FROM THE PIT TO THE PALACE
PART III
"I, Joseph, favourite son of my father Jacob, had another dream from God... It is the second dream God has given me in a short period of time... I wonder why that is... But, I am sure, both dreams will come true one day... I know that when I told my brothers my first dream, they were very upset with me...But I decided to tell them my second dream as well.... So I told them I had dreamed that the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.... It seems to me very clear that this dream is about my family bowing down to me one day... I thought they ought to know that this is going to happen... But my brothers do not agree with me... In fact, they are even more upset with me than before... But I have not done anything... I have only told them the truth.... It seems they do not like to hear the truth... I cannot imagine why they get so upset with me... Don't they understand that God has a special plan for my life?.... And that this plan includes my family bowing down to me? ... I wonder how and when that will happen.".... Please read the typed out attachment when you will learn of Joseph's second dream....

PART III
Having shared with his brothers his first dream, Joseph than shared with them another dream as you can read in Genesis 37:9
Then he had another dream and he told it to his brothers. "Listen," he said, "I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me."
Joseph, apparently, felt the need to tell his brothers not just his first dream but his second dream as well. This shows us that Joseph was far from ready to actually do what God called him to do so God sent him for some training. This was a training program that was tailor made for him to build godly character into Joseph's life.
Likewise, you may not as yet have seen happen in your life what you believe God has in mind for you and you don't understand why that is so. Very likely, that is because you need further training to be made ready for what God has for you to do. And it will be a training program specifically for you for God knows you and knows what needs to be done in you before He can work through you.
