When Joseph had dream it was seeds of greatness hidden potential, destiny encapsulated in a dream
(Genesis 37)
When he was hated, betrayed by his brothers, thrown in a pit, sold as a slave to Egyptians.
Then in Egypt, Joseph was accused, thrown into pit/prison, forgotten (Genesis 39, 40) that was birthing in the hidden places, building character, growing in the dark, just like the seed is buried and springs to life in the dark!!
Finally a small tiny leaf/life springs forth into the open ground. Showing signs of growth!!
Seed wasn’t dead buried!! It was breaking forth full of life!! Full of potential!! Full of power of multiplications!! Full of fruits!!
Galatians 5:22-23
The Passion Translation (TPT)
But the fruit produced by the Holy Spirit within you is
➔ divine love in all its varied expressions:
➔ joy that overflows,
➔ peace that subdues,
➔ patience that endures,
➔ kindness in action,
➔ a life full of virtue,
➔ faith that prevails,
➔ gentleness of heart, and
➔ strength of spirit.
Never set the law above these qualities, for they are meant to be limitless.
Galatians 5:22-23
Amplified Bible (AMP)
But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is
➔ love [unselfish concern for others],
➔ joy,
➔ [inner] peace,
➔ patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting],
➔ kindness,
➔ goodness,
➔ faithfulness,
➔ gentleness,
➔ self-control.
Against such things there is no law.
Story of Joseph ends in Joseph Being Made Ruler of Egypt (Genesis 41) from pit to palace, from pity to power filled with God’s character and nature empowered to rule Egypt!!
Don’t underestimate the power and potential of a SEED!! Greatness lies within that seed!!
