Welcome to the living word of God in genesis chapter 37 we find the story of joseph and his brothers Jacob was a stranger in the land oh I tell you all of us are strangers here on our way to the kingdom of god but as strangers how are we living is the question I want to leave with you today
Joseph was a young man of 17 years old he was keeping the flock of his father I believe joseph was a very hard working man what about us what are we doing are we hard working are we obedient are we responsible and faithfully attending to the responsibilities assigned to us and while we’re attending to the responsibilities assigned to us in as much as Joseph while doing and taking care of the flocks with his brothers his brothers were not living life according to the expectation and to the standards and so joseph reported that to his father Jacob not with the intention to destroy them but with the intention and with the belief that his father would correct them and put them in the right paths what is your intention when your brother have made a mistake what is your intention
when you report about their evil deeds I believe and I hope that our intention will only be to save them and so you report it but the bible says his brothers hated them hated joseph for reporting about them oh brothers and sisters when you and I have made mistakes and it is being reported do you hate the one who reports about you let us not do so let us learn to introspect ourselves and yes if we have been wrong let us come to god and confess and repent god is willing to forgive oh but the brothers in the bible it says hated him and they could not speak kindly with joseph neither with the father what is our response when you have made a mistake do we confess and repent and make correction or do we get angry with the one who report brothers and sisters if you are the reporter report with the intention to save if you are the wrong doer change introspect and change and do not make the same mistake again may God bless us. Amen
