Christ correctly, God is bound to show you His vision and His dream for you.
In the year 1997, I accepted Jesus Christ and asked God, “What must I do with the rest of my life?” Even after I believed in Jesus, I did not know, so at that young age, I kept on asking God, and God does not reveal Himself by giving you some feeling or vision. I went to a training conference in Singapore, and I was a young adult in my early 30s with a thirsty heart, and I still can’t forget it. It was in November, and in Singapore, it was very hot, so we were swimming in a swimming pool. Even now, I remember the noodles I ate there. There were these very tiny peppers I saw for the very first time. That’s not what I’m trying to tell you, but I’m saying, I can’t forget that time.
Because I went to a training conference with three messages, but I only remember two Bible verses. “Go and make disciples of all nations.” “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you and be a witness until the ends of the earth.” At the time, I just realized, “Okay,” because I didn’t know how God answers, I just thought that was that. But the more time passes, the more those two Bible verses remain in my heart. I prayed so much asking God, “What must I do with my life?” and God answered me so accurately with His Word, and those Bible verses are still not leaving my heart. That is how we began this new church and that is how God has been guiding our church until now.
I can tell you very surely, God has already given you His Word. It’s just that I’m turning my focus somewhere else, so even though the Word is given to me, I don’t see it. And God will give you His Word again, He’s already given you His Word, but it’s just that we are turning our focus onto something else. We’re not able to leave our attention from the things Satan desires and has planted into us, like the things of Genesis 3, things for my benefit and for my physical success. That’s because Christ has not come into my life as that great of an answer yet. He is very amazing and shocking, exactly according to the Word God has given as an answer, He is fulfilling it in His time schedule. And whenever God was fulfilling His vision, the business people were used moment-by-moment throughout the ages. Look at Joseph, whenever God needed it, God gave Him the financial answers and blessings. Joseph had nothing but he actually had everything.
In Philippians 4, Paul confesses, “I have learned to be content in poverty and in wealth. I may seem like I have nothing, but I have everything.” That is the confession of a Christian who truly believes. We have nothing, but we have everything. If you have God’s vision and dream, everything will follow after that.
Moses said, “I have nothing,” He only gave one staff to Moses, that one staff is not what’s important, but just as God worked through the Word He gave to Moses, God fulfilled His Word and used Moses’ staff to do it. Paul lived his life in the past not knowing this, but after Paul did realize this, he confessed that knowing Christ is the greatest of all knowledge. Even right now, I race towards the goal for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. My citizenship is not of this earth, it is the Kingdom of Heaven. Paul’s eyes were opened to see that everything he receives is from heaven. We are not believing in Jesus so we can accumulate a lot of good things on earth. Instead, God is utilizing the things of the earth to fulfill His heavenly mission and vision of establishing God’s Kingdom on earth.
(1) Famine in Egypt and all the other lands (Gen. 41:54)
Joseph becomes the governor, and then they face the seven years of abundant harvest, and Joseph stores all the grain away into storehouses. If you want to go into politics, you need to know God well. If you want to have a competitive business, you need to know God correctly. If you don’t know God, then how could you be in charge of your business? God is the owner of all creation Who is moving your business; how could you possibly own your business without God?
During the seven years of abundant harvest, he takes all the grain and stores it. Joseph never studied economics, but God was able to train Joseph on how to harvest crops while he was a slave, and so, God taught Joseph the realistic economy. Because you study so much in theory, but it has nothing to do with reality. There’s a very big difference between someone who studied Taekwondo their entire life and someone who grew up on the streets, fighting. People who study Taekwondo only operate within the rules of Taekwondo, they only operate within the rules of Taekwondo, but for people who grew up fighting on the streets, there are no rules, they just need to fight and win.
For a Christian, we must be able to solve any problem we face, and it doesn’t take place by studying the Bible. If you correctly know Christ and you are able to see God’s vision, then you’ll be able to solve any problem that comes your way. Those future generations who know that mystery must then grow up, and they must go into the schools, government, politics, and hospitals, in order for God to create these enterprises through the remnants. With the medical level we have right now, we cannot solve or get rid of mental illnesses. Even though we study medicine, we’re not able to solve it. However, among all the doctors and nurses, if there is one individual who knows God and Jesus Christ correctly and has seen the vision of God, then God will create these incidents that glorify Christ in their business and create these works of healing.
If you want to run your business correctly, you must solve the problems of your subordinates. The way to solve the problems of their lives is to show them the true Christ correctly. If somebody is going to work everyday, but they’re always stuck in their problems, can they work correctly? Sometimes they even have to steal from the business because they have to solve their problem, and it’s not enough with the salary they are making. The characteristic of a good owner of a business is the one who is able to teach that subordinate about Jesus Christ correctly and give them the answer to that person’s life. If you’re able to teach that person the reason why they must live and work, and they see the vision of God, then they become normal. Because they will work before God, they will stop deceiving and cheating. Only the people who do not know the blessings contained within Christ will steal and cheat. If there’s a work that God desires to do through me, then why would I have to deceive others? Why would I have to lie in front of people? I won’t have to, so that person becomes very bold, and may we have many future generations like Joseph arising.
(2) All the world came to Egypt to buy grain (Gen. 41:57)
Now, they faced the seven years of famine, in other words, a disaster, and it’s not only in Egypt; all other nations faced that famine. In Gen. 41:57, it wasn’t only Egypt that came to buy grain from Joseph, but all of the world came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph. Think about this, all the different nations coming to Egypt had their own gods they believed in, and they were all lining up in front of Joseph, but Joseph’s skin color was different from the Egyptians, so they would probably ask Joseph, “How do you have so much grain during this famine?” Of course, the foreigners would ask, and of course, Joseph has to explain the work God has done.
So, evangelism is the easiest thing. Because God made everything happen, you just have to give the answer, and God raises you to a high position to give that answer. Even if you don’t struggle to succeed, one day, you are placed in that position.
(3) Joseph’s brothers bowed down to Joseph (Gen. 42:6)
It wasn’t only these other foreigners who came to Joseph, but exactly according to the dream, Joseph’s brothers came and bowed down before him. Because he is now the governor of Egypt and they came to buy grain from him, they need to bow down before him. That is the passage that fulfills the dream given to him in Genesis 37 exactly. Because Joseph’s whole family line would die if they don’t eat, and in order for them to live, they must come to buy grain.
So, what is the first work God did? God saves those who believe first. Because Jesus Christ needs to be born to the Israelites, and if they all die, Jesus Christ cannot be born, so He protects His believers. The second thing God does is, through this incident, He reveals to everybody that Jesus is the True God. He makes it so that every nation knows that Jesus Christ is the True God and King and solution to our problems.
2) Joseph and his family met
(1) It was to save lives that God sent me ahead (Gen. 45:5)
(2) God sent me to Egypt (Gen. 45:8)
Joseph’s father, Jacob, sends his children to receive grain from Egypt and prays. When Jacob begins to pray, God gives Jacob His Word. What does He tell Jacob? What does God say in Gen. 45:5-8? God told Joseph to go to Egypt because God would make his entire household the ruler of Egypt.
(3) God’s promise to Jacob that will be fulfilled in Egypt (Gen. 46:3)
In Gen. 46:3, God tells Jacob to go down to Egypt, so God told Jacob, “Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you a great nation there, and I will give you the land I promised to your father Abraham.” That Word God gave to Jacob is being fulfilled through Joseph now. When his older brothers finally come to Joseph, Joseph says in Gen. 45:5, “God has sent me ahead of you to save lives,” and Joseph does not have any kind of heart of resentment or anger or hatred towards his brothers. There is no anger or hurt or scar there.
Are there any of you who are holding onto your scars, your trauma, or your anger? That will not go away. When can it go away? When, just like Joseph, you’re able to understand, “Yes, my older brothers may have tried to kill me, but it was actually God Who was sending me to Egypt to do His work there,” then you will come out of your scars and you’ll understand. It doesn’t matter how much you study psychology or psychiatry, you cannot escape from these scars. The reason why there are so many shootings in America is because the scars and the trauma are exploding in anger. If you have that scar, then Satan will use it to give you mental illnesses. If you continue to hold onto that scar, it will turn into mental illness. That is something no medical professional can solve. This is something only Jesus Christ Who is God Himself can solve. It is no longer just a scar but it is actually a holy incident that God has allowed to happen, to do God’s work here, now.
3) Death of Jacob and Joseph
(1) Jacob – Buried in Canaan (Gen. 47:30)
Finally, Jacob and Joseph both pass away, but the words they said as they died was the Word of God. When Jacob passed away, he said, “Bury me in the land of Canaan. Go to the land of Canaan, the Promised Land that God has given as a covenant to Abraham.” Why is it the land of Canaan? Because that is the land where Jesus Christ would be born. The direction of the entire Old Testament is the direction Jesus Christ would be born.
What is the direction your 2024 is going in? Is it aligned with God’s direction? It must be aligned with God’s direction to receive answers. It must be aligned to God’s direction to overcome your scars. It must be aligned with God’s direction to come out of your mental illnesses. It must be aligned with God’s direction to experience the answers of Canaan. If it is not aligned with God’s direction, even if you have money, you don’t have money, because when God blows it away, it all goes away. All of that belongs to God, but if you do not know God, you think it all belongs to you. It is because of your ignorance.
Later on, you will realize, “Oh, it did not belong to me, even my life does not belong to me, my child does not belong to me, my health does not belong to me,” the more time passes, the more God will prove Himself. Even right now in the land of America, God is proving Himself. It doesn’t matter how much of a superpower nation America is, it cannot solve this problem. We have these little tiny scars inside of us, and no one can solve that. Because of these scars, people end up killing their own fathers, and people fall into alcoholism because they have to solve it. Because of that, they have no choice but to do drugs. But even right now, God is giving us His Word. There is no other answer other than God, and that method is Jesus Christ. The one who knows this, wherever you go, you will save.
(2) God changed his brothers’ harm to good (Gen. 50:20)
(3) Buried Joseph in Canaan (Gen. 50:25)
Joseph also asked, ‘Bury my bones in the land of Canaan, not in Egypt.” The common characteristic of all the successful people God used is they will hold onto their God-given vision until the end of their life. Even if that person dies, that covenant will be relayed to their future generations.
When Jacob passed away, the older brothers of Joseph were trembling in fear, because they thought he would kill them now that their father was dead, but in Gen. 50:20, Joseph said, “God intended good for what you have done.” Do you think you could say something like Joseph said by studying? Do you think you could write something this good from making money? Do you think you can write something like this if you become the President? This was his truth. God has allowed this seemingly evil scar to happen in order to fulfill His hidden plan. If that incident that initially seemed like a scar did not happen, then God’s will would not be fulfilled.
Conclusion
1. Jesus Christ – It is finished (Jn. 19:30)
“Why am I living in America? Why is my entire family broken down?” It’s not that the family is broken; God has allowed that to happen so that you will experience many things in that situation and that you may come to know Christ. It is not a mistake; it is the work God did. You must receive that grace.
2. God’s kingdom – All peoples on earth, All nations, To the ends of the earth
When you receive the grace to see that, you will no longer be seized by Satan. “Go to all nations,” and in the Old Testament, it was, “Go to Canaan.” Now, my business must go to all nations, my studies and life in America must be a life that goes to all nations to heal them. They are all diseased because they don’t have the answer. The future generations are being deceived again, thinking that all they have to do is study well because they don’t know this, and the parents don’t know this either, so they’re shoving their kids into this rat race. You need to give the correct answer to the children and raise them up.
