Joseph finds Favor

This teaching is based on Sunday School lesson for January 8, 2011.

This teaching is foundational. It is foundational for the salvation of this whole world. Elect believers need to have the real, original and accurate foundation for church planting, church growth, missions, discipleship, stewardship and other programs of the Church. Otherwise, believers will be drowned in the flood death now ruling souls, homes, churches and nations through superstition, syncretism, Gnosticism, half-twit mentality, etc. It is urgent that the Elect believers begin to cultivate the authenticity, originality, truth, righteousness, etc found only in the Mind of the Lamb of GLORY.
BASIC PROBLEM: - The enemy has succeeded in flushing churches with wrong Bibles. Virtually all the Bibles available were disconnected from the original Ancient Eden/African/Hebrew language and culture. For instance, we are studying “Joseph”. The Egyptians changed his name to Zaphnath paa neah (Genesis 41:45). What is his real name? Is it really “Joseph”? Or, is it “Yusuf”? Many Bibles in Nigeria have “Joseph”. This ensures that Bible readers do not prophesy accurately. We need to repent from sin; and follow the LAMB OF GLORY in possessing our Inheritance in all His accurate and authentic fullness.
WHAT IS THE TRUTH? – Look at the meaning of names. Look at the source of “Joseph”. See Genesis 30:1, 22-24 cf. 1 Samuel 1:8-20 and Isaiah 53:11; Galatians 4:19; Romans 8:22-27. What does that teach? It teaches “travail”. The travailing in birth that brings the Elect Son/s to glory is the summary of this lesson. What is the importance of this?
1. That is what the Everlasting Father wants. That is His Heartbeat.
2. That is what the whole creation is waiting for
The nations (both white and black) cannot be delivered for the present corruption until the Elect believers renounce every form of distraction, disobedience, delusion, etc and become partakers of the LAMB OF GLORY
WHAT IS THE TRUE NAME? – The name “Joseph” is supposed to mean “The LORD increases”. The Almighty wants a Body of believers with an ever increasing Anointing of Glory. Do you not want to be a partaker of this? You cannot be until you learn to prophesy this as accurately as possible. In Hebrew “Joseph” is “IYESUF”. “The LORD” is “IYEH”. The verb is “suf”; meaning “increase”.
Please learn to call on the Almighty and prophesy, preach, teach and sing His Name, Word, Plan, etc as accurately as possible.
GOLDEN TEXT: Genesis 41:38
This text teaches the following facts:
1. IYESUF has increased; and now ready to save others (even nations) from poison and famine
2. IYESUF has found favor; and is now ready to spread this favor to others.
3. IYESUF found the foundation. He resisted distraction, disobedience, delusion, deception, perversity, etc successfully.
4. IYESUF is a Testimony of the wisdom, glory and spirit of the Almighty. Even the principalities and powers of Egypt had to acknowledge this. Pharaoh called “Savior of the World”, “Abundance of Life”. He was not giving testimony about himself; it was others who WITNESSED the Divine glory in him.
5. IYESUF demonstrated real quality manhood. That is the real discipleship in the Scriptures: Men/women who shine forth with glory in character, attitudes, behavior having been taught by the Almighty.
6. IYESUF was not really “working for God” as many Christians say today. Rather, he allowed the Almighty to work IN and THROUGH him to save nations. This is a prophetic pointer to the discipleship on nationalities commanded by our Redeemer in Matthew 28:19, 20 and Ephesians 2:9, 10
7. IYESUF was a prophetic revelation of the Redeemer-Kinsman, the LAMB OF GLORY
8. IYESUF suffered in a PIT. He moved from a pit, through a PRISON to the PALACE. This prophetically speaks of the Divine POTTERY of the Elect believers being moved, renewed, remolded and transformed through the sufferings of the pit, the prison; and ultimately ending on the Heavenly Mount (Palace) Zion shinning with the eternal glory found only within the Everlasting Father-Son LIFE.

See Revelation 7:9-17; 14:1-5 for details.
