Genesis 45: 1-15
Joseph Makes Himself Known
1 Then Joseph could no longer control himself before all his attendants, and he cried out, “Have everyone leave my presence!” So there was no one with Joseph when he made himself known to his brothers. 2 And he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard him, and Pharaoh’s household heard about it.
3 Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Is my father still living?” But his brothers were not able to answer him, because they were terrified at his presence.
4 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Come close to me.” When they had done so, he said, “I am your brother Joseph, the one you sold into Egypt! 5 And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you. 6 For two years now there has been famine in the land, and for the next five years there will be no plowing and reaping. 7 But God sent me ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant on earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance.[a]
8 “So then, it was not you who sent me here, but God. He made me father to Pharaoh, lord of his entire household and ruler of all Egypt. 9 Now hurry back to my father and say to him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says: God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me; don’t delay. 10 You shall live in the region of Goshen and be near me—you, your children and grandchildren, your flocks and herds, and all you have. 11 I will provide for you there, because five years of famine are still to come. Otherwise you and your household and all who belong to you will become destitute.’
12 “You can see for yourselves, and so can my brother Benjamin, that it is really I who am speaking to you. 13 Tell my father about all the honor accorded me in Egypt and about everything you have seen. And bring my father down here quickly.”
14 Then he threw his arms around his brother Benjamin and wept, and Benjamin embraced him, weeping. 15 And he kissed all his brothers and wept over them. Afterward his brothers talked with him.
Take aways:
1. Tanan nga malain nga nagkalatabo sa aton kinabuhi may ara dako nga rason.
2. Si Jose gin traidor sang iya mga utod pero wala siya naakig, kay kabalo siya nga gintugot ato sang Ginoo para sa isa ka dako man nga rason.
3. Kung wala siya gn baligya sang iya mga utod, wala siya nakalab ot sa Egypt, kung wala siya na priso wala niya nakilala ang Pharaoh, kung wala siya naging gobernador wala tani may mabaligya pagkaon sa iya mga utod.
4. Gin gamit iya mga utod para sa pagpatuman sa dako nga plano sang Ginoo sa kabuhi ni Jose.
5. Ang betrayal may ara purpose, so instead of focusing sa bad side let us look for the good side.
May plano ang Ginoo, salig lang indi ta pa man makit an subong. One day mag manifest ini sa aton kabuhi, kag makapasalamat kita nga natabo ina.
Lord salamat sa mga problema kay sa likod sina dako nga pagpakamaayo.
Be Jose nga kaya malampuwasan ang tanan nga trials nga natabo sa iya kinabuhi.
All things work together for good for those who trust Him as father
