CLEAR MIRROR IN JOSEPH IBD

Sinopse

The book Clear Mirror in Joseph is all about how God wants to show you, through Joseph',s story, what is true and equip you to live for Him. In our zeal for the truth of scripture, we must never forget its purpose: to equip us to do good. When you read this book along with the passages quoted or referred to, the lessons will reflect in your lives because the study of the Word is our only source of knowledge of how we can be saved. It is our safeguard against false teaching and our source of guidance for how we should live. As you read Clear Mirror in Joseph, perhaps you can identify with one or more of his hardships or successes, then emulate him and decide to trust God, no matter what happens. All the temporal things in life must be seen in light of the eternal. Take note of what Joseph did in each situation that came his way. He made sure nothing prevented him from staying on track. He rose in power from slave to ruler in Egypt. He was a man of spiritual sensitivity and was known for his personal integrity. His personal knowledge of God and commitment to live for Him were important to him. This allowed him to survive and prosper where most people have failed. He won the heart of everyone he met: Potiphar, the jailer, other prisoners, the king, and, after many years, even those ten brothers (who sold him). The experiences in Joseph',s life taught him that God brings good from evil for those who trust Him. Do you trust God enough to wait patiently to bring good from the bad that happens to you? You can trust Him, as Joseph learned, that He can transform evil into good. The most effective leaders spoken of in the Bible had the same characteristics of trusting God.Comfort Aduke Olayinka
