Genesis 41:37-41 New International Version (NIV)
37 The plan seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his officials.
38 So Pharaoh asked them, “Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the spirit of God?”
39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you, there is no one so discerning and wise as you.
40 You shall be in charge of my palace, and all my people are to submit to your orders. Only with respect to the throne will I be greater than you.”
41 So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I hereby put you in charge of the whole land of Egypt.”

The above verses talk about how Joseph interpreted Pharaoh's dream for him leaving the latter so much enthused about him(Joseph). If you read from the beginning of this chapter, you get to understand that Joseph while in prison interpreted the dreams of two men-the chief butler and the chief baker. To their utmost surprise, the exact interpretation Joseph gave was what happened.

He( Joseph) told one of the men-the chief butler to remember him(Joseph) when he(the chief butler) gets to Pharaoh's court. Unsurprisingly, when the Chief butler was restored to his position, he forgot all about Joseph. It was until Pharaoh dreamt and couldn't find any free man in all of Egypt to interpret this for him, that was when the chief butler remembered Joseph in the prison. He explained to Pharaoh how Joseph interpreted his( the chief butler's) dream while he was in prison and how that was what exactly happened. Pharaoh troubled with this dream summoned Joseph to interpret his(Pharaoh) dream for him. After Joseph was done interpreting the dream for Pharaoh, being awed he decided to make him prime minister in charge of all Egypt.

What I'm I driving at? Joseph was a man that had gone through a lot. From being sold into slavery by his own brothers, to being accused falsely which ended him in prison, he never stopped trusting in God. You will agree with me if I said Joseph would have been logically right if he gave up on God. However this was a man that had put his all in the Almighty. He didn't lose confidence in the creator. He continued to look up to God. And God being A God who never fails rewarded him(Joseph) handsomely in due time. JOSEPH MOVED FROM BEING A PRISONER TO A PRIME MINISTER IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS. This beats human understanding. How can a man rise so quickly through the ranks of leadership to become a person of such high repute. This is only Possible with one person- our Lord Jesus Christ. He Is The Jehovah Jump Protocol. As He said in his Word, as the Heavens are higher than the earth, so are His ways higher than our ways and his thoughts Higher than our thoughts.
Beloved, what is your problem today, which situation do you find yourself that makes you think all hope is lost. I can't assure you how soon your redemption is going to come, however I can assure you that if a man's story could change from being a prisoner to a Prime Minister in less than 24 hours, then your story will not be any different. But that's only if you will still hold on and don't give up.
It's not over until you give up!
Once you have life, there's hope!
Don't Give up now!
YOU ARE ALMOST THERE!

Really motivational. Sometimes, we look track of what we really stand for when we face challenges. I am still learning to stick to my guts and principles(bible) upon challenges. Joseph was a man who never disrespected God even when he was falsely accused. If it were to be recent time Ghanaians, one might be tempted to easily curse God. I pray for the heart to always have patience and believe in God. Amen. Thanks for sharing this great excerpt

Very true, Inspite of all He went through, Joseph never compromised. I'm glad you liked it. As human we have a lot to emulate from this man Joseph
