Theme: Offense is the bait. But purpose is the key.
There are few things more dangerous to your calling than offense.
And there are few places more fertile for offense than the prison seasons of life — those places where your character is tested, your name misunderstood, and your dreams delayed.
Joseph didn’t deserve to be in prison.
He was falsely accused, forgotten by men, and locked away in obscurity. But he didn’t let bitterness grow where faith was supposed to live. He refused to be offended by God’s silence or man’s betrayal. He chose to stay pure in purpose, even when everything around him screamed injustice.
And here’s the truth:
Many people disqualify themselves from their promotion not because they sinned — but because they stayed offended.
Joseph’s prison wasn’t just a waiting room.
It was a proving ground.
In the quiet shadows, God was refining Joseph into a man who could steward influence without using it for revenge.
Had Joseph walked out bitter, he may have used Pharaoh’s favor to punish his brothers. Instead, he used it to provide for them.
That’s what unoffendable hearts do.
They rise above the betrayal, because they’ve already laid their pain on the altar.
Are you in a prison season right now?
Maybe you’ve been falsely accused. Misunderstood. Overlooked.
Don’t let that prison steal your purpose.
📖 Call to Action: “Offense will trap your soul, but unoffendable love unlocks your destiny.”
