Lesson 371: JOSEPH: A STUDY IN DIVINE FAITHFULNESS – PART 12

INTRODUCTION:
In the last part of this series, we saw how Joseph had to wait two extra years in prison because God has His timetable for everything. We also saw how dreams and dreamers were gradually punishing Joseph on to his goal. Today, as we continue our study, may God bless us richly in Jesus name. Amen.

1. FROM PRISON TO PALACE: FROM BONDAGE TO DOMINION
God sent two dreams to Pharaoh but concealed the meaning Gen. 1:26-28. Because Joseph was now ready to be ruler of the world. He had learn that God is All in All at last. He had discovered that he who would have dominion must conquer himself first. Gen. 41:14-57; Rom. 8:28; Pro. 17:2; Pro. 16:32; Pro. 25:28; Gen. 3:17-19; Gen. 25:29-34; Gen. 27:30-40; II Sam. 11:2-27; II Sam. 12:1-19; II Sam. 24:1-17; II Kings 5:20-27; Acts 1:15-20.

2. THE SECRET OF SUCCESSFUL DOMIION: THE HOLY SPIRIT
