WORD OF GOD FOR TODAY

JANUARY 26
The Dream Factor – Part 2

Things did not work out well in Potiphar’s family for Joseph. Potiphar’s wife tried her best to divert Joseph from his big dreams but he refused and remained focused. She wanted to sleep with the young and handsome man to shut down his dreams but Joseph could not accept such nonsense. He was later imprisoned with all his dreams. Joseph suffered, slept poorly, fed poorly with all other prisoners but kept focused to his big dreams. All the physical, emotional and psychological suffering that Joseph went through while in prison did not change his big dreams. He remained focused and looked for opportunities in all these difficulties. He actually became a source of blessings to his fellow prisoners until his time to come out of the prison came to pass. He was released from the prison and achieved his big dreams after a period of more than 20 years.

It was Joseph’s persistence, endurance and trust in his God that kept him focused on his big dreams. He kept on the right track for several years until he achieved the big dreams of his life. He finally became the Prime Minister of Egypt and the saviour not only of his family members, but also of the whole Egyptian community. He became a powerful leader in a foreign country which is usually against the law. His parents and brothers came and bowed down to him as per his dreams. What a faithful God we serve! How big are your dreams? What are you going through? Dream big, keep the focus and persist. You never know one day you may become the Joseph of your family and country. Do not allow the hardships, discouragements and unfavourable circumstances prevent you from achieving your dreams.

Wise Saying

God can create something out of things that seems like nothing.
