Forget and Prosper
5. June 2009 by Bernice Davis.
Hello:
We have finished chapter 10 so instead of starting a new lesson today since it’s the weekend (lol) I thought I would just share with you the meaning of Joseph sons names Ephraim and Mannasseh. I have been studying them and they are so precious to me. Most of us know the story of Joseph and how he was sold off into slavery by his brothers and then ended up in prison to become second in command only to Pharaoh.
Look at this text that gives us the meaning of his sons names.
Genesis 41:50 Before the years of famine came, two sons were born to Joseph by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On. 51 Joseph named his firstborn Manasseh and said, “It is because God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father’s household.” 52 The second son he named Ephraim and said, “It is because God has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering.”
How powerful is that. Joseph named his children names which reminded him that God had blessed him for his suffering and had caused him to forget the pain that was done to him in his father’s house. God is so faithful.
Be encouraged and have a great weekend. We will rejoin our study of the monarchy on Monday.
