The speaker explains that Joseph gave Benjamin five changes of garments and 300 pieces of silver, symbolizing manifold grace and redemption, while other brothers received only one change.

Discover the Fivefold Benefits of God's Grace Today with Joseph. Speaker 2 Prince, come now, pray like this as much as the grace can do it. Lord, do this for me. Lord, Hallelujah, praise the Lord, and the Lord wants to see you dependent on grace so that all the glory goes through the Lord Jesus Christ alone. Look at what Joseph gave the Benjamin in terms of the garments. It says here in Genesis 45 he gave to all of them, to each man changes of garments, to all the brothers got garments, just like all the brothers got food. But to Benjamin, he gave 300 pieces of silver and five changes of garments. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. 5 changes of garments, ladies. Hallelujah. Imagine that, five changes of garments. And the Lord Joseph didn't apologize. He gave Benjamin special favors that the other brothers don't have, Amen. The other brothers can only look and see, Amen. They still have changes of garment, but Benjamin had five times more, Amen. He had five changes of garment. And garment is always a picture of the anointing, Amen. Your occupation, your anointing, your flow. You're able to flow in, in what? What the Bible calls in manifold grace, Amen. But let's not take away from the fact there's also natural provision, Amen, Where there's five times more food, 5 changes of garment. Remember, there's someone on the mount. Jesus says don't worry about what you shall eat or what you shall drink or what you shall wear, Amen. The Benjamin generation people who are under grace will have plenty to eat Amen, both spiritually as well as physically, and plenty to to wear Amen. Not just physically, Amen. But let's not take away from that the provision is there, but also in terms of the manifold grace, wearing the manifold grace of God operating in greater dimensions, Amen and and and greater offices, Praise the Lord that the Lord has for you, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen. Don't forget, bread is also a picture of healing. Healing is always typified as bread. The children's bread, Amen. You'll be 5 times healthier in the name of Jesus, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen. If where others are served healing still you are served five times more. Amen, Amen. Praise the Lord, thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus. Oh I I just feel the Spirit of God saying this is Psalms 103 Amen. Bless the Lord all my soul and forget not all his benefits. Bless the Lord all my soul and all that is within me, Bless his holy name, Amen. And he says, forget not many a times we forget. He's not telling someone else, he's talking to himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul. And once in a while when you're in the shower on your way to work, if you're driving in the MRT, you know, wherever you are, you know, just meditate talking to yourself and reach yourself. Amen. Feed yourself, nourish your soul by saying, hey, bless the Lord, O my soul. Forget not all his benefits and think about the benefits. Forget not all his benefits. And exactly 5. Who forgives all your iniquities? Who heals all your diseases? Who redeems your life from destruction? One translation says the grave. The Hebrew can refer to the grave. Who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies? Who satisfies your mouth with good so that your youth, your youth is renewed like the eagles. Five benefits. Forget not all. Don't just say we believe in forgiveness of sins. We don't believe in healing. We believe in healing. We don't believe in renewal of youth. No, five times more for the Benjamin generation. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. Oh, the Lord loves it. You know something happened to to Joseph when Benjamin was before him. You know his words. This came forth. God be gracious to you, my son. He calls him my son. There's a spirit of sonship, Amen. And and Benjamin had an effect on Joseph that the other brothers never had. And I believe that as the Lord looks down he's he wants us just like Paul with holy jealousy years over the Galatian believers that they were just for forget the law and come completely under grace. Even the Lord under Christ be forming you. He says, you know, I stand in doubt of you because you you are trusting Christ and the law. No, you got to trust in Christ alone. Amen. And your mother is grace. Find your nourishment from her, Amen. Listen to messages of grace. Hallelujah. Amen.

The Empty Silver Cup: No More Wrath for You And then Joseph told his brothers, go bring my father here, Amen. And he sent 1010 donkeys full of all the good things of, of Egypt. By the way, let's go back to the previous verse again. I want to point out there's also, he gave him 300 pieces of silver. Now 300 is the number of the chosen chosen of victors chosen victory, Amen. People who are chosen for victory. Don't forget there's also 300 used for Gideon's 300 men. So instead of thousands that God could use because he had thousands available, but God chose the 300, Amen. And by them I will deliver the Midianites to you. So 300 is a picture of people who are chosen for victory and silver is redemption. The the the idea of silver is redemption. So in other words, it's true the redemption of Jesus Christ. We can have this victory and this victory will multiply. Amen in our lives compared to our brothers who are under the law. The Bible says that the brothers can only see Benjamin received 300 pieces of silver. Can you imagine the journey back? No wonder the lot. In fact, Joseph told them, don't quarrel along the way. If you keep on reading, it says, as you send them to the Father, he says don't quarrel along the way. He tells them why? Because they look at Benjamin and they'll say, wow, 300 imagine Benjamin opening SEC 300 pieces. You know how many there is? It's clinking all the way back. Amen. And, and for them, it's not mentioned that he gave them any pieces of silver. At least we know that many years ago they got 20 pieces of silver, right? So Benjamin received 300 pieces of silver. Amen, Amen. They have revelations about about redemption. By the way, it was in Benjamin sect earlier on that they brought sex to fill up the grain, right? It was in Benjamin Sack that you find the empty silver cup. Joseph. Silver cup. Joseph hit his silver cup in Benjamin Sack. Now what is a type showing us the the cup #1 is a cup that the Lord himself drank. Amen. The cup he prayed to the Father in Guessimani. Father, if it's possible, let this cup pass from me. Nevertheless, not my will but your will be done. And he drank the cup to his very drex. OK. The cup of judgement, the cup of all our sins, the cup of iniquity, the cup they're supposed to be shot under us and we're supposed to drink it. The judgement and the torment. He drank it for us. So that the empty silver cup and silver is a picture. Metals all have meanings in the Bible. Goal is divinity, Amen. But silver is always redemption and the empty civil cup in Benjamin segments. Of all the brothers, the one that the Lord trusts to tell the world God has no more wrath for you. Remember the Book of Revelation? The vials poured out God's wrath. Well, there's no more God's wrath for you and I who have put our trust in Jesus. The Benjamin generation will have a message. No more anger, no more wrath, no more judgment. Silver speaks of redemption. It's all been emptied by our Lord Jesus at the cross, Amen. And because we believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, there is no wrath in our future. There is no judgment in our future, Amen. Praise the name of the Lord. He loved us. He loved us to the end. Amen, Amen. Amen. Praise the name of Jesus. Why Being With Jesus Matters More Than Ministry Hallelujah, praise the Lord. You know, friend, it was when Benjamin came before him. Benjamin was already in existence when Joseph was in the palace in Egypt, serving right as a viceroy, the second most powerful man in all Egypt. Benjamin was growing up, but yet nothing happened until Benjamin came before Joseph. So I just want to close by saying this, Benjamin generation, he wants you to come close to him. He wants you to be in his presence. I know you want this blessing, you want this breakthrough, and sometimes you come to Him to get a breakthrough, but you know something. He just wants you to come and see Him and to know that He has only grace for you, 5 times more for you. He only has gracious words for you. He, He wants to love on you. Will you allow Him to love on you? Will you enjoy that love in His presence? It was when Benjamin came to Joseph that things began to turn around even for Israel, Amen. Even for the nation of Israel represented by the by the brothers as well as today, those brothers that don't believe in grace, Amen. Having the same father but not the same mother. Well, they are turning around. Everything start turning around when Benjamin comes before Joseph, Amen. The Lord Jesus, when he chose his disciples in Mark chapter 3, this is what he said the Bible says. Then he appointed 12 that they might be with him. He appointed 12 that they might be with him, that they might be with him. That's the first reason. His primary reason, his greatest desire, his his foremost desire is that they might be with him and then, and that he might send them out to preach all that comes after and to have power to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons. We all want that. We want, we want to have power to heal sicknesses and cast out demons. Amen. But all that comes after He appointed you so that you can be with Him. He wants you to be with Him. He wants you to see how glorious, how beautiful he is. He wants you to see who He is to you. Amen. And He wants you to hear his words. God be gracious to you. He wants you to hear His gracious words. He wants you to to be like Mary, be at His feet and listen to His word. You know Jesus said this, Follow me and I will make you fishes of man. Many a times we try to become fishes of man, but our heart is not really for Him. We're not following Him. He says follow me and I will make you I will make you. We don't run off a ministry. In fact, ministry can take us away from the Lord and that's why many times we are discouraged when you see even after the great demonstrations of power. You see the power of God and all that. If you don't have that that that time with with him where you don't see him and there's no personal like Emmaus Rd. experience. You know the warm heart for him. Amen. Your ministry can become something like what Elijah experienced after a great victory at Mount Carmel. He I'm very discouraged after that. Why? Because he experienced the the power of God, the ministry and it's great success, right? But he was not with Jesus. Amen. And that's why sometimes ministers also, you find them some of the greatest times of discouragement. Even in some cases, their fall has been after a great victory, but there's no coming back to Jesus and just being with him. From Law to Grace: Israel's Hearing Restored Lord, as I open your word, Lord, I want to see more and more of you. Lord, I pray there has been your delight when I open up the story of Joseph, because Joseph reminds me of Jesus. And when you open up the story of Joseph, the more you look at Joseph, you know, the more you see Jesus. How, how he, he, he interpreted the dreams of the two men that one of them is a Butler in the palace and also the other one is a Baker. And, and two men, two thiefs that probably stole from, from Pharaoh and he threw them into the dungeon and, and Joseph interpreted their dream, right? One of them was a message of life. The other one is death. When Jesus was crucified, there were two thiefs on either side and he gave a message of life to one of them. Amen. Praise the Lord. So it's a picture of Jesus all across the story of Joseph. Amen. Amen. Amen. And you know, the more I read the story of Joseph, I was reading just yesterday and, and, and I saw the turn around happen also when the brothers began to talk for the first time to the steward of the house. The brothers have to talk to the steward of the house. And they were afraid actually. But the steward of the house says peace be to you, peace be to you, Fear not, Amen. I have your money. And the next line says and then he released Simeon. Remember Simeon Israeli hearing has been locked. Israel is not able to hear the gospel why they rejected the Messiah. Remember that? And when was Simeon released? When Benjamin came before Joseph, Simeon the brother was released from prison. Hearing the hearing of Israel is restored when the Benjamin generation stands in the land. Hallelujah. And it's a picture of when Jesus came. In the book of Luke, the Bible tells us that there was a man called Shimon, same name as Simeon. Amen. Hearing was lost. Hearing was lost. And that's why in the prophecies of Moses, Simeon's name is not mentioned. The hearing of Israel is lost, right? Simon wasn't mentioned in terms of the blessing of the tribes when Moses blessed them. His name was he's the only tribe not mentioned. Why? Because Israel's hearing is locked up. But Shimon came, Simeon came when baby Jesus was dedicated and, and he, he, he said, Lord, now I've seen your salvation, I've seen your Yeshua. Let let me depart in peace. Amen. So even the law, because the all the law, the greatest commandment starts with Shema, hearing Shema, Israel, Adonai, Elohenu, Adonai, at heart the Lord our God is 1 Lord, in that you shall love the Lord your God. It starts with Shema. And there was there was the law saying, I, I now see your grace. I now see your Yeshua. Let me depart in peace. Even the law was glad to see Jesus come. And you know who came after? After all, Shema left, You know who came in? A lady called a very old lady called Hannah. And Hannah means Grace. And you know what she did? She proclaimed about this baby to all in Jerusalem. Amen. When law goes out, Grace comes forth and says this is the one only grace can proclaim. The law cannot even proclaim. The law says let me now depart in peace because grace will proclaim redemption. Praise the Lord thank you Jesus. Receive Healing, Salvation, and God's Abundant Blessings I pray that this has been a blessing to you. I'm believing God that that whatever you are lacking in your life right now, whether it's in your health, you receive 5 times more Amen and 300 pieces of silver Amen. The benefits of redemption in your life Amen. Whether it is provisions, whether you find that right now you need a breakthrough in this area. The Lord, the Lord is able to give you 5 times more, my friend, Amen. And when I say that five being the number of grace, there is no limit. If we say God, it's all based on your grace. That means you are you are freeing God. If if you say Lord, you know, I will try to be obedient to receive this. I will try to you know in your back of your mind, that's your attitude you will receive. You won't be able to received OK, but you just depend on God's grace as much as a grace somehow pray like this as much as a grace can do it. Lord do this for me, Lord, Hallelujah. Praise the Lord and the Lord wants to see you dependent on grace so that all the glory goes to the Lord Jesus Christ alone. Amen. Praise the Lord and pray for you right now wherever you are. Amen. If you are suffering in any area of your your your life, there is someone called Jennifer and you've been diagnosed. The doctors told you you have a growth, a tumor and you've been praying. I see you praying and asking God to heal you. God has hurt your cry, Jennifer and that that there is a a growth that has been the the growth has been growing and the tumor has been growing and but right now in the name of Jesus, I see the lot smiting it and it gets it, it, it dissipates, right. It's not removed completely in one fell swoop, but you were seeing the days to come. It gets smaller and smaller. Go back to the doctor, have it verified in the name of Jesus, praise the Lord, your healing has begun. Praise the name of Jesus.

FAQs

You can apply it by expecting God's manifold grace to manifest in greater anointing, provision, and healing—trusting that He gives you 'five times more' in every area, not just spiritually but also physically, like having plenty to eat and wear.

The number 300 symbolizes chosen victory, as seen with Gideon's 300 men. Combined with silver representing redemption, it means believers are chosen for victory through Christ's redemption, receiving multiplied blessings.

It means Jesus drank the cup of judgment for all sins at the cross, so for those who trust in Him, there is no future wrath or judgment—only redemption and grace, as symbolized by the empty silver cup in Benjamin's sack.

Jesus' primary desire was for disciples to be with Him before ministering. Without personal intimacy, even great victories like Elijah's can lead to discouragement because ministry becomes a task rather than a relationship.

Simeon means 'hearing.' When Benjamin came before Joseph, Simeon was released from prison, symbolizing that Israel's spiritual hearing—lost due to rejecting the Messiah—is restored when the grace-centered Benjamin generation appears.

Pray by depending entirely on God's grace, not your obedience. Say, 'Lord, do this for me as much as grace can do it,' trusting that this frees God to work and gives Him all the glory.
