25 Hour Answer of Family Gospelization (Genesis 37:5-11)          2/26/2023

 

For three weeks, we shared the Word about how Jacob’s life was full of struggles and scars because he lacked assurance, but God healed and blessed him with the 25th hour answer. Jacob is a model from the Bible that is the closest reflection of ourselves. We also live with many scars, humanism, and the failure and suffering that comes from those things.

God restored, blessed, and raised up Jacob as the one to save the world through three steps.

First, it was Genesis 28:13-15. God gave Jacob God’s absolute plan toward him as the covenant and imprinted that covenant in him. As Jacob was running away after deceiving his father, God came to him and instilled in him his identity. This was the first event of Bethel.

Second, it was Genesis 32:22-32. God allowed Jacob to experience prayer at the Jabbok River and rooted the covenant deeply within him. There, God healed Jacob of his internal deep scars. There are three internal healings. He no longer feared (healing of his heart), he no longer thought of using humanism (healing of his thoughts), and he reconciled his relationship with his brother that had been broken for a long time (healing of relationships).

Third, it is Genesis 35:1-5. Jacob receives a conclusive answer that completely restores all of God’s plan for him. There is something important to keep in mind. Up until now, it had been a time of personal healing for Jacob. Genesis 35 reveals how God restored his entire family, family line, and his descendants. He told Jacob to go up to Bethel, and bring his entire family with him to build an altar. They gathered all their idols to throw it away, and there were so many.

This is the core of family, family line and posterity healing. Each family member had their own idols (statues, religion, money, flesh and success-centered lives). Are you facing conflicts and problems within your family? It may very well be an opportunity for you to hold onto the gospel again and experience healing and restoration take place in your entire household.

 

  1. Later, there was a 25th hour answer given to the family, family line, and the entire posterity (Genesis 35:10-15). God promised three answers.

1) It says, “a community of nations will come from you.” This is a covenant regarding posterity. Just as God promised, through the 12 brothers that could have been just people with scars and conflicts, the 12 tribes that represented Israel was raised. Hold onto the covenant that your family and family line will be the family line of the gospel as well as the household that God will use in the end times.

2) “Kings will be among your descendants.” This is a covenant of the summit. According to this covenant, Joseph was raised, as well as King David whom God used like never before, and finally, the eternal King Christ. Hold onto the covenant that your family line, however lacking it may be, will be a family that God blesses, and from which summits that will save the world will be raised.

3) “I will give this land to your descendants after you.” This is a covenant of being used as evangelists and conquerors. Our future is so uncertain. That is why we must prepare the 3 ages. Hold onto the covenant that the figures who will save the 3 ages will come from our family, family line, church, and among all remnants around the world.

 

  1. The passage is a record of the 12 tribes and Joseph who began within this covenant.

A historical figure like Joseph did not just come about. He did not come from studying diligently.

1) God fulfilled what He had promised. God gave his covenant accurately through the Word (covenant), and fulfilled the promised he had promised (God of covenant). That is why every time you listen to the Word, you must accurately understand the covenant and hold onto it. God confirmed the covenant to Joseph through his dream.

2) Joseph was 17 when he was able to realize and confirm God’s covenant (2). That means that his parents were able to completely imprint the covenant within Joseph by the time he turned 17 (missioning ceremony). That is why the infant ministry to the youth ministry is important. We must complete it by the time they turn 18. In America, when kids turn 18, they graduate high school and go off to the workplace or college. It is an age where spiritual, mental, and financial independence is established. We must now help them go to the field as missionaries (commissioning ceremony).

3) God prepared Joseph this was and sent him out to the world.

He was sold as a slave because of his conflicts with his brothers, but that was God’s plan and method. When problems come, we look at them as painful problems. That is the real problem. We must see God’s plan within our problems. Seeing God’s plan within problems is called “spiritual eyes”, and when we gain strength and challenge, that is called “spirituality.”

God sent Joseph out to the world and allowed him to see the world and the field that is suffering (eyes to see the world). It was to use him as an evangelist (disciple). God allowed Joseph to see the pain of God toward the field in suffering. He also allowed Joseph to gain specialty (uniqueness). As a slave, he was able to learn the economy, and in prison, he learned politics. There, Joseph was able to gain evidence (witness). Because Joseph enjoyed only God wherever he went, everything became evidence. Even for unbelievers, important figures teach their children to be independent by the age of 18.

 

  1. Now, there are things we must do. This must be our prayer topic and something to challenge towards.

1) Hold onto the covenant. Especially hold onto the covenant of family gospelization. What is the family gospelization that the Bible talks about?

For unbeliever families, hold onto the covenant that says, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved – you and your household” (Acts 16:31).

For believer families, pray so that the spiritual stream and the stream of the Throne will flow within your family and family line (Isaiah 103:20-22). That is family worship. A husband and father has been given the blessing of a spiritual priest that leads the family worship.

Pray to be a family that truly makes the devotion of making your home a mission home (Acts 16:15). Your house will become a house of evangelists where many people receive salvation and a RUTC where remnants and disciples are raised.

2) Pray for the power of the Holy Spirit and blessing of the Throne that prepares for the 3 ages. We may have scars that goes beyond those of Jacob. The God who raised Jacob to fulfill this blessing is our God. As you practice deep breathing 24 hours, continue the prayer of 3, 9, 3. Everything will be restored, and you, your families, and your church will become the platform, watchtower, and the tower that saves 237 nations.

3) No matter what problem or conflicts come, do not fall into discouragement, despair, or unbelief. Look upon only Christ, only the Kingdom of God, and only the power of the Holy Spirit and restore true faith. When Joseph talked about his dream, his brothers hated him. However, his father Jacob “kept the matter in mind.” That is faith (Genesis 37:11, 45:28 ).Your faith will save you, your children, and the church. That is when darkness is broken down (Mark 16:17-18, 1John 5:4).

 

Conclusion – Hold onto the covenant of saving yourself, your family and family line, as well as your children and the church. With that evidence, you will save 237 nations.
