FAITH CAPSULE:<\/strong> Make the choice to abhor wickedness and not to sin before God.<\/p>\n

Genesis 39<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Joseph ostracized doing wickedness and sin before God. Genesis 39:9<\/em><\/strong> recorded Joseph\u2019s seeking of God, \u201c\u2026<\/em><\/strong>How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?\u201d What a man is doing before God continually will count and determine if a man seeking before God. Joseph was continually against wickedness and not sin before God. All great wickedness is not hidden from God.<\/em><\/strong> Wickedness does not escape in the eyes of God. Above all, great wickedness before God is having the word of God in the mouth but far from the mind. (Jeremiah 12:2) The onset of greatness wickedness towards Joseph is recorded, \u201cNow Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age. Also he made him a tunic of many colors.\u00a0<\/sup>But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peaceably to him.\u201d (Genesis 37:3-4)<\/em><\/strong> From junction of great wickedness of hate from Joseph\u2019s brother towards Joseph was great wickedness but God\u2019s mercy repeatedly answered for Joseph.
\nGreat wickedness was activated towards Joseph when:
\nJoseph\u2019s dream of greatness provoked his brother\u2019s great wickedness with attempt to kill him but later sold him to slavery which took him to Egypt. Joseph was not in position to do wicked in return to his brother\u2019s great wickedness but he found favor before God. In Egypt, Pharaoh\u2019s captain of the guard an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him down there. While Joseph was with his master Potiphar, the Lord was with him, and he was a successful man; his master saw that the Lord was<\/em> with him. While he was there, great wickedness located him when he refused to lie with his master\u2019s wife. Master\u2019s wife accused Joseph before the Potiphar saying, \u201cThe Hebrew servant whom you brought to us came in to me to mock me;\u00a0<\/sup>so it happened, as I lifted my voice and cried out, that he left his garment with me and fled outside.\u201d (Genesis 39:17-18)
\n<\/em><\/strong>Great wickedness of Master\u2019s wife accusation brought Joseph to prison. As he was in the prison, he interpreted dream which granted the attention to also interpret Pharaoh\u2019s dream. Joseph\u2019s interpretation of Pharaoh\u2019s dream promoted Joseph from prison to become Prime Minister of the whole land. All through Joseph\u2019s journey, there was no record of him responding to great wickedness with wickedness and God gave him favor. Joseph\u2019s brothers unknowingly, sought for food at Egypt in time of famine when they located Joseph but he received them by not paying back wickedness to his brothers. \u00a0Joseph left home at age seventeen and could not reconnected with his father at age thirty plus. Joseph was delivered from great wickedness all through his journey because there was no attempt of wicked vengeance from him. Joseph despised wickedness and not sin God; he continually served God.<\/p>\n
