TOPIC: THE LANGUAGE OF FORETELLING YOUR FUTURE
TEXT: Genesis 37: 5–11
KEY VERSE: Genesis 37:8  And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.

The future of Joseph was revealed in some kinds of events, interactions and experiences in his life, which I term The Language Foretelling His Future. You will notice these also in your life in practical sense as you grow up and go through life experiences.

1. The Language of Special Love. Jacob loved Joseph (Genesis 37:3). Jacob’s special love for Joseph was a communication that something valuable was in him. By divine inspiration, Jacob was saying to Joseph, “I have received information that you will become somebody.”
2. Coat of Many Colours (Genesis 37:3). That is another language of Joseph’s future. Anytime Joseph wore this coat, he was different from his brethren. Jacob, the father was saying, “Joseph, this unique cloth you have is speaking of your future. It is a language of the future. The cloth will eventually perish, but the message this cloth is passing to you will abide forever.”
3. The Language of Undeserved Hatred (Genesis 37: 4). The hatred you experience from your brethren and from others, for reasons you cannot tell, and things you are not responsible for, is a message. Their hatred for you is speaking of your future, telling you that something great lies ahead for you. If you were nobody, they will not waste their time on you. Whether it is the language of love by your loved ones, or of hatred by your enemies, you should understand that it is a pronouncement of God about your bright future.
4. The Language of Special Dreams (Genesis 37:5-11). The future was involved in these dreams. Have you ever dreamt about your future? But sometimes Satan too can give you a dream spelling a dark future for you. Reject that dream and cancel it in Jesus name. Amen. The dream that God has given you is the one you shall pray and claim. Joseph’s future was described to him in a dream, in the language that he did not understand. Joseph was a small boy of 17 years old or maybe even less! God was telling this small boy of a great future. Do not underrate yourself when God is telling you about your future. Do not look at who you are now, “for the just shall live by faith.” Trust in God’s word alone. He that promised shall bring it to fulfilment. Amen.

Thought for the day: Understand the language of destiny and key into it.
Song for the day: Open my eyes O Lord
Bible reading for the day:

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
