The Bible says, “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. 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. And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river (Genesis 41:14-17, KJV).
Pharaoh narrated the two dreams to Joseph. How he saw seven lean cows that ate up seven fat cows and still remained lean after having eaten the fat cows. And how he saw seven thin and scotched grains of plants that sprouted up and swallowed seven full and ripe grains of plants.
“And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do” (Genesis 41:25, KJV).
He interpreted the dreams, and also went ahead to tell them what to do to manage the situation and solve the problems when it arises. Immediately, Pharaoh made Joseph the ruler of all of Egypt. He rose quickly to the highest level in the world of his time. Because he made use of what he had to help those he could help. He used his knowledge and talents, and kept using them even when things were tough for him. Until the LORD arose and shone His light over his life.
The Bible says, “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.” When that happens, the Bibles says, “And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.” (Isaiah 60:1-4) The Bible says they will come to you with their silver and their gold.
Gentiles symbolise people that don’t know God. People that don’t know you. People that have no business with you. People that don’t like you. The Bible says they will all come to you. And kings, the presidents, rulers and the highest placed people in every country, industry and profession, they will all come to you. They will make you great, rich and wealthy. Because they see your light. Because they need your light. Because you have something they lack. Because you have something they need.
The Bible says “And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all lands.” (Genesis 45:57, KJV)
The world will come to you. But, first, you must arise, shine, for your light is come and the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. Rise and do something with what you know, what you have, what you can. Shine your light in the world and see the world come to you from everywhere!!..
