Lesson 357: JOSEPH: A STUDY IN DIVINE FAITHFULNESS – PART FOUR GENESIS 37:29-36

INTRODUCTION:
In the last part of this series, we saw how the plans of the enemy against a child of God can only push the child of God along the road to the fulfillment of God’s promise. Today, we want to see how what happened to Joseph fulfilled the law of harvest in the life of Jacob. May God bless us richly as we study in Jesus name. Amen.

1. PART OF THE FATHFULNESS OF GOD IS DEMONSTRATED IN THE LAW OF HARVEST
The history of Jacob is full of deception, fraud and causing others sorrows Hos. 10;12. How the deceiver is deceived and he who caused others sorrow now had sorrow caused him, this is because the Lord who made the law of harvest is a faithful Lord. Gen. 37:29-36; Gen. 27:18-38; Gen. 30:25-43; Gal. 6:7; Job. 4:8; Hos. 8:7.

2. IT IS BECAUSE OF THE LAW OF HARVEST THAT RESTITUTON IS SO CRUCIAL
Salvation brings forgiveness of all previous sins Acts 7:57-59. However, it is restitution that uproots the evil trees planted in the time of sinful living thus preventing them from bringing forth evil fruits for harvesting. Paul’s case is a classical example that the law of harvest still holds true even after conversation. Acts 26:20; Acts 8:3; Acts 9:1-2; II Cor. 11:23-27; II Cor. 12:7-9.
