Lesson 364: JOSEPH: A STUDY IN DIVINE FAITHFULNESS – PART 9

INTRODUCTION:
In the last part of this series we discovered why adulterers are doubly dangerous. We also saw that if we wish to reach our goal, we must control our tongues. Today, as we continue our study on Joseph, may the Almighty bless us richly in Jesus name. Amen.

1. GOD’S TRAINING PROCESS CAN BE UNUSUAL AT TIMES
If you find yourself falsely accused or the motive of your actions is misunderstood, do not let that weigh you down Gen. 39:13-23; Pro. 18:13; Acts 5:41; Matt. 5:10-12; II Cor. 1:3-4. It is one of ways through which God prepares His vessels unto Honour.

2. IN THE PRIMARY SCHOOL OF GOD YOU MAY WEAR A FANCIFUL COAT; NOT SO IN HIS UNIVERSITY.
Joseph was once wearing a coat of many colours. But that was in his “primary” days.
I Sam. 22:1-2. by now he was in the “university” of God his dress was prison uniform that is God’s pattern. Ask Moses, David, Elijah and Others. Joseph stuck it out with God and prospered. You be like Joseph and you will prosper too. Exo. 2:10; Exo. 3:1; I Sam. 16:22-23; I Kings 17;1; I Kings 17:2-6; Acts 8:26-29; Pro. 16:7; Ps. 106:46.
