An upright character is of greater worth than the gold of Ophir. Without it none can rise to an honorable eminence. But character is not inherited. It cannot be bought. Moral excellence and fine mental qualities are not the result of accident.

The Brothers of Joseph return to Egypt.

Joseph's brothers sold Joseph as a slave, and they were fearful that God designed to punish them by suffering them to become slaves.

Joseph carried his religion everywhere, and this was the secret of his unwavering fidelity. It's also evident that Men Recognize a Living Connection With God.

The review from Genesis 21 - 40.

Joseph carried his religion everywhere, and this was the secret of his unwavering fidelity.

Joseph illustrates Christ. Jesus came to His own, but His own received Him not. He was rejected and despised, because His acts were righteous, and His consistent, self-denying life was a continual rebuke upon those who professed piety, but whose lives were corrupt. Joseph's integrity and virtue were fiercely assailed, and she who would lead him astray could not prevail, therefore her hatred was st...

When Judah saw her, he thought she was a harlot, because she had covered her face.

Joseph's brothers rudely repulsed him. He told them his errand, but they answered him not. Joseph was alarmed at their angry looks. Fear took the place of joy, and he instinctively shrank with dread from their presence. They then took hold of him violently. They taunted him with the admonitions he had given them in the past, accused him of relating his dreams to exalt himself above them in the min...

Esau and Jacob had alike been instructed in the knowledge of God, and both were free to walk in His commandments and to receive His favor; but they had not both chosen to do this. The two brothers had walked in different ways, and their paths would continue to diverge more and more widely. Since the brothers differed so greatly in regard to religious faith, it was better for them to dwell apart.

Jacob was humbled, and required his family to humble themselves, and to lay off all their ornaments, for he was to make an atonement for their sins, by offering a sacrifice unto God, that He might be entreated for them, and not leave them to be destroyed by other nations. God accepted the efforts of Jacob to remove the wrong from his family, and appeared unto him, and blessed him, and renewed the...

The beginning that led to results so terrible was the act of Jacob's daughter, who went out to see the daughters of the land, therefore venturing into the association of the ungodly.

Jacob “had power over the angel, and prevailed.” Through humiliation, repentance, and self-surrender this sinful, erring mortal prevailed with the Majesty of heaven. He has fastened his trembling grasp on the promises of God, and the heart of infinite love could not turn away the sinner's plea.

As Laban's daughters are journeying at a great distance from him, and their interest is to be entirely separate from his own, he would guard as far as possible their happiness. Laban would not have Jacob bring still greater unhappiness upon himself and upon Leah and Rachel, by taking other wives.

The Law of God is righteous, His charge is just and will only bring peace into the home.

Are we seeing a real time fulfilment of the quote 'What goes around, comes around'? Let's examine Jacob's experience at Laban's home together. 

The way He dealt with man in the past is the same way we should expect Him to deal with us today since He is the same Today, Tomorrow and Forever.

Jacob thought to gain a right to the birthright through deception, but he found himself disappointed. He thought he had lost everything, his connection with God, his home, and all, and there he was a disappointed fugitive. But what did God do? 

A parental guide for Man and his Wife.

Unlike the widespread anticipation of merits from God without playing a part on our own end, we hear from the lips of The Creator the requirements that must be met before we receive from Him.

Esau represents those who have not tasted of the privileges which are theirs, purchased for them at infinite cost, but have sold their birthright for some gratification of appetite, or for the love of gain.

Here we see the influence of righteous Abraham on his household. Man learns by example and we saw that the servant of Abraham learnt from his master; he learnt to pray, he learnt how to ask, he learnt faithfulness and many good things from his master Abraham. 

Have you found yourself in life circumstances that are similar to that of Abraham? Has your loyalty to your Creator been tested? What crossed your mind? Did you DO the will of God?

This act of faith in Abraham is recorded for our benefit. It teaches us the great lesson of confidence in the requirements of God, however close and cutting they may be; and it teaches children perfect submission to their parents and to God. By Abraham's obedience we are taught that nothing is too precious for us to give to God, Contact: +2348179463081.
