Lesson 396: JOSEPH: A STUDY IN DIVINE FAITHFULNESS: – PART 26; GENESIS 49:22-26

INTRODUCTION:
In the last part of this series, we examined the blessings of Israel on some of his children. In this concluding part of the series, we wish to look at the blessings as he pronounced on Joseph and the implications. May the Lord bless us richly as we study in Jesus name. Amen.

1. JOSEPH GOT THE GREATEST BLESSINGS OF ALL: THE BLESSINGS OF THE BREASTS
Of all the blessings pronounced by Jacob on his children, he reserved the greatest for his favourite son, Joseph Gen. 49:22-26. Not only did he heap on him the blessings of heaven above and blessings of the deep beneath, he also included the blessings of the breasts, which of course Ps. 23:1-2, means the blessing of Mummy’s breasts with its deep implications. Jer. 1:4-5; I Cor. 3:21-23; Matt. 6:11; John 14:14; Rom. 8:32; John 16:24; Ps. 103:1-5.

2. MUMMY’S MILK IS INEXHAUSTIBLE
The blessings of Mummy’s breasts are inexhaustible Gen. 17:1. included are growth from almost nothing to a big strong man, from a baby on a bloody soaked floor to the throne, from a nobody to a channel of blessing Ph. 4:19, Everything a child needs is in the Mummy’s milk. Luke 5:1-7; I Sam 2:8; II Sam. 7:18-20; John 6:5-14; Matt. 1:21; I Pet. 2:24; Ph. 4:13; John 1:4-5; I Pet. 2:2; Isa. 46:4.
