Episode 32 of the Unplugged series. Full list of the topics covered on our website: jaef.foundation/problem-guide-jaef 

In this episode:

Suffering is no fun thing, we don't talk much about it or even dare to embrace it. Suffering as a Christian can seem ironic and unfathomable when you believe in the Almighty God (El Shaddai) with whom All Things are Possible and Nothing is Impossible. He who holds the key of David and can open doors that no man can shut and shut doors that no man can open. He who conquered sin, death and the grave! How can you have this much power available to you and still suffer? Even more demoralizing is how can this God who is Love allow you to suffer?

This is a sensitive subject and not often talked about in churches especially since we are living in the movement of the God of Breakthroughs...Not many people are talking about the God who will allow suffering, but from personal experience and understanding through scripture, there is suffering according to God's will and we have to embrace it and not run from it.

Here is what scripture says about this in 1 Peter 4:12-19 (KJV)

12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.

16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

Let's explore the dimensions of Suffering according to God's Will.

Episode 29 of Decoding Joseph. Everyday Life Biblical Principles: How God thinks about Work, Money, Business, Investing and Leadership. Full list of the topics covered on our website: jaef.foundation/problem-guide-jaef 

In this episode:

Some call it Good Luck or Bad Luck, but the Bible calls it "Favour and Love with God and Man"... or "The Blessing".  Whatever you call it, there is a force that can empower someone to walk through life without too much toil...that will cause things to happen in their favour and people to go the extra mile for them. Joseph had it - let's find out!

In this series:

We decode God’s thought processes and patterns - our case study is the life of Joseph. Like many of us, Joseph was born into a loving family - his father loved him but that resulted in envy and jealousy from his other siblings. From the outset, we see glimpses of Joseph’s character because scripture tells us in Gen 37:2 - "When Joseph was seventeen years old, he often tended his father’s flocks...But Joseph reported to his father some of the bad things his brothers were doing."

Based on the character trials we see Joseph overcome later on in his life, it’s inevitable to think that this statement; “...Joseph reported to his father some of the bad things his brothers were doing…” is some insight into how well-rounded and of good character Joseph was from early on in his life. He must have been the kind of employee every company would want and we clearly see this alluded to by how Potiphar (Joseph’s master - to whom Joseph was sold as a slave) can’t stop raving about his service, productivity, loyalty, obedience and problem-solving skills. Scripture tells us: “...And his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord made all he did to prosper in his hand…”

Lucky for Joseph, the hand of God (Blessing, Protection, Love and Favour) was on him as he encountered other unfortunate events in his life.

Joseph was wrongfully accused of rape by Potiphar’s wife and he ends up in jail. Even in jail, somehow once again Joseph rises to the occasion of impeccable service in jail and as a result, the prison warden who can’t help but notice his manner of service gives Joseph responsibility for his fellow inmates and their jail duties. While in prison, he exercises his gift of interpreting dreams for other inmates. Two of which happened to have been servants of the King - Pharoah. When Pharoah has terrible dreams he can’t interpret, Joseph is called to the rescue and this is his get-out jail card. Joseph rises to the occasion again, interpreting the two dreams - one forecasting seven prosperous years for Egypt followed by seven disastrous years of famine. Joseph not only interprets the two dreams but also gives Pharoah a backup plan - a SAVING and INVESTMENT plan.

Pharoah is blown away by Joseph’s wisdom and he elects Joseph as the second in command over all of Egypt.

Things exactly unfold the way Joseph had interpreted them - seven years of plenty and prosperity followed by seven disastrous years of famine - only Egypt has a plan to go through the famine. During the seven years of famine - while other economies are falling apart, Egypt is striving off Joseph’s plan to store 20% of all the food and grain during the seven years of plenty. Joseph builds a powerful economy during years of recession. From one valuable commodity (grain), he scales up Pharoah's empire by acquiring all the livestock and land. He then establishes a credit system, wage system and tax system. This story has it all!
