Many  miracles are happening but I believe this article will serve you more for you to understand that there is time for everything. Joseph was one of the sons of Jacob who were betrayed by his brothers. Joseph was one of the junior brothers when we compare him to his brothers.

As time went on, there was a famine in the land and because mankind can not survive without food, Jacob sent his sons to the nearby city to buy food. Although Joseph saw his brothers coming and he did not reveal himself for them to see him. As time went on, Joseph could not control himself before all those who stood by him, and he cried, " make everyone go out from me.

No one stayed with him when Joseph made himself known to his brothers. He wept aloud so that the Egyptians heard it, and the household of the pharaoh heard it. Joseph said to his brothers, I am Joseph, is my father still alive?
But his brothers could not answer him, for they were dismayed at his presence.

Joseph said to his brothers, come near to me, I pray you. They came near. Joseph said I am your brother, Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt. And now do not be distressed, or angry with yourselves, because you sold me here, for God sent you to preserve life.

For the famine has been in the land these two years, and there are yet five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvest. God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant on earth, and to keep alive for you many Survivors.

So it was not you who sent me here, but God, and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house and ruler over all the land of Egypt. Make haste and go up to my father and say to him, says your sons Joseph, God has made me lord of all Egypt, come down to me, do not tarry.

You shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near me, you and your children and your children's children, and your flocks, your herds, and all that you have, and there I will provide for you, for there are yet five year's of famine to come. Lest you and your household, and all that you have, come to poverty. And now your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see, that it is my mouth that speak to you.

You must tell my father of all my splendour in Egypt, and of all that you have seen. Make haste and bring my father down here.
Then he fell upon his brother Benjamin neck and wept, and Benjamin wept upon his neck. And he kissed all his brothers and wept upon them, and after that his brothers talked with him.

When the report was heard in pharaoh hose, Joseph brothers have come, it pleased pharaoh and his Pharaoh well. And pharaoh said to Joseph, said to your brothers , do this, load your beast and go back to the land of canaan, and take your father and your household, and come to me, and I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you shall eat the fat of the land.

Command them also, do this, take wagons from the land of Egypt for your wives, and bring your father, and come. Give no thought to your goods, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours. The sons of Israel did so, and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the command of the pharaoh, and gave them provisions for the journey.

Beloved, let's keep on visiting for more articles. May the good lord bless us. Thanks for being with us.
