ENVISION The WAGON

ENVISION THE WAGON: WHEN YOU ENVISION THE WAGON – YOU WILL BE REVIVED AS JACOB!

“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.

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. Not even the DEVILS will refuse such opportunities to BELIEVE as the scripture indicates that he does even BELIEVE too as written:

“Thou BELIEVEST that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also BELIEVE, and tremble” James 2:19.

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, the being that Joseph was yet ALIVE after years of being told he’s dead, that beat his imagination and comprehension; and since he couldn’t have IMAGINE and ENVISION it real, he couldn’t BELIEVED them; especially when there’s already a supposedly shown living fact proof to him by his other children, that he was dead. This thus indicate, that sometimes in life, a mere shown fact proof you think you have seen and made to know, may be a mere FACT only, and does not necessarily present the TRUTH in whatsoever to believe on 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 and family members who lost a child or loved ones and couldn’t have their body to lay to rest in grace are going through – silently in most cases. For such scenarios, it hurts and hunts them daily – especially for such absence over the years as I have come to meet few in such circumstances – in the cause of my Ministerial assignments in life and grace.

However, and when Jacob SAW the WAGON with the GOODNESS, ABUNDANCE and GOODIES accompanying the statement and request of Joseph through his other cowardice children on the errands, Jacob’s 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 plan, Purpose, Pursuit for your life, with the needed WAGON and ASSOCIATES to keep your faith and total being ALIVE, won’t you come along to take the opportunity’s? And, can you even see that the needed grace of God’s BLESSEDNESS wherein you stand in faith on Christ Jesus stead is always set to be activated with ease on your behalf? 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 if you can ENVISION – and I can say that to you emphatically and unreservedly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

The WAGONS and GOODIES that Jacob SAW REVIVED [QUICKENED] him, to keep him alive and to make him take the next step or leap of faith to see his supposedly lost son Joseph and to live for MORE years instead of hoping for death where there’s an opportunity to live. There’s 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 a no act to see or envision the need to become well and whole again – as SCRIPTURALLY given in God’s willed inheritance for you and all believing one’s, in Him, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

The Scripture of Ephesians 1:3 did say God has BLESSED us, meaning empowered is to succeed in His grace in Christ Jesus. More so, in 2 Peter 1:1-4, He has GIVEN us all things that pertains to ensuring this life doings and godliness [godly living], in Christ Jesus. Amen. However, this enabling of God, comes through knowledge and acknowledgement [envisioning], in order to bring it to fruition – reality, and to make it tangible in the grace. [Philemon 1:6.]. Therefore, it’s within us to envision God’s promised WORD in every context as it affects our life challenges, for it’s as we study the scriptures to know them, that’s when we are able to enact and authenticate them to reality in doing life and living godly in the grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

In this context, I don’t mean having a day DREAMING imaginations, but by ENVISIONING by the knowledge of WORD as it affects any context of question in our being. Joseph had a VISION of a gracious and graceful life years before it happens. And the Father Jacob who recalled of his son dream (envisioned) years before and by what he later SAW – the WAGONS – is enough to give him a clarity and clearer insights and foresights – by what his son Joseph sent along; the sent WAGON helps him ENVISION the reality of a possible Joseph as told him by the children; and the affirmation to the ENVISIONED dream that Joseph shared to him and family years ago.

I PRAY that your insights and foresights of a possible today and tomorrow might be ENVISIONED in your cause of doing life and living godly by God in Christ Jesus stead, Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Moreover THE WORD of the Lord came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, WHAT SEEST (ENVISION) THOU? And I said, I SEE (ENVISION) a rod of an almond tree. 12 Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well SEEN (ENVISION): for I will hasten MY WORD to PERFORM it” Jeremiah 1:11-12 (Emphasis Mine).

“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.

EXCELLENCE IS PURE

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 to some, 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, but 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.

An example of FRUSTRATING GRACE to rob one of EXCELLENCE in Christ Jesus stead is as this:

What happened to Reuben the first born of Jacob. Though born for an envisioned excellency to attain, he lost his place of blessedness to excel to his younger brother Joseph, for sleeping with one of His father’s wives in the SCRIPTURAL context as found in Genesis 49:1-4. 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 Patriarchal order of HEBREWS CHAPTER ELEVEN, you will noticed 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 first born 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.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK: Is it Scriptural true that it doesn’t matter what people do simply because God loves them? – Romans 6:1-4

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Moreover THE WORD of the Lord came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, WHAT SEEST (ENVISION) THOU? And I said, I SEE (ENVISION) a rod of an almond tree. 12 Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well SEEN (ENVISION): for I will hasten MY WORD to PERFORM it” Jeremiah 1:11-12 (Emphasis Mine).

“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).

“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.

“Unto the PURE all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled” Titus 1:15.

“I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with PURE CONSCIENCE, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day” 2 Timothy 1:3.

“Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a PURE heart, and of a GOOD CONSCIENCE, and of faith unfeigned: 6 from which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; 7 desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm” 1 Timothy 1:5-7.

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST, whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are LOVELY, whatsoever things are of GOOD REPORT; if there be any VIRTUE, and if there be any PRAISE, THINK on these things” Philippians 4:8.

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.

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?”

NOVEMBER 2014: CHOOSE TO ENVISION YOUR TURNAROUND

By 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

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:

“Moreover THE WORD of the Lord came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, WHAT SEEST (ENVISION) THOU? And I said, I SEE (ENVISION) a rod of an almond tree. 12 Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well SEEN (ENVISION): for I will hasten MY WORD to PERFORM it” Jeremiah 1:11-12 (Emphasis Mine).

“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.

Excellence Is Pure

Excellence Is Pure – Envision It!

Sometimes when I hear some so called Gospel Ministers and Christian faith believers say this: ‘It doesn’t matter what they do 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, 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.

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 inoperative and ineffective in my life.

Living example of frustrating grace is as this: That’s what happened to Reuben the first born of Jacob. Though born for envisioned excellent, 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 Patriarchal order of Hebrews chapter eleven, you will notice after Jacob comes Joseph instead of Reuben though he was his father’s excellency of dignity. That’s why you must be on guard on your envisioned excellence.

EXCELLENCE IS PURE! So, if you crave to have God’s good and best, watch your path of life to the envisioned excellence.

“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).
