FIRST IMPRESSIONS 15.5.25 LIFE JOURNAL by Alex Oguh 
1. DREAM INTERPRETATION BELONG TO GOD
Genesis 40:8 (KJV) And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you.
This is the first major verse on dream interpretation I want us to consider. Everything about dream interpretation is based on what God does or says. We will say more when we start talking about dream interpretation itself, but ponder on this a little.
2. NOT EVEN JOSEPH COULD INTERPRET DREAMS 
This is shocking. It looks like a contradiction of the Bible narratives. Joseph knew the meaning of the dreams he had around the age of seventeen. The brothers knew the meaning of those dreams and it was why they so hated him and sold him into slavery. Their father knew the meaning of the dreams. The last dream about the sun and the moon bowing to him meant that his lifting up would be so big that his father and the mother would bow before him. Their father shouted him down from such bogus dreams. 
Genesis 37:10 (KJV) And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?

It was looking like it was a family of dream interpreters. How could Joseph say that dream interpretation was not in him? Can you imagine how terrified the big man (the chief butler) who had earlier told Pharaoh about this wonder boy felt? He must have been terrified. Pharaoh could order him back to the dungeon or to be killed for deceiving him. Yet Joseph was telling the truth as Daniel bore witness about six hundred years later.

WISDOM FOR TODAYTODAY, 1st November SHUN EVIL OF CONSULTING WITH FLESH AND BLOOD

WISDOM FOR TODAYTODAY, 1st November  SHUN EVIL OF CONSULTING WITH FLESH AND BLOOD Proverbs 1:7 [7]The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction. Shun Evil Counsel Paul learnt from Ananias and Barnabas. It was not that Paul was arrogant. What he meant here was that once he knew what God wanted him to do in life, he didn't go on again seeking human opinions.  I'm ashamed to confess that many points on my journey with Christ, I made the mistakes Paul was able to escape in his own walk with Christ. I want to speak out with prayers that some other persons in my shoes then would do better than I did.  In 1972, I was in form in Form two in a boarding school called our Lady of Schools, Anyigba, now in Kogi State, Nigeria. I had come in a year before. Though I was already going to the Catholic Church in my village before coming to the School, I had never met any true Christian, one who took his belief serious, till I got to School. Tw...

FIRST IMPRESSIONS - ALEX OGUH LIFE JOURNAL

13.5.25 FIRST IMPRESSIONS 2 - by Alex Oguh  Dreams have helped me greatly in this last few years that I began to give it attention. I wanted to write about dreams and I remember that I saw recently how a Christian group deleted a post I made about a dream I had and it's interpretation. It made no sense to them. So writing about dreams may not benefit many Christians unless the Lord first help me teach on HEARING GOD. Why? Everything about dream interpretation in the Bible is hinged on hearing God. See more on the matter tomorrow. ...TO BE CONTINUED
