PIT TO PALACE
Genesis 39:23 says “ …., because the Lord was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did.” But just above this verse; v20 says ' Joseph was put in prison’?! So that means ,there, in the prison, he had success?! Success and prison!? Now we don’t associate success with prison. How can a person be successful if he lands up in a punishment facility. Success and prison is a contradiction! That is a oxymoron! Similarily Matthew 5:1-12 talks about ‘The Beatitudes’ which is derived from the latin word ‘beatus’ meaning ‘blessed’.This passage is filled with contradictory ideas: blessed are all those who mourn, blessed are all those who are persecuted or insulted ! How can you rejoice and be glad about persecutions and insults !(Matthew 5:12) God says in Luke 6:38,Matthew 6:1-34,proverbs 11:24-25, Acts 20:35,etc inorder to increase our receive ,we should give! We should tithe! We should not store anything but help and share with others. Aga
