The bible introduces us to One of the young sons of Jacob, namely Joseph. Joseph was a birding young man of 17 years the son of Rachael the beloved wife of Jacob the brother of Esau.
The name Joseph according to the bible means Increase or Addition. A person with such a name has an inner desire to inspire others in a higher cause and to share their own strongly held views on spiritual matters.Typically, this describes who Joseph was
When he saw a dream he thought it worthwhile to come and share it with his siblings. But not knowing that his inspiration could lead him he dire trouble, he went ahead and shared a second one with his entire family. This is what broke the camel's back. And this is what leads us to the topic of today. Could it be possible that you are or may be in a pit?
What is a pit?
It is a deep down underground
It can be described as a place of destiny and forgetfulness.
I call it a dungeon
Why a pit?
A background about Joseph will suffice.
Joseph was the second last born of his mother Rachael
He was the beloved son of his father
To cap this love, his father gave him a coat of many colors that never augured well with his brothers.
He was blessed with great dreams that he was ready and willing to share
Joseph was endowed with great leadership skills as exemplified by his job as a shepherd boy.
All these added together contributed to a plot being hatched by his brothers who threw him in a pit and eventually sold him off to Egypt.
A pit is not a good place to be.It epitomizes the following:-
- It is meant to erase memories of the past
- It is meant to eradicate completely
- Removes competition or threat
- And helps secure one's place
