The First Step Toward World Evangelization: Joseph Sold Into Egypt

 

Then God, even in the most extreme circumstances, will cause you to dream with His covenant to take the first step toward world evangelization. (from the text)
Then God, even in the most extreme circumstances, will cause you to dream with His covenant
to take the first step toward world evangelization. (from the text)


When you dream God's dream with the covenant He has given, God's providence will never change no matter what hiders you from your surroundings.  


Even in Joseph's most despairing moments, God's plan of salvation remained steadfast, and God's kingdom expanded through Joseph.  


Evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.


Reuben, who had thrown Joseph into the pit to kill him, became brazen-faced, got Joseph's robe, and dipped the robe in the blood of a goat, deceiving his father with lies that some ferocious animal had devoured him.  

He rationalized his actions and eventually lost his birthright as the firstborn.  


Judah, who sold Joseph for twenty pieces of silver out of greed for money, left his brothers and lived alone in a foreign land, only to face the sorrow of losing his two sons.  


When you desire money instead of pursuing dreams, you live soullessly for money, and money becomes your idol, turning you into a slave to money.  


When you become a slave to money, you use petty tricks like a loser, destroying relationships and ruining families.  


Those who belong to Christ Jesus must crucify the flesh with its passions and desires to bear the fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. 


God saved Joseph, who was sold for twenty pieces of silver as a slave, from the pit of death.

He led him to the house of Potiphar, the chief officer under the king of Egypt.  


God placed every blessing into Joseph's journey to Egypt, setting him on the path toward world evangelization.  


Remember the dream God has given us and continue the worship of meditating on His Word under the faith that God is with us. 


Then God, even in the most extreme circumstances, will cause you to dream with His covenant to take the first step toward world evangelization.  


(Genesis 37:25-36, 2 Timothy 3:13, Galatians 5:22-24)

The Thoughts of Re-Creation, The Secret to Becoming Lovable Before God and People

Image
The twelve-year-old Jesus was not an ordinary boy. As prophesied by the prophet Isaiah, Jesus was a shoot came up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch bore fruit upon whom the Spirit of the LORD rested – the Spirit of the LORD, the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD. He was the fulfiller of the covenant. Born from the bosom of God, the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. However, Mary and Joseph, after twelve years, lost hold of that faith and searched for Jesus for three days with worry, frustration, and irritation, captured by the thoughts of the flesh. Jesus, the remnant who grew in stature and wisdom and in favor with God, knew he must be in his Father God’s house, the place of grace. However, his parents, who had strayed from the place of the covenant and grace, could not enjoy the blessing even with Jesus the Messiah right beside them. The Virgin Mary, who once sa...

A Gospel Community of Worship Centered on the Covenant: 315 Nation

Image
The descendants of Jacob, who possessed the covenant, were fruitful and multiplied greatly and became exceedingly numerous, so that the land was filled with them. The genealogy of the covenant recorded by Moses is directly connected to God’s work of salvation. To be related to God’s work of salvation means to be headed toward the land of Canaan flowing with milk and honey, the land where the Messiah would come. Though Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation died, the Israelites who stood within God’s work of salvation and timing were greatly blessed according to God's promise to make them as numerous as the stars in the sky and the sand of the sea. When we worship centered on the covenant just as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob did, we will see evidence that we will increase and multiply by God’s method. This is the easiest way to overcome the world. We are not of the world, but are chosen by God. We are the remnants who carry God’s mission, the pilgrims who evang...

The Re-Creative Language that Transforms Our Thoughts Centered on the Gospel

Image
To love one another does not require much effort. If our thoughts are properly aligned with the gospel, we can love one another just as the Apostle John loved the elder Gaius. When we transform our thoughts centered on the gospel, we begin to speak the words of the gospel. The re-creative language Christians use brings prosperity to the soul, success in all things, and strength in health. "Beloved, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well." Elder Gaius, who walked in the truth, was a disciple of Christ with the image of one worthy to be called “Beloved,” and used the language of the gospel. The Apostle John’s record of Elder Gaius, Demetrius the witness of the truth, and Diotrephes the hinderer of the gospel was intended to show that the outcome of the walk of faith depends on whether we crush the serpent’s head in the name of Jesus Christ who came to destroy the devil's work. Elder Gaius walked in th...
