The Series on Leadership - Joseph's Leadership Lessons

Speaker Notes

Genesis 50:18-20

18 His brothers then came and threw themselves down before him. “We are your slaves,” they said.

19 But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God? 20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.

James 1:2-4

2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

With God, Things are not always what they seem

Leadership Lessons from Joseph:

  • God-given dreams are often delayed, but never wasted

  • Go'd’s favor never exempts us from trials in life

  • Character often costs in the short run, but pays in the long run

  • The job that you have today always shapes you for the one tomorrow

  • God’s Purposes always trump personal preferences and our personal vendettas
