11
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:50.799
<v Speaker 2>And welcome to this edition of the Fuel for the

12
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:52.960
<v Speaker 2>Soul with John gift of podcast where I'm going to

13
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:56.640
<v Speaker 2>talk to you today on the aspect of addressing your

14
00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:01.359
<v Speaker 2>issues and concerns. Want to talk to you and share

15
00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:03.399
<v Speaker 2>a principle with you. Oh, when we think about this

16
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:08.920
<v Speaker 2>moment when in Genesis thirty nine, Joseph has taking us

17
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:12.400
<v Speaker 2>a slave into Potiphar's house and he's staying there, and

18
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:15.200
<v Speaker 2>the Potiphar sees the hand of God upon Joseph's life

19
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:19.159
<v Speaker 2>and puts him in charge of everybody and everything except

20
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:21.879
<v Speaker 2>Potiphir's wife. But here's the thing. I want you to

21
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:28.239
<v Speaker 2>understand that. Now Joseph was well built and handsome, and

22
00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:32.560
<v Speaker 2>after a while he is my Potifir's wife noticed Joseph

23
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:35.719
<v Speaker 2>and said, come to bed with me. But I'm reading

24
00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:38.680
<v Speaker 2>from verse seven onwards. Okay, So when you look at

25
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:41.959
<v Speaker 2>verse eight, he says, he refused. He said, with me

26
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:45.640
<v Speaker 2>in charge, my master does not concern himself with anything

27
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:48.719
<v Speaker 2>in the house. Everything he owns he has entrusted to

28
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:51.480
<v Speaker 2>my care. No one is created in this house than

29
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:54.840
<v Speaker 2>I am. My master is with her, nothing from me

30
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:58.439
<v Speaker 2>except you, because you're his wife. How can I do

31
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:02.040
<v Speaker 2>such a wicked thing sin against God? This is what

32
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:05.120
<v Speaker 2>Joseph is saying. Right, he's saying, you know, I'm not

33
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:07.560
<v Speaker 2>going to do this. He's bold. And he also says,

34
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:10.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm not just doing this. If I do all, I

35
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:12.919
<v Speaker 2>admit to the sin. I'm not just doing this against

36
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:15.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, your husband, I'm also doing it against God.

37
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:18.919
<v Speaker 2>So he knew that God was with him. He was

38
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:22.360
<v Speaker 2>mindful of God. And just think that I wanted to

39
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:24.719
<v Speaker 2>pay attention to words stay and it says, and though

40
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:28.520
<v Speaker 2>she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to

41
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:32.039
<v Speaker 2>go to bed with her or even be with her, Okay,

42
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:35.840
<v Speaker 2>and then eventually one day when nobody was there in

43
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:37.879
<v Speaker 2>verse eleven on once you see that she caught him

44
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:40.240
<v Speaker 2>by his cloak and said, come to bed with me.

45
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:43.639
<v Speaker 2>But he left his cloak in her hand, and he

46
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:46.800
<v Speaker 2>ran out of the house, right, and he gets into

47
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:50.400
<v Speaker 2>trouble where she wrongly accuses Joseph and then he's put

48
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.240
<v Speaker 2>in prison. Now, God used all of this for good,

49
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:55.680
<v Speaker 2>like to take him out of forty us house so

50
00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:57.800
<v Speaker 2>that he doesn't remain a slave the rest of his life,

51
00:02:58.000 --> 00:02:59.639
<v Speaker 2>so that he would go to the next level of

52
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:03.319
<v Speaker 2>his death the need. But there's a principle here. It

53
00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:07.560
<v Speaker 2>says that she spoke to Joseph day after day, but

54
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:10.560
<v Speaker 2>he refused to go to bed with her. See, it

55
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:14.560
<v Speaker 2>didn't happen suddenly, right, It was something that she constantly

56
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:21.840
<v Speaker 2>constantly tried with Joseph, and one day, when nobody was around,

57
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:26.159
<v Speaker 2>she just took the opportunity to you know, hit on him. Yes,

58
00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:31.599
<v Speaker 2>the thing, right, I think Joseph should have addressed the issue,

59
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:37.159
<v Speaker 2>addressed the concern when she started this, started doing this

60
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:39.919
<v Speaker 2>like right from the beginning. Like it says that she

61
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:43.879
<v Speaker 2>kept doing this day after day, and eventually one day

62
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.000
<v Speaker 2>she just you know, realized no one was around and

63
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:49.199
<v Speaker 2>took it into took mattress into her own hands, right,

64
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:54.240
<v Speaker 2>and ended up putting Joseph in trouble. And maybe today

65
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:56.400
<v Speaker 2>one thing that we can learn this, Yes, we need

66
00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:58.719
<v Speaker 2>to be in no centif styles, but we should also

67
00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:02.000
<v Speaker 2>be wise as so the Bible says, in other words,

68
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:06.280
<v Speaker 2>when you realize that something is off, when you realize

69
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:09.520
<v Speaker 2>that something doesn't seem right, when you realize that something

70
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:13.919
<v Speaker 2>could land you in deeper trouble, don't ignore it. Don't

71
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:17.000
<v Speaker 2>think like I just wish it would go away. Because

72
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:19.839
<v Speaker 2>it says that, you know, she kept on doing this

73
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:22.959
<v Speaker 2>day after day. Maybe one day he could have just

74
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:27.279
<v Speaker 2>spoken privately to Potifer. Maybe he could have addressed his

75
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:30.639
<v Speaker 2>concern in front of Potifer. Maybe he would have landed

76
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:33.639
<v Speaker 2>him in more trouble where his Potify's wife could have

77
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:35.839
<v Speaker 2>given him a harder try and time, and maybe he

78
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:38.000
<v Speaker 2>could have moved to another place or something like that.

79
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:43.240
<v Speaker 2>But the truth is, maybe he shouldn't have just been

80
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:46.920
<v Speaker 2>quiet about it like and just left it. Maybe if

81
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:51.639
<v Speaker 2>he had addressed this to Potifer beforehand, Potifa would have

82
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:56.480
<v Speaker 2>been aware so that when the actual incident happened. You

83
00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:59.399
<v Speaker 2>know what, if I could have stood in a better

84
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:02.560
<v Speaker 2>chance of believing in Joseph than he did right now,

85
00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:08.839
<v Speaker 2>you get what I'm saying. So ultimately allow God allowed

86
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:11.120
<v Speaker 2>this to happen so that Joseph would not stay there.

87
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:14.160
<v Speaker 2>All of that is true, But on the principal point

88
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:15.680
<v Speaker 2>of view, I want you to get this that you know,

89
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:18.399
<v Speaker 2>the minute you realize something is off, you know, like

90
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:22.720
<v Speaker 2>sometimes I see in terms of certain people, you know,

91
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:25.920
<v Speaker 2>you realize that they don't have good intention, You realize

92
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:30.120
<v Speaker 2>that something seems to be not clicking with them, you know,

93
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:33.759
<v Speaker 2>having good vibes or something like that. You know, I

94
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:38.079
<v Speaker 2>don't allow myself to be put in the you know,

95
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:40.800
<v Speaker 2>in a place where they would continue to use me

96
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:43.079
<v Speaker 2>like that. You get what I'm saying. I try to

97
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:45.759
<v Speaker 2>address it. Like if I see something is off, talk

98
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:49.040
<v Speaker 2>to the person concern or talk to somebody else who

99
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:51.680
<v Speaker 2>could help me deal with that in a better way,

100
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:53.959
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean. So that's the challenge I

101
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:56.639
<v Speaker 2>want to leave with you. Don't put off your issues,

102
00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:00.199
<v Speaker 2>address your issues in the right effective way that you

103
