Dreamer Preparation

Genesis 37:5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
Attitudes the dreamer must learn to have
Love in spite of being rejected by others and especially your loved ones
His family Genesis 37:5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more. 11 And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
His employer—Potiphar
His friends in the prison
Have a positive attitude even while living in serious problems
In the slave market
In Potiphar's house
In the prison
Keep going even when you are misunderstood by your family or your employer--Potiphar
The dreamer must learn to be patient
He must learn to wait on God
Joseph knew that God was going to bring his dream to pass
He had a good attitude even while living in the middle of chaos
Learn the lessons where you are now, do not forget that God is making a man of God
Take advantage of every step of your life
He learned administration while a slave and later while he was in prison
Learn to work without making excuses or complaining
Any other person would have had an opportunity to complain or destroy things around him
Don’t be the slothful person with lots of excuses
The dreamer must learn to enjoy intimacy with God
He was lonely, He had lost his family and solo only had his relationship with God
He had no one to spend time with
Being alone he learned to spend time with God
There in the presence of God He learns that it is God that gives the dream and God that will bring the dream to pass
Birth, death, and resurrection of a dream
We must die to ourselves
We must keep our hearts and minds on the Lord God Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on thee: Because he trusteth in thee. Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
