So, as I spent some time with the Lord.

Asking for what message do I speak to you, guys,

I felt he clearly say, did he come?

That you are not forgotten?

Look Pakan.

I felt him say, you are not forgotten the g

I a church, you are not forgotten. That looka sama raang,

you are not forgotten. And so I was reminded of

the story of Joseph in this than.

Yusuf.

Who knows the story of Joseph.

Seven Yusuf, Yeah, put your hands up higher if you

know the story of Joseph.

Amazing.

So the story of Joseph is told in Genesis thirty

seven to forty one did he? And tonight we're going

to look at the story of Joseph.

Did you mona mini Hauf.

And talk about what Joseph might have wrestled with and

how that relates to you and me. Then we're going

to learn about God in this experience. And two things

that I want to highlight about Joseph's story. Then there

is purpose in the pain.

And to never give up. So let's talk about Joseph.

Did he make it that jo BAHAs or al Yusuf.

He was one of twelve sons born to Jacob did Deael.

Jacob is also known as Israel, and he is one

of the fathers of our faith.

Did he and and a few he points about Joseph's life.

Then he was favored by his father Bod and therefore

his brothers resented him for that.

Thenida, I want you to imagine.

Sikhan, your father giving beautiful gifts to your brother, but

not you. All while you had to work for your family.

Your brother or sister was given an education. This is

what Joseph, the favor he experienced in comparison to his brothers.

Then in Man.

And the Bible uses the words, then Joseph's brothers hated

him Bida and could not speak a kind word to him.

Then are Yusuf, imagine you feel isolated because you desire

a relationship with your family, but instead are treated harshly.

Or imagine being a favorite one like Joseph, I thought.

Genesf and maybe this makes you feel better than the others, then.

Gives you a sense of pride masa ban.

Ultimately, this led to Joseph's brothers selling him into slavery,

and they lied to his parents about this then and

said Joseph had been killed by animals. But Joseph was

sold to an Egyptian official named Potiphar.

Tuhan mom Potiphone.

Joseph became disconnected from his family, and I wonder if

Joseph thought about whether his family would forget him. But

we learned that despite this situation, Yusuf the Bible says

that God was with Joseph and prospered him. Mande Genesis

thirty nine says the blessing of the Lord was on everything.

Potiphar had potiphone both in the house and in the field.

Because Joseph was in charge Kana Yusuf, Potiphar did not

have to worry about anything.

Pagan a lanius layne.

The only thing that he cared about was the food

he ate salain. Everything else he did not worry about

because the Lord was had his favor on Joseph did.

Potif in Alan Yusuf Ganba.

But we learned that Joseph was thrown into prison, that

he was falsely accused.

Then Deir di Salakansalanda, he was accused of assaulting pot

of his wife, then sexual Katia.

But even in prison, the pun Genesis thirty nine, verse

twenty one.

Says milan Aa, the Lord was with him a usof

the Lord showed Joseph kindness.

Kopada Yusuf and granted him favor in the eyes of

the prison warden, then.

Yusuf, and even in prison.

Then Joseph was put in charge it Manjetikopala.

Joseph prospered in the prison.

Then use of Itaga, and while in prison, Joseph used

God's gift of interpreting dreams to predict that the king's

chief cut bearers released from prison and the chief Baker's death.

Then guitar u Miniman than Jutias.

And when this dream came true, Joseph said to the

chief cut bearer, when all goes well with you, remember

me and show me kindness.

Katikabas, mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of

prisonbas I was forcibly carried off the land of the Hebrews.

And even here I have done nothing to deserve being

put in a gun in a dungeon. You can feel

Joseph's sufferings in these words. Joseph is desperate to not

be forgotten.

He is desperate for freedom.

Mention me to Pharaoh, he says, But.

We learned that only after two full years. Then get

thoun that his chief cut bearer remembered josephs And this

was because God had given Pharaoh a dream that greatly

troubled him. Then, I figure and all the wise men

in Egypt could not interpret his dreams.

Then, so Joseph could have been angry and resenting God.

Then why would he allow this suffering?

But instead, Joseph chooses to give all the honor and

glory to God for interpreting Pharaoh's dream. Mimbi, I want

to ask, are you in a place right now where

you feel forgotten? Pos Maybe you were like Joseph and

have been a victim to unfair circumstances the USA.

Maybe you feel anger or shame. We know that Joseph

was seventeen years.

Old, ysless down.

When he was sold into slavery, body blessed out, and

around thirty years old, then bless La Manya when he

was released from prison.

Then finally then Ahiya.

God continued to prosper Joseph hunt Yusuf and he became

the second in charge of Egypt.

Then DIMDIMUSIV, whom God used to save both Egypt and

Israel from famine. Ya make Yusuf Israel and Klara pagan.

So let's go deeper than make it. Joseph was in

an unfair situation. But Joseph was failed by his brothers,

dear the he was failed by Potiphar. Did you go.

And by the king's chief cup bearer?

Then maybe some of you feel like God failed Joseph.

Maybe Joseph wrestled with that then munkin Yus. Maybe Joseph

felt forgotten by God in prison.

Maybe he felt.

God's favor was actually a curse because it led to

his betrayal Kana and maybe his family married more to

him than God. Maybe you you have been heard by

your circumstance, by your family, and you feel forgotten in life.

I'm going to share as a testimony.

Now testimony and.

He's doing a great job keeping up.

In twenty nineteen, I received a prophetic word from my

pastor jed, some of you might have met him before

Gary who's come and visited did he. I was asking

him about his experience with the prophetic did because he

often gives a prophetic word to people during his messages,

and he was sharing how in his last message he

felt he had a prophetic word to give then, dear,

but felt not to share it in that time.

Pim Uhagan.

Immediately, in my spirit, I knew that this word was

for me.

Then Comodi did.

So I asked him what was the word he got then?

And he had a date. So I asked him what

the date was, and it was my date of birth,

the twenty eighth of August.

Nineteen ninety eight. La So I said, this is for me,

and he said, hold on.

There was also a word that he got.

He said he saw the letters in front of.

Him, so he spelt it out to me. THENRI see

I E C C H I.

E E a double l O L l O and

he said, I think it's a place uh. I said, no,

that's my mom's maiden.

Name, then Ma Panganga.

So my mom is Italian and so her name is

very hard to pronounce. So this confirmed that the word

was for me.

Con He shared a few things things about me, and.

One thing was that God had prevented certain relationships.

In my life as it would have been a distraction.

Then rather I was being called for something else. You see,

I had grown up in a community of Christians.

Thenristan, where sadly, there was lots of competition, some jealousy,

some pride in what you wore and who you'd spend

time with, and this made me struggle with rejection than.

Feelings that I wasn't good enough.

But this word allowed me to know that what God

wanted me to really know that He had seen my

difficulties with relationships, but.

There was purpose in that.

There was purpose in that pain, and that my focus

wasn't to be on all the people around me then

for but to keep my eyes on God. And this

gave gave me assurance that God directs my steps, but

not looking to other people. We can't avoid tough situations,

but God gives us the grace to get through them.

So I encourage you do not put your hope and

fear in people, but hope and fear in God, because

when people may forget you, God never forgets you.

God created you. Luke twelve vers.

Four to seven says a bless I tell you, my friends,

do not be afraid of those who kill your body.

Money, and after that can do no more.

Then, but I will.

Show you who you should fear.

Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has

authority to throw you in hell.

Mouth.

Yes, I tell you, fear him. Are not five sparrows

sold for two pennies.

Penny?

Yet not one of them is forgotten by God?

The Bible says, not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed,

the very hairs on your head our own numbers. Don't

be afraid. You are worth more than sparrow. The next

thing we learn, then, God never changes. God is the

same yesterday, today and forever.

God's name is yahweh.

Nahue, which means I was who I was, young man,

I am.

Who I am, and I will be who I will be. Then,

Philippians one.

Verse six says, so that Philippos Philip.

Be confident kin that he who began are working you.

But young Mamala is a good work in you will.

Carry it on until it is completed. We can see

that God's favor was on Joseph his whole life. God

fulfilled the promises of his dreams and tuhan given to

him when he was seventeen years old. And maybe you

have dreams, then know that God will fulfill them.

Then and only God will fulfill them.

Maybe we can be so focused the focus on the

pain of our situation and we cannot see how God

is working around us.

Then did the.

Grace he has given us.

To prosper in all situations mal my my juk So

we learn that there is purpose in the pain. Joseph

was placed in charge of Potiphar's house, the prison, the pandega,

and ultimately Egypt. Joseph could have never foreseen this, then

could he have handled his responsibilities without this journey? Think

about the prodigal son then, an young who squandered his

father's inheritance young langs. But John fifteen, verse one to

two says, honestly, my blas i jesus Aku Jesus am

the true vine, and my father then is the gardener.

He cuts off every branch in me, the mamma that

bears no fruit. Well, every branch that does bear fruit

more he proves, so it.

Will be even more fruit.

So even in the beauty, it is not easy.

Because he prunes that but produces more fruits.

So maybe through our journey, God is dealing with pride,

maybe greed, course desire for attention, a work space, mentality.

Focused on work all the time.

Ocus.

But Romans two vers.

Three to four says, we have glory in our sufferings.

Because we know that suffering.

Produces perseverance, perseverance, character and character, hope and hope. Then

Hagapan does not put us to shame. So it is

okay to feel the pain, to feel the hurt, But

how do we respond? Does it draw us closer to

God or away from him? Joseph was placed in charge

of Potiphar's house, the prison, and ultimately Egypt. When we

are steadfast and responsible with the small, but then we

are given responsibility with the big. Like Joseph didn't know

the end.

Of his small beginnings Thereami.

But God had already planned it out, So never give up.

Despite Joseph's circumstances, he consistently chose to honor God and konish.

This was seen when he was tempted by Potiphar's wife.

Then in.

The Bible says he dared not sin against Potiphar's wife,

but he dared not sin against godhan that.

He would not even be with her. Joseph also then

use of juga was ready to be used by God.

In prison, in his desperate situation, he still recognized the

opportunity to be used by God. He he sorry, I

forgot what I'm not to. He said to Pharah regarding

an interpretation of his dreams. I cannot do it, but

God will give you what you deserve. So put your

hope in and trust in God Almighty. Some twenty says,

some trust in chariots, some trust in horses, but we

trust in the name of the Lord our God that becoming.

Some trust in money, some one, some trust in status,

some trust in education, but we trust in the Lord

our God. To Corinthians, says, mind, my grace is sufficient

for you, for my power is made perfect.

In weakness.

Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses,

so that christ power rests on me.

This is why, for Christ's sakesto, I.

Delight in weakness, in insults, did in hardship, in persecution,

in difficulties. Then, for when I am weak, then I

am strong Some one or three Verse four says the

Lord Allah redeems your life from the pit Mambawa and

crowns you with love and compassion. Then then, so to

conclude the Despite the life Joseph lives did the with

betrayal by his own family, falsely accused, put in prison pera,

his good deeds not remembered, Joseph remained faithful to Godhan.

In fact, Joseph named his firstborn son Manessa Manashe meaning Yti.

It is because God karat Hanla has made me forget young,

all my trouble Sama, and all.

My father's household.

And his second son, then Diana, he named Fraimana.

It is Becausehan God has made me fruitful Kauhan in

the land of my suffering. So when you feel forgotten

by people unfairly treated na Bai, know that God has

not forgotten you. Know that God is faithful. When you

look at him, you will forget all your trouble. Know

that God works all evil for good, And like Joseph

that's yourself, He will make you fruitful. To finish with

some twenty seven, he must verse thirteen to fourteen.

I think a bless bless must blass, it says.

Remain confident of this y I will see the goodness

of the Lord and Allah in the land of the Living.

Aren't you wait for the Lord? Be strong, deady luck

and take her and wait for the Lord.

Amen.

Amen.
