Dedication

I dedicate this book to all Christians who hunger and thirst for God’s word.

I also dedicate it to all who desire to make very few errors as they walk with Him and strive to fulfill their destinies.

May His grace see us through.

Foreword

Every generation has what God wants to bless it with and Wisdom Realms is one of the voices God is doubtlessly speaking through blessing and bringing the church to her core duty in our time.

In this time and era, God is calling us to learn from Joseph’s life experiences. Wisdom, experience, and knowledge are the greatest strengths in the course of one achieving vision or goals.

Others were there before you so their experiences are a great teacher to those who are yet to walk the same path they did in life.

That is the reason you need to read Lessons from Joseph’s life. It is no secret that many have failed and a lot are failing because they have no lessons to guide them to take the right decisions.

This book is a guide to fulfilling destiny tailored to encourage the discouraged and those who have lost hope or faith in themselves and in other people.

I have read this book and learnt some great lessons. Key among them is that a man is limited only when he allows himself and limitations come through self, not circumstances. I have also understood that God has a process He will take me through to make me His product.

I know the contents will inspire visions, dreams and put a smile on the faces of the sad because it did same for me. After reading it as a broken-hearted person, I felt God was directly talking to me. I felt I have deceived myself into sitting down in dismay and hopelessness seeing I am my own limitation.

I also came into contact with the truth that what we might be going through in life now that seems like storms are not distractions but experiences. For that reason, we must still hold on to our visions and ensure that we accomplish our purposes on earth.

Another powerful theme in this book is the fact that you should not be distracted by the enemies of destiny. Your life cannot be the same after reading it; trust me. God bless you as you study this book for deeper revelations. Enjoy the journey!

Introduction

A man cannot get to where God is taking him unless he learns from the experiences of those who have gone ahead of him.

That, beloved, is the reason the Bible presents us with various characters from whose lives we can glean knowledge to equip ourselves for our spiritual growth and nourishment and a better walk with God.

Joseph is one of those characters. God’s plan for him was set in motion when his brothers sold him to the Midianites as a slave (Genesis 37:28). His life and experiences are full of lessons from which we can draw strength and wisdom to help us to deal with the challenges and affairs of our daily lives.

Sometimes, people will not treat you fairly, but the truth is that it can be for your good at the end of the day. People may disappoint you, but it may be engineered by God to bring to pass His good plan for your life.

These and many more are the lessons we are going to learn from the life of the young man, Joseph. It is important you understand that there is nothing you are going through, or about to go through in life that others have not gone through already.

That is the reason the Spirit of God led His servant Solomon to pen this in his days:

The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 1:9

If there is nothing new under the sun, then we need knowledge and insight from the things that have previously happened in order for us to know how to handle them when they come our way.

In light of the circumstances, insight from God is needed to direct our actions. Thus, we must fulfill this scripture:

For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

Romans 15:4

Are you aware that all Joseph had when he started life were the dreams God gave him? Do you also know that his life experiences show that there is no problem on earth God has does not have a solution to in His word?

Any problem or challenge you will encounter, God has already provided a solution for in the Bible through His servants. Therefore, when you delight yourself in studying the characters in His word, you come into contact with the solutions for every challenge you will go through in life.

Through the life of Joseph, you will discover and learn truths that have stood the test of time – truths that will help you become a success in every area of your life.

As you read this book, I pray that the Spirit of God will minister to you personally and give you deeper insights to keep you on the path He has chosen for you.

Let what you read in this book bring you into an encounter with God.

May its contents come alive in your spirit, inspire and bring you into the realm designated for the great. May your understanding be enlightened to draw strength and wisdom from the presence of God.

Amen!

LESSON ONE

Bad experiences in life

CANNOT limit you if you do not limit yourself

– Genesis 37:18-36 –

The first lesson we can learn from the life of Joseph is that no matter what life deals to a man, he can still make it to his destined place in God.

We all go through various challenges in
