Joseph, the son of Jacob, was a man of many titles and accomplishments. He was not only a builder of pyramids, but also rose to become second-in-command of Egypt, serving as Pharaoh's trusted regent and Prime Minister. Despite his Hebrew descent, he was respected and admired by many in Egypt.

Joseph's story is one of hardship and redemption. He foresaw a famine in a dream and took it to heart, even though he was distracted and traumatised by ancient hostilities. He struggled to stay on the path of righteousness and peace, as urged by the apostle Paul in his letter to the Colossians. Joseph faced many temptations and challenges along the way, including the lure of fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness – all of which can lead to idolatry and the wrath of God. However, Joseph overcame these trials and emerged as a hero of faith.

One of the most remarkable aspects of Joseph's story is his reconciliation with his brothers. They had sold him into slavery and left him for dead, but in the end, they were the ones who helped him to escape the Egyptian spirit of death and the spirit of mind control.

This was no easy feat, as Joseph had been steeped in a culture of deception and radicalism declared through pictographs on monuments and buildings that propagated evil in place of good and persecuted the people of God. Yet, through Joseph’s eventual softening of heart by the grace of God, his brothers were transformed and brought back into the fold.
