ABIDING IN GOD’S PRESENCE: IT’S ABIDING IN HIS WORD AND ABIDING IN HIS LOVE – NOTHING MORE OR LESS!

It’s our moment of time to abide in God’s LOVE and His WORD in order to enjoy his presence; for it’s our PATH for the FULLNESS of JOY and PLEASURE for EVERMORE.

Moses demands from the Father God to show him “THE WAY” to life. In other words, “THE PATH” to true life that makes one to THRIVE, be FRUITFUL, be FULFILLED meaningfully in the FULLNESS of God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS.

And as Moses did experience, we need to have and enjoy the PATH of life that brings about the fullness of God’s joy and pleasures that is evermore; and must determine with gracious hearts to abide in His presence.

And to abide in God’s presence is to – Abide in His WORD and in His LOVE. Nothing more and Nothing less. This is the how to thrive and rejuvenate in God’s gracious presence.

ABIDE IN GOD’S LOVE AND HIS WORD IN ORDER TO ENJOY HIS PRESENCE – IT’S YOUR PATH FOR THE FULLNESS OF JOY AND PLEASURE FOR EVERMORE.

“. . . 12 And Moses said unto the Lord, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight. 13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people. 14 And he said, My PRESENCE shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. 15 And he said unto him, If thy PRESENCE go not with me, carry us not up hence. . .” Exodus 33.

“Thou wilt shew me the PATH OF LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS of joy; at thy RIGHT HAND there are PLEASURES for evermore” Psalms 16:11.

“. . . 4 ABIDE in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it ABIDE in the vine; no more can ye, except ye ABIDE in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that ABIDETH in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If ye ABIDE in me, and my WORDS ABIDE in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall ABIDE in my LOVE; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you . . .” John 15:1-16.

THE GOSPEL – THE POWER OF GOD – TO HUMAN SALVATION!

November 8, 2021 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

THE GOSPEL – THE POWER OF GOD – TO HUMAN SALVATION!

The GOSPEL is about the CROSS, the CROSS is about CHRIST JESUS, and CHRIST JESUS is the POWER of God, the POWER of God is about human SALVATION – and NOTHING ELSE; otherwise, it’s more human BONDAGES.

Therefore, if the Gospel you are hearing or listening to, or receiving, does not LIBERATE you, throw it into the bin – discard it I mean, otherwise, you will end up in more BONDAGES than you anticipated.

For the GOSPEL is not a religion, not a DOCTRINE and more so, not a PROPHECY awaiting to happen to you, nor is it a TRADITIONAL dogmas, creeds, bylaws and philosophy to adhere toward. As such, FLEE from every contrary and live in the liberty wherein Christ Jesus had MADE you whole and free in Father God. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“For I am not ashamed of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER of God unto SALVATION to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God REVEALED from FAITH to FAITH: as it is written, The JUST shall LIVE by FAITH” Romans 1:16-17.

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED by faith, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS by FAITH into this GRACE wherein we STAND, and REJOICE in HOPE of the GLORY of God” Romans 5:1-2.

“For Christ SENT me not to baptize, but to PREACH THE GOSPEL: not with wisdom of words, lest the CROSS of Christ should be made of none effect. 18 For the PREACHING of the CROSS is to them that perish FOOLISHNESS; but unto us which are SAVED it is the POWER of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of PREACHING to save them that believe. 22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23 but we PREACH Christ CRUCIFIED, unto the Jews a STUMBLINGBLOCK, and unto the Greeks FOOLISHNESS; 24 but unto them which ARE CALLED, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the POWER of God, and the WISDOM of God” 1 Corinthians 1:17-25.

SPEAK TO THE MOUNTAIN

November 6, 2021 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

SPEAK TO THE MOUNTAIN: YOUR MOUTH – GOD’S MOUTH IF YOU BELIEVE!

HAVE YOU DWELL LONG ENOUGH ON THE MOUNT? Are you STRUGGLING or at STANDSTILL in your PATH of progress? MOUNTAIN’S are long standing road blocks on your path to progress. You need to SPEAK to it and not TALK about it.

You can by today and through this month overturn THAT mountain to become a plain by SPEAKING FORTH to it right now as Zerubbabel did AUTHORITATIVELY for the outpouring of God’s favour – GRACE.

YOUR MOUTH DEFINES YOU – BELIEVE and SPEAK FORTH to your triumph, victory, overcoming and more than conquerors in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For I will give you a MOUTH and WISDOM, which all your ADVERSARIES shall not be ABLE to GAINSAY nor RESIST” Luke 21:15.

“WHO ART THOU, O great MOUNTAIN? before Zerubbabel thou shalt BECOME A PLAIN: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it” Zechariah 4:7.

“For verily I SAY unto you, That whosoever shall SAY UNTO THIS MOUNTAIN, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not DOUBT in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he SAITH shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he SAITH. 24 Therefore I SAY unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall HAVE them” Mark 11:23-24.

“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy MOUTH, and in thy HEART: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is MADE unto SALVATION” Romans 10:8-10.

“A man’s belly shall be SATISFIED with the FRUIT of his MOUTH; and with the INCREASE of his LIPS shall he be FILLED. 21 DEATH and LIFE are in the POWER of the TONGUE: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof” Proverbs 18:20-21.

“Therefore thus saith the Lord, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, THOU SHALT BE AS MY MOUTH: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them” Jeremiah 15:19.

“The VOICE of him that crieth in the WILDERNESS, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 4 EVERY VALLEY shall be EXALTED, and EVERY MOUNTAIN and HILL shall be MADE LOW: and the CROOKED shall be MADE STRAIGHT, and the ROUGH PLACES PLAIN: 5 and the glory of the Lord shall be REVEALED, and all FLESH shall see it together: for the MOUTH of the Lord hath spoken it” Isaiah 40:3-5.

An HOUR In God’s PRESENCE

November 5, 2021 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

An HOUR In God’s PRESENCE: Endeavour To Practice It Daily – You Will NEVER Regret It!

CAN’T YOU WATCH WITH ME FOR AN HOUR? That is, can’t you spend at least an HOUR in Father God’s PRESENCE with Me? That was the question that Jesus did asked the early followers called Disciples who later became Apostles.

This above subject questioning of Christ Jesus, reminds me of my early and now Christian FAITH motto that serves as my PRAYER guidance:

“SEVEN PRAYERLESS DAYS MAKES ONE WEAK” – WEAKENED IN THE FAITH!

Any acclaimed Believers in Christ, who can’t spend at least – an hour in Father God’s presence a day, is prone to fall into diverse temptations knowingly or unknowingly as one of the Disciples who couldn’t WATCH and PRAY did – by trying to cut off one called Malchus ears with the sword – Matthew 26:51-53; John 18:10. If they did watch for an hour in Father’s presence, they would have known His mind about matters concerning Christ and their faith in the kingdom. The consequential results of not watching for examples are these: Peter cut Malchus ears, later denied Jesus; others hid themselves as many does today when questioned if they knew Jesus Christ.

Adam and Eve hid themselves too from God – remember that?; and many same like challenging matters that many have avoided to stand up for their FAITH in Christ Jesus. Romans 5:1-2; 1 Peter 5:8-9.

Will you WATCH FOR AN HOUR at least in a day in Father God’s presence, as a schedule in your PATH OF LIFE? For therein is the FULNESS of joy and PLEASURE forevermore. For an HOUR In God’s PRESENCE, makes life an essence that’s WORTH living, in advancing in the Kingdom cause and in keeping the enemy and cohorts at bay.

It’s a CHOICE to make your PATH OF LIFE in God’s PRESENCE, in order to bring forth your FULLNESS OF JOY and PLEASURE FOR EVERMORE in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS. Amen.

“Thou wilt shew me the PATH OF LIFE:in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS of JOY; at thy RIGHT HAND there are PLEASURES for EVERMORE” Psalms 16:11.

“Then Jesus came with THEM to a place CALLED Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go and PRAY over there.” 37 And He TOOK with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. 38 Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. STAY HERE AND WATCH WITH ME.” 39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and PRAYED, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” 40 Then He came to the disciples and found them SLEEPING, and said to Peter, “WHAT! COULD YOU NOT WATCH WITH ME ONE HOUR? 41 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 42 Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done.” 43 And He came and found them ASLEEP again, for their eyes were heavy. 44 So He left them, went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. 45 Then He came to His disciples and said to them, “ARE YOU STILL SLEEPING AND RESTING? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand” . . . 51 And suddenly, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. 52 But Jesus said to him, “Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. 53 Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels? 54 How then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen thus?” 55 In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me? I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not seize Me. 56 But all this was done that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples FORSOOK Him and fled” Matthew 26:36-56 (NKJV).

EXCELLENCE IS PURE: ENVISION IT TO EXCEL!

November 5, 2021 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

EXCELLENCE IS PURE: ENVISION IT TO EXCEL!

“HOLDING the MYSTERY OF THE FAITH in a PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9.

“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE VOID OF OFFENCE TOWARD God, AND TOWARD men” Acts 24:16.

Sometimes when I hear some so called Gospel Ministers and Christian faith believers say this –

“IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT THEY DO AS LONG AS GOD STILL LOVES THEM” – I begin to wonder what this life of grace has become in the 21st century. Is it true that God still loves us in faith no matter what we do? Who then will QUESTION the UNSAVED and what right do we have then to preach the Gospel to the unsaved.

Know full well that God loves us, and that does not mean He does commend a life being lived outside His WORD. As I have always said time and again that our God will only COMMEND what He COMMAND and ORDERED. All things excellent will work for the good of those who not only love God BUT walk and do according to the course of His Word – Purpose. Romans 8:28-30.

Many times, God’s purposes of excellence to us, is so clear before us, but we need to walk and work in the course of that envisioned covenant of His grace; and if one begin to do any act of life outside His Word, we will surely loose out in our place of grace to excel. Apostle Paul says this in Galatians 2:21 “I do not FRUSTRATE the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain”. Meaning I do not do things that will make the GRACE of God INOPERATIVE and INEFFECTIVE in my life. Amen.

A living example of frustrating grace is as this: What happened to Reuben the firstborn of Jacob?

Though born for envisioned excellence, he lost his place of blessedness to excel to his younger brother Joseph, for sleeping with one of His father’s wives. You can’t eat your cake and have it. Grace for excellence is not cheap or not to be taken for granted and done with despite as Hebrews 10:29 warns and enjoins: “of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done DESPITE unto the Spirit of grace?”

When you look through the heroes of Faith in the Patriarchal order of HEBREWS CHAPTER ELEVEN, you will notice after Patriarch Jacob, the next name that comes is Patriarch Joseph instead of Patriarch Reuben, though he was his father’s excellency of dignity and firstborn worthy of double honour as the Scripture does recommend – Genesis 49:3; Deuteronomy 21:15-17; Genesis 25:31-33. That’s why you must be on guard on your ENVISIONED EXCELLENCE to avoid derailing in the grace of actualising your place in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead, of our REDEMPTION in Him. Acts 20:32; Hebrews 6:10-12; Ephesians 1:7 (Colossians 1:13-14; 1 Corinthians 1:30).

EXCELLENCE IS PURE! So, if you crave to have God’s good and best, watch your PATH OF LIFE to the ENVISIONED EXCELLENCE. 1 Timothy 3:9; Philippians 4:8.

“And Jacob CALLED unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days. 2 Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father. 3 Reuben, thou art MY FIRSTBORN, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power: 4 unstable as water, thou shalt not EXCEL; because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed; then DEFILEDST thou it: he went up to my couch” (Genesis 49:1-4).

“. . . By FAITH Isaac BLESSED Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. 21 By FAITH Jacob, when he was a dying, BLESSED both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff. 22 By FAITH Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones. . .” (Hebrews 11:20-22).

God Is FAITHFUL: He CALLED Us Into His FELLOWSHIP

God Is FAITHFUL: He CALLED Us Into His FELLOWSHIP – To Enhance Our RELATIONSHIP In Him!

We were created for FELLOWSHIP. We lost it in Adam; but thanks to God that in Christ Jesus by our REDEMPTION in Him, we’ve been CALLED, having been FOREKNOWN, PREDESTINATED, JUSTIFIED and GLORIFIED to share in this FELLOWSHIP; and not just for now only but for all eternity as we stand in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Genesis 3:8-11 (1-24); 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28-30; 1 John 1:1-10.

FELLOWSHIP enhance RELATIONSHIP. Show me an outstanding and stable RELATIONSHIP, I will show you the FELLOWSHIP that has been built over time, behind the scene, to make it LIKEABLE, LOVEABLE and LIVEABLE.

COMMUNION – the Common Union is about being together in common grace of life – 1 Peter 3:7-12 (1-12); and that is what makes the Relationship of grace, a UNIFIED bond of common knowledge and understanding on same path of life in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS.

You can develop a sense of fellowship (communion) today to enhance your relationship with God, spouse, family and mankind in all good and pure consciousness. It’s on such atmosphere you can experience and know with full joy, that – GOD IS FAITHFUL in all His way. Amen.

Nothing LESS Than God’s PRESENCE

November 4, 2021 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

Nothing LESS Than God’s PRESENCE: That’s All You NEED Today – To Make Your Difference!

“As the deer PANTS for the water brooks, So PANTS my soul for You, O God. 2 My soul THIRSTS for God, for the LIVING God. When shall I come and APPEAR before God? . . .” Psalms 42 NKJV.

For the FULNESS of unspeakable, thriving and rejuvenating Joy and God’s pleasures, NOTHING LESS than His PRESENCE, is all that’s needed today to make life a living worth – meaningful and purposeful. It’s time to stop running after men to secure God’s PRESENCE – and no matter the class, status, title and decorum of any man, none should stand between you and God. No more should you let any become your in-between, for no other NAME under heaven GIVEN among men – except Jesus Christ. Acts 4:12; 1 Timothy 2:5; Romans 5:1-2.

Moses knew best, hence, he refuses anything less than God’s PRESENCE. That’s all that was needed and it’s needed in today’s changing and challenging world and times. Exodus 33.

Remarkably, our Lord Jesus Christ in humanity, though He was ANOINTED to carry on the Kingdom cause for which He came, NEEDED also, the abounding love PRESENCE of our Father God to keep Him keeping on. How much more could we need God now then ever. Acts 10:38.

Much more, God had promised to be with us always as long as we are in the path of life that is of His WILL, in His WORD in His Kingdom causes. Matthew 28:19-20.

Crave for God’s presence today I plead with you, in order to enjoy His abounding grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Yet You have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My sight.’ 13 Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, SHOW ME NOW YOUR WAY, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people.” 14 And He said, “MY PRESENCE WILL GO WITH YOU, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST.” 15 Then he said to Him, “IF YOUR PRESENCE DOES NOT GO WITH US, DO NOT BRING US UP FROM HERE. 16 For how then will it be known that Your people and I have found grace in Your sight, except You go with us? So we shall be separate, Your people and I, from all the people who are upon the face of the earth.” 17 So the Lord said to Moses, “I will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by your name . . .” Exodus 33 NKJV.

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: AND, LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAY, even unto the end of the world. Amen” Matthew 28:19-20.

NOVEMBER 2014: CHOOSE TO ENVISION YOUR TURNAROUND

November 3, 2021 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

NOVEMBER 2014: CHOOSE TO ENVISION YOUR TURNAROUND – YOUR CHOICE IS YOUR MAKING FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW!

God MADE the rich and the poor person, but God did not MADE THEM SO. People become what they are and not who they are by the CHOICES they MADE or they ALLOWED to be MADE for them, or had been MADE long before they came to the SHORE of life and grace.

If for example you chose to be corrupt or to elect a corrupt official, leader or government to be in governance, board of trustees of a business, company, entrepreneur or places not doing life including the CHURCH per se, you will LIVE by the CONSEQUENCES of it. This is not who you ARE but what you ALLOWED, and this is of CHOICE and not the MAKINGS of God. God will only COMMEND what He COMMANDS; and will ALLOW (PERMIT) what you ALLOW (PERMIT) to be, in that he had created man, placed him on the EARTH with a WILL, which is the POWER of CHOICE to DEFINE the ATMOSPHERE the man wants to see and embrace.

Therefore choose wisely by ENVISIONING the effects of your choice in LIFE and GRACE – GODLY LIVING in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

ENVISION The WAGON

November 3, 2021 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

ENVISION The WAGON – It’s When You ENVISION THE WAGON: You Will Be REVIVED As Jacob!

There’s no one who despises any HEALTHY OPPORTUNITY to rise above the norm. I am yet to find one. Let me know where I am wrong, I’ll humbly submit to corrections if you’ve known or found one.

When Jacob was told and pressured of the need to travel down to Egypt and see Joseph his once acclaimed dead son by his other children, he doubted their news. For, being that Joseph was alive, that beat his imagination and comprehension; and since he couldn’t have imagine or envision it real, he couldn’t BELIEVED them; especially when there’s already a supposedly shown living proof to him by his other children, that he was dead. This thus indicate, that sometimes in life, a mere shown proof you think you have seen and made to know, may be a mere fact, and does not necessarily present the truth in whatsoever to believe or and to rely upon, immediately and permanently. And if it was this days, they could have been a funeral certificate given to ascertain Joseph absence, in the family records as one being dead. This can explain what most dear parents who lost a child and couldn’t have their body to lay to rest in grace are going through. For such scenarios, it hurts and hunts them daily, for such absence over the years as I have come to meet few in such circumstances.

But when Jacob SAW the WAGON with the GOODNESS, ABUNDANCE and GOODIES accompanying the statement and request of Joseph by his doubted other children, his WEAKENED spirit-being, was REVIVED – that is to say – CAME ALIVE from the UNBELIEVING state of being to a BELIEVING state of being.

If you can give room to ENVISION God’s plans-Purposes-Pursuits in your life, the needed WAGON and ASSOCIATES to keep your faith and total being ALIVE, will come along. The needed grace of God’s BLESSEDNESS wherein you stand in faith on Christ Jesus stead will be activated with ease. This I know and understands very well, hence, I am emboldened to share with you likewise. In fact, your act of PRAYER life and FAITH life, will change for good and the best – I can say that to you emphatically and unreservedly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

The WAGONS and GOODIES that Jacob SAW revives him, to keep him alive and to make him take the next step or leap of faith to see his supposedly lost son Joseph. This is a far better place to be in life and grace in Christ Jesus stead; it’s far better to be with Jacob reviving WAGONS and GOODIES position, than to stay still in poverty and lack, shouting “I RECEIVE”, I RECEIVE”, “I RECEIVE” . . . for nothing, due to no act to see or envision the need to become well and whole again.

In this context, I don’t mean having a day DREAMING imaginations, but by ENVISIONING by the WORD. Joseph had a VISION of a gracious and graceful life years before it happens. And the Father Jacob by what he SAW – insights and foresights – of what his son Joseph sent along, helps him ENVISION the reality of a possible Joseph as told him by the children and affirmation to the ENVISIONED dream that Joseph shared to him and family years ago.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father, 26 and told him, saying, JOSEPH IS YET ALIVE, and HE IS GOVERNOR over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob’s HEART FAINTED, FOR HE BELIEVED THEM NOT. 27 And they TOLD him all the WORDS of Joseph, which he had said unto them: AND WHEN HE SAW THE WAGONS which Joseph had sent to carry him, the SPIRIT of Jacob their father REVIVED: 28 and Israel said, It is ENOUGH; Joseph my son is yet ALIVE: I WILL GO AND SEE HIM BEFORE I DIE” Genesis 45:25-28.

“. . . 5 And Joseph DREAMED (ENVISIONED) a DREAM (VISION), and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more. 6 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this DREAM which I have DREAMED: 7 for, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf. 8 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words. 9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me. 10 And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth? 11 And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying . . .” Genesis 37:1-36.

“. . . 16 Moreover he CALLED for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread. 17 He SENT a man before them, even JOSEPH, who was SOLD for a servant: 18 whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron: 19 UNTIL THE TIME THAT HIS WORD CAME: THE WORD OF THE LORD TRIED HIM. 20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free. 21 He MADE him LORD of his house, and RULER of all his substance: 22 to BIND his princes at his pleasure; and TEACH his senators wisdom. 23 Israel also CAME into Egypt; and Jacob SOJOURNED in the land of Ham. 24 And he INCREASED his people greatly; and MADE them STRONGER than their enemies. 25 He TURNED their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants . . .” Psalms 105:1-45.
