LESSON FORTY FOUR (44)
TOPIC: BENEFITS OF A GRATEFUL HEART 13:
FULFILMENT OF DESTINY.
BIBLE TEXT: GENESIS 41:1-45
Genesis 41:1-15
[1]And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.
[2]And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.
[3]And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill favoured and leanfleshed; and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river.
[4]And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.
[5]And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.
[6]And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them.
[7]And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.
[8]And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh.
[9]Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:
[10]Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the captain of the guard’s house, both me and the chief baker:
[11]And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
[12]And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret.
[13]And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.
[14]Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.
[15]And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it.

MEMORY VERSE: Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thought that I think soward you says the Lord, thought of peace and not of evil to give you a future and a hope”.
LESSON AIM: God has a good plan for you and He want you to fulfil it.
CHILD RELATED TRUTH: Work with God to fulfil your destiny.
INTRODUCTION: Jeremiah 1:5 says “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I sanctified you, I ordained you a prophet to the nation. There is a purpose for which God made you and keep you alive. You have to align with God to allow that purpose to be fulfill by obeying His word and live right with grateful heart daily.”
PROGRESSION OF EVENTS.
A. Then it came to pass at the end of two full year that Pharaoh had a dream that he could not interpret and no one could also interpret.
B. Then the Chief Butler spoke to Pharaoh, saying “I remember when I was put to jaill there was a young man who interpret my dream and it came to pass just as he interpreted for us Vs 9-13. (The Butler offended and was put to prison, it separates you from God and His blessings. Romans 8:23, 6:23. But God does not want you to remain in the prison of sin because He loves you John 3:16, so He gave you Jesus who died, gave His blood for you and rose the third day Hebrew 9:13-14, if you receive Him as your Saviour you will be released from the punishment of your sin).
C. Pharaoh sent and called Joseph quickly out of the prison, He was cleaned up to appear before the King (Joseph was not in prison because he sinned, he was there because he refused to sin. If time allows teacher should briefly tell the story of Joseph and Potiphar’s wife).
D. Pharaoh told Joseph the dream, Joseph said “it is not me, God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace and Joseph interpreted the dream and gave the solution to the dream by advising the King as regarding Seven years of abundance of food and seven years of famine (Teaches should read and understand the dream) Vs 15-36.
E. So the advice was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants. And Pharaoh said to his servants “Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God? Vs 37-38 (Pharaoh Attest to the fact that the Spirit of God is in Joseph. Do you have the Spirit of God in you to help you fulfil your destiny? Close your eyes and pray that God should please put His Spirit in you).
F. Then Pharaoh said to Joseph “In as much as God has shown you all this there is no one as discerning and as wife as you. You shall be over my house and all my people shall be ruled according to your word; only in regard to the throne will I be greater than you. Vs 39-40.
CLIMAX: And Pharaoh said to Joseph “See I have set you over all the land of Egypt. Then he took his signet ring and put it on Joseph hand, cloth him in garment of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck and had him ride in second chariot he had and they cried out before him, bow the knee, so he set Joseph over all the land of Egypt”. Vs 41-43.
CONCLUSION: and Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without your consent no man may lift his hand or foot in the land of Egypt. And he gave Joseph a name Zaphnatt-Paaneah, and he gave him Asnath as wife. So Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt. (What a great fulfilment of destiny. You too as you give God your grateful heart you will fulfill your destiny in Jesus name. Amen).
CHALLENGE: As God children God want you to fulfil your destiny but you have to live your life in pleasing the Lord. Look at Joseph what are the Godly things you can say about him that you can emulate? (Let the teacher’s guide the children).
INVITATION: for you to fulfil your destiny you must have Jesus as your Saviour and walk in His ways John 1:12.
