Friday showers of blessings come from Genesis 37:1-8 "Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him all the more......... .......... His brothers said to him, “Do you intend to reign over us? Will you actually rule us?” And they hated him all the more because of his dream and what he had said."
This passage has some sad realities from vs 1. Joseph did not tolerate bad things, so he reported to his father Jacob what the brothers did wrong. Because of his integrity, Jacob loved Joseph more than his other brothers. This whole matter created hatred, Joseph's brothers hated him. GOD put Joseph in the plan for Israel to go to Egypt and gave him a dream. His brothers hated him more. Here are few things I am picking up from this passage which I said, they are sad realities.
1. If you have integrity, living a pure life, walking straight in life, you got exposed to hatred and rejection from corrupt people.
2. If you find undeserved favour before man, you will be hated.
3. If you find unmerited favour before GOD, you will be hated. This was Joseph's road but that did not stop GOD from fulfilling HIS plan with him. You might also be facing rejection and hatred from people around you; it pains but don't focus on that, look at what GOD is doing through you. Rejection and hatred is a sign that you are destined for greater things. Focus on GOD and HIS Will with your life. Amen.
Blessings and Shalom
