Joseph’s Seasons
- The coat of many colors: According to Savchuk, this is the season when God places a call on your life, and you receive this calling as a promise from the Lord. “If you track his story carefully, you will see that the first season started when his father gave him a coat of many colors,” Savchuk says. “In fact, it was such a good season that he started to dream that one day his brothers will bow to him. He started to dream that one day he impact the world.”
- Prisoner garments: This is a more difficult and “hellish” season, where Potiphar’s wife stole the clothing from Joseph and lied about what happened between the two. This saw Joseph imprisoned in horrific conditions. “This hard season landed Joseph into a hellish season,” Savchuk explains. “And this was a season where the Scripture says he wore prisoners garments…some of you are in the season where somebody changed your clothing, where somebody ripped a garment off of you, lied about you, fired you, divorced you, broke up with you, and your life went from great to hellish, and men were responsible, and they were ripping garments off of your life. But there is a God in heaven who is watching over His Word and the promise He gave you.”
- Pharaoh’s garments: Joseph would not be removed from these garments for the remainder of his life because after the hardship and the season of breaking in prison, he was ready to assume the role God had for him in life. “God will introduce His process where He’s going to develop me, where He’s going to break me, where He’s gonna to crush me, where He’s gonna purify me, where He’s going to expose the ugliness in my own heart,” Savchuk reveals. “…Things in themselves don’t have to be good for God to put them together for your good.”
The story of Joseph teaches us that even in the most challenging seasons, God is working to shape our hearts and align them with His purpose. Joseph endured betrayal, imprisonment and rejection from those closest to him, yet each hardship was part of God’s refining process, drawing Joseph’s heart closer to Him. Likewise, we can look at our own lives and see that God is using the difficult relationships and painful circumstances not to harm us, but to cultivate a heart consecrated to Him.
In these seasons, God is not absent but is carefully molding us, just as He did with Joseph, to prepare us for His greater plans. Through these trials, God reminds us that His purpose prevails, transforming what was meant for harm into blessings that align our lives with His perfect will.
