Genesis 36 & 37 (1)

Father God, God El Elyon, thank you for who You are. We come in agreement and we lift up Your holy name and say may name forever be exalted and magnified in all parts of the earth in the name of Jesus. May You give us understanding, revelation and increase our faith as we read and share today's Word in the name of Jesus, Amen. Thank you LORD.

Today's post covers both Genesis chapter 36 and chapter 37. In Genesis 36, we see the genalogy of Esau who was also known as Edom (Genesis 36:1). This chapter shows us his wives, their sons and their respective kingdom, chiefdoms and all their possessions.

Genesis 37 takes us back to Jacob, also known as Israel's household. It starts off with a seventeen (17) year old Joseph who presents bad reports about his brothers to their father whenever they went out to feed the flock (Genesis 37:2). Joseph was also his father's favorite and Jacob expressed his love by buying his son a coat of many colors (Genesis 37:3). This made his brothers hate him.

In Genesis 37:5-9, we see Joseph having dreams and in both dreams, his brothers were bowing down to him. These dreams increased the brothers' hatred towards Joseph. The first dream was; "There 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." (Genesis 37:7). Joseph's second dream was; "...Look I have dreamed another dream. And this time, the sun, the moon, and the eleven stars bowed down to me." (Genesis 37:9). When Jacob heard these dreams, he rebuked Joseph in the presence of his brothers but he kept Joseph's dreams in his heart (Genesis 37:10-11).

Invitation to salvation: I invite you to make this confession that invites you to new covenant that is found in the precious blood of Jesus Christ where we get to have a personal relationship with God, the Father and are kept safe in all of His blessings for His children:

"I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that; Jesus Christ, the Son of God came in a human body to die for my sins so that I could have a new life where I am dead to sin and alive to God. I repent of my past sins and enter the Kingdom of light where I choose relationship with Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour and with God as my loving Father today and forever." AMEN.

Congratulations, by grace you are saved and are now a new creation in Christ Jesus. The old life has passed away and you have received the free gift of salvation into your life (2 Corinthians 5:17) where you get to freely access everything I've shared in this post. To the glory of the Almighty God. Amen.

I'll end with this Word found in Psalm 34:7 AMP

"The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him [with awe-inspired reverence and worship Him with obedience], and He rescues [each of] them."

AMEN. Thank you LORD.
