BELIEVE IN GOD’S

PLAN
Genesis 37:5-11 #1

April 4, 2019---Digos City Rev. Valeriano M. Geloca


Dreams are stories and
images that our minds
create while we sleep.
1. JOSEPH HAD A DREAM
In his dream he was out in the field with his
brothers and they were tying up bundles of
grain. All of a sudden Joseph’s bundle stood
up tall while his brothers’ bundles bowed
down to it. That sounds pretty crazy right?
But then he had a second dream, and in this
dream Joseph saw the sun, moon, and 11
stars bowing down to him.
2. GOD CHOSE TO BLESS JOSEPH
God chose to bless Joseph even
though he sinned and was prideful.
Just like Joseph, we don’t deserve
God’s blessings, but because God
loves us so much he blesses us too!
The best and most important blessing from
God is Jesus! Instead of punishing us for our
pride and sin, God sent His only Son to take
the punishment for us. He did this because
He loves us so much! Today we can thank
God for making a way for our sins to be
forgiven so that we can know God more.
LIVE IN FRONT OF GOD
Genesis 39:4-23  (NIV)
#2
The whole character of Joseph
and how it clashes with that of his
sinful brothers, his relationship
with his father, his dreams these
all set the stage.
1. GOD TAKES JOSEPH DOWN
He was far away from home, alone, a
prisoner with nothing but unknown
ahead of him. Was he afraid? It is not
said. But that in itself is a testimony to
the hand of God being upon Joseph.
2. GOD LIFTS JOSEPH UP
Joseph was not one who was
monetarily successful. He wasn,t
wealthy in gold and riches and in the
choicest garments, but he was
exorbitantly, spiritually wealthy. And
God made him that way.
3. GOD MAKES JOSEPH AN
INSTRUMENT OF HIS BLESSING
Finally, we see Joseph in the hands of God, as
God makes Joseph an instrument of His blessing.
Look at verse 5. So it was, from the time that he
had made him overseer of his house and all that
he had, that the Lord blessed the Egyptian,s
house for Joseph,s sake and the blessing of the
Lord was on all that he had in the house and in
the field.
Children, Joseph was in the
hands of God. He was used by
God. We must see him as an
ordinary man used by God in an
extraordinary way.
God Bless Everyone
WAIT WHILE BELIEVING GOD
Genesis 39:20-41:43
#3
We want everything done quickly and new devices constantly
spring up to meet those demands and encourage our
impatience. We are not used to waiting, and the more our
technology caters to our immediate desires, the less we feel
willing to wait. Such is our dilemma as Christians. While
society makes every attempt to make our life easier and faster,
God works on a very different timetable. In his mind, nothing is
wrong with waiting. In fact, waiting can actually be a positive
good that he often uses to make us more like his Son.
•  
1. GOD WORKS WHILE WE WAIT
The story of Joseph is a story of waiting to the
right time with God. Joseph believed that God is
working the best thing in his life, he experience
bad situation in his journey with God and do what
people they wanted. He brings blessing to the life
of others, he has a great effect, even in their
thinking with the God of Joseph.
2. JOSEPH INTERPRETS THE DREAM
Our natural response to waiting is
often anger or doubt. Fortunately,
God is gracious and merciful,
understanding of our tendencies.
BELIEVE THE GOD WHO
ACCOMPLISHES
Genesis 45:1-15
#4
In all history there is only one man
who had the distinction of making
the most dramatic rise to power –
from prison cell to prime minister’s
office.
I. THE PARDONING GRACE OF JOSEPH FOR
HIS BROTHERS.

When the drought came it was


so severe that Jacob’s family
in Canaan ran out of
provisions.
2. THE PRESERVING GRACE OF GOD FOR HIS
PEOPLE.

The Promised Grace of Joseph for


His Family In vv.9-13 Joseph tells his
brothers to bring their father and their
own families from Canaan to Egypt.
He has put all things under His feet (1
Corinthians 15;27). All power has been
given unto Him in heaven and in earth
(Matthew 28:18). This Brother I am
talking about is Jesus.
 
God Bless Everyone
