QUOTE OF THE DAY: “WHAT YOU ATTACK, YOU CANNOT ATTRACT”
ANCHOR TEXT: “Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him all the more” Genesis 37:5.
Whatever you see working and flourshing in others; do not criticise and do not envy it. You are permitted to appreciate and desire whatever you see happening in someone’s life but not to castigate and pass unpleasant comments at it.
In this part of the world especially, we hardly commend achievements rather; we look for derogatory words to describe the good we see in others. What another has laboured to harness. The venomous vices of envy and jealousy have done more damage to individuals and to the society at large. It has robbed many of advancement and has kept them on the same level for years.
In Genesis 26, God so blessed Isaac to the extent that he found water wherever he dug, but the Philistines were not happy that he prospered. They envied him. Likewise Joseph’s brothers in today’s anchor scripture.
They envied their brother’s dream; that was not even a reality yet, hence all the evil perpetrated against him.
They did all at their disposal to truncate Joseph’s dream but unknown to them; God was the source of Joseph’s many dreams. Once God is your source; let everybody envy you, gather against you notwithstanding, you will keep progressing.
