In today’s episode, Dr. Siohvaughn Funches continues the series, “Your Dream is Coming to Pass.” Dr. Funches recaps the message from last week and reminds New Covenant believers that this message — your dream is coming to pass — is a timeless, relevant, rhema message, word, and revelation from God. This is something you could listen to, time and time again and it would only do you good. God is faithful. He cannot lie. The Word of God is certain and sure. The blessings of God are not just for our benefit or the benefit of our loved ones at home but the benefit of everyone.
Dr. Funches looks at the life of Joseph in Genesis. As Joseph was prophesied in a dream to rule over them, his brothers jealously sold him into slavery to the Ishmaelites. Joseph was taken to Egypt but God repeatedly showed favor to Joseph, placing him in a position of power. Dr. Funches reviews the story of Potiphar’s wife accusing Joseph and causing him to be a prisoner. God continues to show favor to Joseph and he is promoted over all the prisoners. Joseph interprets the dreams of the butler and the baker but was kept in prison for two more years, until Pharaoh had troubling dreams and Joseph was summoned to interpret the dream. God gave the interpretation of the dreams and the solution to the upcoming famine to Joseph. Pharaoh promoted Joseph over Potiphar and the entire nation, under Pharaoh. God, in His mercy and grace, did that for Joseph. Dr. Funches explains that God’s blessings and promises can come to pass in an instant. Joseph later saved his own family and his nation with grain stored during the years of plenty.
God kept Joseph’s heart from bitterness, loneliness, and dismay. Listen in to hear how God will bless with power the New Covenant believers who believe Jesus.
KEY BIBLE VERSES
[4:15] Isaiah 55:10, 11, NKJV 10 “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater, 11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
[8:41] Mark 4:1–9, 13–20, NKJV 1 (read or listen to last week’s message.)
[18:17] Genesis 37:1–10, NKJV 1 Now Jacob dwelt in the land where his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan. 2 This is the history of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. And the lad was with the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives; and Joseph brought a bad report of them to his father. 3 Now 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. 4 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. 5 Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers; and they hated him even more. 6 So he said to them, “Please hear this dream which I have dreamed: 7 There we were, binding sheaves in the field. Then behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and indeed your sheaves stood all around and bowed down to my sheaf.” 8 And his brothers said to him, “Shall you indeed reign over us? Or shall you indeed have dominion over us?” So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words. 9 Then he dreamed still another dream and told it to his brothers, and said, “Look, I have dreamed another dream. And this time, the sun, the moon, and the eleven stars bowed down to me.” 10 So he told it to his father and his brothers; and his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall your mother and I and your brothers indeed come to bow down to the earth before you?” 11 And his brothers envied him, but his father kept the matter in mind.
