Topic — Securing Parental Coverage: A Key To Divine Wisdom [Saturday January 27th, 2018]
Scripture: And by a prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved. Hosea 12:13.
Thought For The Day: Parental blessings and goodwill are very crucial to living a life of impact and greatness.
It has been established that one way to walk in wisdom is walking with God. In other words, to walk with God is to walk in wisdom.
Previously, we also noted that one wisdom key that distinguishes people in life is always taking a stand against evil even if you have to stand alone.
Today, another wisdom key to an outstanding lifestyle is: always endeavour to secure parental goodwill and blessing.
By parental goodwill and blessing, I mean the goodwill and blessing of both biological and spiritual parenthood. Parental blessings and goodwill are very crucial to living a life of impact and greatness on earth.
Joseph rode on the wings of parental blessing and goodwill to secure his colourful destiny. It is important to know that Jacob was not just the earthly father of Joseph, he was also Joseph’s spiritual cover.
One of the reasons Jacob loved Joseph more than all his other children, apart from the fact that he was the son of his old age, was that he (Joseph) always brought the evil report of his brothers. That action of Joseph, which signified his stand for righteousness, pleased his father, Jacob. Joseph always did what the father wanted him to do, and so, he came under the spiritual cover of his father.
Joseph honoured and valued his father and his father’s word; he stood for what his father stood for. He had regard for spiritual cover.
A major difference between Joseph and his brothers was that he had the backing of his father. His father imparted him with a mantle in form of a coat of many colours. This coat of many colours that his father gave him was a prediction of his colourful destiny.
Remember This: Parental blessings and goodwill are very crucial to living a life of impact and greatness on earth.
