READ: Genesis 49:1-2, 22-26
“The BLESSINGS OF THY FATHER HAVE PREVAILED above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.” – Genesis 49:26
Joseph began to feel the presence of the curse quite early in life. He experienced hatred, rejection, slavery, poverty and imprisonment. These are definitely curses of frustration. Yet, Joseph overcame and annulled these terrible curses.
You can stop a curse in your life through the variety of blessings you receive. If your father gives you a variety of gifts, you would have been helped more than someone who received one little gift from his father. The many gifts you receive will help you prevail in life.
Joseph was fortunate because he received many unusual and unrelated blessings. The extraordinary blessings of the womb, the unusual blessings of the breast, the rich blessings of the deep and the amazing blessings of the heavens above. This cocktail of blessings lifted Joseph from the curse of prison and slavery. Through the many blessings that his father spoke over his life, Joseph became the famous prime minister we read about.
Hatred is a very painful thing to sense, and is a difficult thing to rise above. Rejection is an equally painful experience. Joseph was hurt, grieved and sorely wounded by his brethren (Genesis 49:23). He overcame and became the greatest person in Egypt, second only to Pharaoh. Joseph had indeed received a very strong blessing from his father. The blessings of his father had prevailed in his life.
Today, God has a solution for the hatred, the rejection and the many attacks and hurts of your life. The blessings of your father will prevail in your life. You are finally coming into the place of prosperity because of the blessings of your father. May your father find you worthy to bless you with such abundant blessings.
