Joseph mistakenly
told his father and brothers his dream and that triggered heavy hatred and envy
against him from his brothers in particular. You know he was so cherished by
his father, Jacob. Out of this hatred and envy, they stripped him off his coat
of many colours made especially for him from his Dad; his brothers cast him
into the pit and finally sold him off to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of
silver. We will be narrating the story of Joseph and his brothers as we proceed
in our daily Bible Reading; it’s sure an interesting story.
As Joseph was
sowing good seed into his brothers lives Matthew 13:24, they were busy concocting
evil against him. Yes, he went to the field to take their food to them when all
these evils as mentioned were visited upon him by the very same people he was
taking the food to. I don’t think he would have encountered this ugly
experience if he had refused to take food to them in the field. Little did
Joseph’s brothers know that Joseph was like that grain of mustard seed, that
would grow to save their lives from starvation, though he was the least among them
Matthew 13:31-32, Alleluia!
As we go further in this Bible reading
discussions, we will see how Psalms 10:18 answered in the life of Joseph
because at the end he was rescued from every oppression of his brothers, thank
you Jesus!
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, I have
come to realize that hatred and envy are spirits, please remove these spirits from
me, I want to live a life free from all these evils. Help me Lord I pray, Amen.
