"WHEN YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE"
I. GOD HAD GIVEN TO JOSEPH A DREAM WHEN HE WAS LIVING AT HOME WITH HIS BROTHERS.
A. His brothers were very jealous of Joseph because of their father's preferential treatment of Joseph.
B. The Bible gives us the story.
GEN 37:3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he [was] the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of [many] colours.
GEN 37:4 And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
GEN 37:5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told [it] his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
GEN 37:6 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
GEN 37:7 For, behold, we [were] binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
GEN 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.
C. When Joseph's brothers saw Joseph coming to them far from the security of him they said:
GEN 37:20 Come let us kill him, and cast his body into some pit and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.
D. When they sold Joseph to some merchants headed for Egypt, they no doubt thought that they would never see Joseph again, that they had crushed his dreams.
E. It is now 20 years later, and because of a famine in the land, and because they heard that there was a supply of grain in Egypt, ten of his brothers were sent to Egypt to buy supplies.
F. Little did they know that their brother Joseph was in charge of all of the grain in Egypt and that they would have to deal with him in order to buy grain.
G. When they came to Joseph, he recognized them, however they did not recognize him. He was only 17 the last time they saw him, and he is now 37.
