Rebuilding Your World
PRAYER - "Who Am I?" 

 There are times when we all feel that we are unworthy to serve the Lord. But God will give us courage to fulfill every task. He never calls us to do a job without empowering us to do it. Moses was VERY reluctant to accept the call of God to deliver Israel from Pharaoh, but God had answers to all his objections. God will surely enable us.

Exodus 3:11 - "And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?"  Let's read the story.
Bible and Commentary


PRINCIPALS - "Goshen"
Joseph knew God had put him through his trials in Egypt to preserve the posterity of Israel. "...it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt." Joseph gave them the fertile land of Goshen.

Genesis 45:10 - "And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children's children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast."  Let's read the story. 
Bible

PRINCIPLES - "Enslaved to Save Lives"
Joseph sent his brothers away with the money they paid him hidden in their grain sacks, including Joseph's silver cup in Benjamin's sack. Then his servants arrested them and charged them with theft. But Joseph dropped the charges. "I am Joseph," he weepingly confessed. Their old sins against Joseph turned out for everyone's good. Same for us. God has a glorious outcome for all our sufferings..

Genesis 45:5 - "Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life."  Let's read the story. Bible and Commentary





PROPHECIES - "Jacob Prophesies to Joseph"

Although God forewarned Abraham that his descendants would suffer bondage for hundreds of years, He never planned for the children of Israel to stay in Egypt permanently. God raised up a holy nation in the midst of the hostile political climate of the Pharaohs, greatest kings in the world at that time. Here is the lesson: This world is not our home. God has a better land for all His children.

Genesis 48:21 - "And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers."  Let's read the story.
