Let’s get real: sometimes the very people who say they love you will envy the favor on your life. Not because you’ve done anything wrong—but because they see something in you they can’t create in themselves.
When they can’t manifest it, they’ll try to steal it.
When they can’t walk in it, they’ll try to destroy it.
When they can’t understand it, they’ll try to sabotage it.
But here’s the good news, Queen: no one can steal what God has mantled you to carry.
Just ask Joseph.
The Dream That Triggered Jealousy
Joseph was just 17 years old when he shared his dream. It wasn’t arrogance—it was revelation. He saw himself in a position of leadership, where even his family would bow before him. But instead of celebration, his own blood plotted against him.
“Here comes that dreamer!” they said to each other. “Come now, let’s kill him...”
—Genesis 37:19-20 (NIV)
What Joseph carried was divine. But because his brothers didn’t have the vision or grace to carry what he had, they thought they could take it by force—or at the very least, silence it.
Jealousy makes people delusional. They didn’t want the process. Just the power.
They Stripped the Coat But Not the Calling
They threw him in a pit. Sold him like property. Lied to their father. Tore up his coat—the symbol of favor—but here’s the plot twist: they could take the coat, but they couldn’t take the calling.
You can’t steal oil.
You can’t fake anointing.
You can’t copy destiny.
Joseph didn’t just survive. He ascended. From a slave in Potiphar’s house, to prisoner, to ruler of Egypt. The same people who betrayed him ended up needing him to survive.
“Now Joseph was governor over the land... And Joseph’s brothers came and bowed down before him with their faces to the earth.”
—Genesis 42:6 (ESV)
Just like he dreamed.
From the Bernard Jordan's Pit to the Palace—And They Had to Eat From Joseph's Hands
They hated Joseph for the dream, but ended up bowing to the dreamer. The famine drove them to Egypt, not realizing their little brother—now unrecognizable in his glory—was the one they would have to receive provision from.
“Then he threw his arms around his brother Benjamin and wept, and Benjamin embraced him, weeping. And he kissed all his brothers and wept over them.”
—Genesis 45:14-15 (NIV)
He didn’t just feed them grain—he fed them grace.
Let that sink in: the same hands they betrayed, beat down, and abandoned… became the hands that fed them.
What This Means for You, Queen
If you’re in a season where people are questioning you, mocking your vision, or plotting behind your back—take a breath. You’re in good company. They did it to Joseph. And they did it to Jesus.
But remember this: if it came from God, no one can cancel it.
They can strip your status.
They can lie on your name.
They can throw you in a pit.
But if God called you to reign, you’ll rise.
And one day, they’ll watch you walk in everything they tried to destroy.
Final Word: Don't Retaliate—Reign Ruthlessly
Joseph had every reason to flex on these brothers. Period.
They sold him, plotted on him, left him for dead—like he was just some dusty dreamer. But instead of spinning the block in full Pharaoh drip, he chose to forgive. Not because they deserved it—but because he didn’t need revenge.
Let’s be real: he was the king.
Why hold grudges when you already have all the power?
He didn’t go chasing apologies. He didn’t go looking for his brothers. He was busy ruling, while they were starving. He held the grain, the crown, and their fate in his hands.
And his legacy? Yeah, it was revenge—but God-style.
Restoration was the flex. Grace was the weapon.
Joseph didn’t just get back what he lost—he got leveled up in front of the very ones who buried him.
“You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.”
—Genesis 50:20 (NIV)
So sis, let them talk. Let them plot. Let them envy you, mock you. Sometimes they wish they can be you.
And when it does, don’t shrink.
Walk in the room like the royalty you are. With humility. With heat. With holy power.
Because when you wear your mantle, God will make sure they bow, they eat, and you reign. Of, course I did it.
