PRAYER - "Jacob Blesses Joseph and Sons"

You can pronounce a blessing on others with special prayer. When Joseph presented his two sons to Jacob, the old man should have put his right hand on Mannaseh the older, but instead he switched them. He gave the first blessing to the younger son, just like his own father had done.

Genesis 48:16 - "The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth."  Lets read the story. Bible



Jacob Blesses His Sons

PRINCIPALS - "Ephraim and Manasseh"

Joseph begat his children in Egypt's royal household; Manasseh, "causing to forget," and Ephraim, "double fruit." When Grandfather Jacob came to Egypt and met his two new grandsons, he adopted them both. Afterward, Joseph's tribe was listed as two tribes - Ephraim and Manasseh. The priestly tribe, Levi, had no land inheritance, so there were still twelve tribes listed.

Genesis 48:5 - "And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine."  Lets read the story.  Bible

Jacob's sons hated Joseph because of his dreams. The dreams said they would bow to him. They determined that it would never happen. They would kill him if necessary to prevent it. But Judah pressed them only to sell him to slavery. They thought they were done with Joseph. But God was not through with them. It was all for a purpose. It does not pay to resist God's plan for your life. Sooner or later, reckoning day will come.

Genesis 43:18 - "And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph's house."  Lets read the story.  Bible   

 

PROPHECIES - "Corn in Egypt

The famine in Canaan was no accident. God was orchestrating an epic story. God had warned Abraham many years earlier that his descendants would become strangers in a land that was not theirs. Now it was about to begin, but they had not a clue. Israel would be forced to Egypt to survive. But Joseph was already there with their salvation. So was God.

Genesis 42:2 - "And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die." Let’s read the story.  Bible
