The Start of the Past 30 years
Genesis 37:1~11 But when he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves to the ground before you?” And his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the saying in mind. (10~11)

There are people who perform poorly at work even though they have graduated from prestigious universities. Conversely, there are those who work well without an extensive educational background. This is the difference in unseen knowledge, unseen strength, and unseen answers. This is the covenant and the Gospel. Joseph enjoyed this the most. How can you enjoy this strength?
1. Joseph’s Start and His Suffering
The death of Joseph’s mother Rachel brought him hardships. However, Joseph embraced his God-given dream and communicated with his father, Jacob. (Genesis 37:1~11) Remnants must change their scars into their visions and communicate with their leaders. To Joseph who possessed the covenant, his suffering became a blessing that revealed the mystery of the Summit. (Genesis 39:1~6)
2. Joseph Who Became the Summit
After being wrongly accused, Joseph was imprisoned. There, he met officers who served Pharaoh. Just as Joseph had explained, the chief cupbearer was restored to his position and the chief baker was hanged. One day, Joseph gave Pharaoh the answer to his dreams. If you prepare your skills within the covenant, you can give answers that nobody else can give. (Nobody)
Remnants must possess three kinds of images. They are the fundamentals, (roots and spiritual state) the base, (attitude) and the basics. (skills) No matter where you are, if you’re able to have renewal, you’ll enjoy continuous answers.
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, help me to become a Remnant who transforms scars into a vision, prepares skills inside the covenant, and has renewal take place every day. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

[Deep Questions]
Q. Are They Scars or a Vision?
The first hardship that Joseph experienced was the death of his mother. She passed away while giving birth to Joseph’s younger brother Benjamin. That was an extremely difficult situation for Joseph. However, it was also a very crucial point in his life.
Will you be scarred, or will you find your vision?
It’s either one or the other.
Emotional and mental scars do not simply disappear even after becoming an adult. In fact, those types of scars are more frightening than cancer. Surgical procedures exist to get rid of cancer; however, there isn’t anything to alleviate emotional or mental scars.
More importantly, you cannot grow spiritually if you possess those scars.
Other types of growth are accomplished, but not spiritual growth.
Renowned individuals share a common characteristic. They possess the ability to transform all their scars into their visions.
