Given a Double Portion! 
Genesis 48:17-22 
Jacob as Israel was praying a blessing on both Manasseh, and Ephraim and on the generations to come from them. God was going to bless them, as part of the twelve tribes, as adopted sons and give to them a double portion which goes usually to the first born (Gen 48:22). They would receive it after they came into the promise land which took place over 400 years later (Josh 17:17-18). Disciple Principle: Christ has adopted us as children of God, and He is giving to us the blessing here on earth but is also going to bless us with the blessing that is reserved for the first born (Luke 15:11-32). We will receive a double portion and it comes by faith in Christ. He blesses us both now and when we come into Christ Heaven Kingdom (Matt 8:11). Remember: that through faith in Christ, we will receive the double portion which Christ is preparing for us even right now (John 14:2).

Giving of Seed and Grace! 
Genesis 47:23-31 
We see that it is by the grace of our lord that we are saved and have and abundance of grace (Gen 47:25).

Disciple Principle: Trusting by faith in Christ Jesus brings us into a binding oath, that when we die, we will be with Christ in His heavenly kingdom land for all eternity. Remember: we are on a journey (pilgrim, Heb 11:13, 1 Pet 2:11) and that when life is over here on earth, we too will be taken up into heaven for all eternity with our Lord Christ Jesus (John 3:15, 10:28, 17:2-3, Rom 6:23).

Genesis 47:13-26 
Joseph is used by God to strip away from the people their money (Gen 47:14-15), livestock (Gen 47:16-17, land and even themselves (Gen 47:18-19) to the place that they become servants (Gen 47:25).

The people realized that Joseph had saved them from death, and they pray that he would continue to show them grace and in return they would be the king’s servants (Gen 47:25). Disciple Principle: Christ does not forsake us, but takes us on a journey, to strip away those things that we hold on to or make god’s of, which we are hoping will give us bread / life. True bread and seed come from the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ (John 12:23-26). Remember: Our Lord Jesus Christ, proclaims that He is the “Bread of life” (John 6:32-51).

Giving a BLESSING! 
Genesis 47:1-12 
HAPPY SWEET DECEMBER!!! (Day One) 
Joseph and Israel were blessed by Pharaoh and his people. They were going to be given the best of the land, the land of Goshen (Gen 47:11). But now as Jacob comes before the most powerful person of the known world at that time, he humbles himself, calls himself a servant (Gen 47:4) and then speaks a blessing over Pharaoh (Gen 47:7 & 10). This was more powerful than any physical gift, it was a spiritual gift spoken to Pharaoh on behalf of God by Jacob. 
Disciple Principle: As servants of Christ, we are all gifted with the ability if we chose, to be a blessing and to speak forth a blessing to others on behalf of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is really the true ministry of being a servant / disciple of Christ. Remember: You may not have much to physically give, but we can all speak forth a blessing one to another. In blessing you will be blessed. (Ps 34:1, Ps 103:1-2, Ps 134:1-2, Matt 5:2-11, Mark 10:16)

At the place of wells and oaths (Beersheba) God confirms again that He will be with Israel as he travels to Egypt (Gen 46:1-7). God tells him not to fear (Gen 46:3), because Jacob will become the foundation stone to the building of a great nation (Israel) (Gen 46:3). Plus, one day God will bring out Jacob with Joseph (Gen 46:4) and the people of Israel back to the land of Canaan, which is the place of covenant /promise given to Abraham, Isaac and to him. God reminds Jacob of three important truths. 1. I Am God (Gen 46:3). 2. I will fulfill my plan (Gen 46:3). 3. I will go down with you (Gen 46:4). Jacob was not to be afraid (Gen 46:3), but to have faith that God was with him and his family on their journey. Disciple Principle: As followers of Christ, we need to have faith that wherever Christ is calling us to do and to go, He will also be with us on our journey, but the key is to respond to Christ by saying “Here I am”.

Genesis 44:16-34
Judah comes before Joseph and ask to speak with him before Joseph passes his verdict on Benjamin (Gen 44:18). Judah wants the lord of Egypt to know all the detail, the whole truth about what has and will happen to him and to his father (past, present, and future) (Gen 44: 18-34).  Joseph responds was now going to affect the life of Judah and his family “forever” (Gen 44:32). Disciple Principle:  There is always a price to be paid for sin and trespasses and the consequences will affect us forever, both here on earth and concerning our existence after physical death. Remember: Christ out of love became our surety, willing to pay the price that was required for us, but we must come and speak to Him (Ps 32:5, Rom 10:9 -10, 1 John 1:9).

The steward said, “Peace be with you, do not be afraid. Your God and the God of your father has given to you treasure …” (Gen 43:23). They were invited into Joseph house, had their feet washed and were going to sit down and eat bread together as a family (Gen 43:24-25). Disciple Principle: Christ desires that we come to His house and to break bread together with Him as a sign of fellowship and friendship.

Giving Mercy! 
Genesis 43:1-14 
When there is famine in the land and no bread to eat, we must go individually upright before the Lord God Almighty and ask Him to show and to give mercy to us (Gen 43:14). We also need to come before Him as a family, so that all members of our household may have bread. Judah and Jacob had to deal with things individually, but they all had to “go” before the lord corporately (Gen 43;13) on behalf of their father Israel. Disciple Principle: Christ calls us to come before Him during our times of famine and ask of Him to show us mercy as a follower and as a family (the church). It takes the whole family to be willing to get up and go before Christ our Almighty One. Remember: Mercy is something we need to go and ask for individually and together as followers of Christ (Mat 9:13, 9:27, Luke 1:50).

Giving Out Truth! 
Genesis 42:1-24 
It was now time for Joseph and his brother to face up to their lies and to speak forth the truth of the events that took place over a decade before (Gen 42:16). The family was living under a canopy of lies. The truth that Joseph wanted his brothers to see is to “fear God” (Gen 42:18). If the brothers walk in truth they will live, if they choose to live out a lie, they will die (Gen 42:20). Before things could move forward and before reconciliation could happen, they would have to confront their lies about Joseph (Gen 42:21-22). Disciple Principle: Jesus said, it is the truth that sets the captive free (John 8:32). Let us speak the truth of Christ and His word to each other in love. Remember: All sin will one day confront us. What we think was hidden God will reveal. Maybe it is time for more “true truth”.

Joseph is called up out of the king’s dungeon to meet with the Pharaoh, because God has given Joseph the ability to interpret dreams. But Joseph wanted Pharaoh to know something that was even more important. That there is One God who knows all things and is in control of all things. Four times Joseph points Pharaoh to God. 1. “God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace” (Gen 41:16). 2. “God will show Pharaoh what He is about to do” (Gen 41:25). 3. Again because of two dreams God says, “God will show Pharaoh what He is about to do” (Gen 41:28). Finally, “the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass (Gen 41:32).
