Chapter 1: Understanding hatred
Lesson 3A, revealing the hidden interpretations of Joseph's first dream. By messenger of the bridegroom, we continue our lesson by learning from the dreams of Joseph whom the wisdom of the Lord uses to teach us about the higher and deeper dimensions of dreams. Please read with your spiritual understanding. Thank you. One, under the Old Testament, the wisdom of God uses Joseph to represent both Jesus Christ, who is revealed under the New Testament as the savior of the souls from the famine of the bread of life, and also you, the believer, also called the church, who are born again, purified, sanctified, cleansed, and are made one with Christ to save souls from the same famine.
two. According to Genesis 37:21, here were the reasons why Joseph's brethren hated him. Jacob their father loved him more than all his other children, because Joseph was the son of his old age, and he Jacob made clothed him with a coat of many colors. Joseph kept bringing, reporting the evil reports of his brethren under their further Jacob. Joseph received two critical dreams from God that carried two separate high-level revelations which we are about to explain.
Three, in a similar way, your ancestral family which is including all those in your life who have allowed the forces of darkness to possess and inhabit them hate you. And here are their reasons why. Your heavenly aba father loves you, the church above all who are upon the earth. Since you have invited his beloved son Jesus Christ to live abide in you and you have also made him your personal Lord and Savior and you have become one with him in order words you are his child whom he has begotten and sent into this world during these final days called the generation of Jesus Christ. Matthew 1:1 In addition to that, he has wrapped covered both your spirit and soul with their respective coats of many colors.
And to make the invisible powers of darkness, even more jealous, he has gone the extra mile to wrap cover your physical bodies with beautiful skins of many colors, some dark, some fair, and all the colors, complexions that are in between. Dear beloved, if you have never heard it before, then please let this truth be told unto you today. There are certain folks on this planet called carriers of the powers of darkness who hate, grade, despise, and above all hate you just because of your skin color so much so that they have made a pact, deal with Jezebel to manipulate you to bleach your skin, or perhaps apply strange colors to change its god-given color. Yes. In the next part, we shall reveal and explain the mysteries, purposes, reasons why God has clothed us with different skin colors, complexions.
Another reason why they hate you, just as the brothers hated Joseph, is this. You are the only one on whom your heavenly Aba further depends to keep offering intercessions, which often include presenting before the throne the evil reports, also known as the sins of your unsaved brethren, who are scattered all over the nations. And for that those powers of dark nest that inhabit those brethren hate you greatly. Racism is simply the tiny drips that manage to get out of the oceans of hatred that are violently swirling inside the hearts of all in whom those powers of darkness inhabit. More of that in the next part.
Finally, their ultimate reason why they hate you, which is similar to why they hated Joseph. Is this your exclusive highlevel privilege to receive dreams directly from the desk of the Almighty? Especially those dreams which keep reminding you about your glorious calling and your soon-to-be royal wedding with Christ, your bridegroom, and your eternal kingship under him. A privilege which sadly the average believer often places less value on. Let it be known unto you that they greatly hate you because of your ability to receive dreams when you sleep.
But the good news is this. The more they hate you, the more your heavenly aba further keeps multiplying, showering his everlasting blessings of love, comfort, and joy upon you, your households, and church families. Four. So then, if it ever occurs to you that those folks who are not yet one with Jesus Christ are ever going to love you with the love of God in ways similar to how you love them with the love of God, do not expect, count on that, because it is never going to happen. And here is the simple reason.
Until the day they invite Christ into their hearts to cast out all those powers of darkness abiding in them, they are always going to be incapable of loving you with the love of Christ. They simply don't have that form of love within them. And before you argue that their smiles, hugs, gifts, which they shower on you are enough evidence, proof that they love you, first do this. Ask
Chapter 2: Interpreting dreams
the Holy Spirit to allow you to see their true intentions, wishes which they hide against you in their hearts and behind those smiles, hugs, gifts. Also ask the Holy Spirit to allow you to witness one of their spiritual meetings which they organize every night in their astral, marine, subterranean kingdoms. And when you do, carefully listen to the hatred, accusations, curses, and insults which they spit against you. When the Holy Spirit grants you that chance, do your best to pay attention to their main accusation, which is always this, the fact that you seem to love everyone, including them, with the love of your Christ, and the fact that you give them no real reason for them to hate you. It is when the Lord allows you to listen in on one of their meetings, that is when you would realize that indeed Jesus Christ is the one and only true lover of your soul.
Here is how the Lord uses John 15 colon 18:19 to explain this serious matter to our level of understanding. If the world hates you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own. But because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. John 15:18. Therefore, whenever you love others with the love of Christ, do so with the understanding that you are doing it for God and not for them.
And do so without expecting any love in return. Otherwise, your heart may hurt badly and your emotions may crush miserably when they pay you back with their true evil natures. Five. In short, the brothers hated Joseph because of his father's old age love for him and for his coat of many colors and for his evil reports presentations and finally for his two dreams which we are about to explain. And in the same similar way, the children, powers, systems of the world hate you because of your heavenly abur.
There's love, also known as the ancient of days, end time salvation, love for you and for your skin color, and for your plenty prayers of intercessions, and above all, for your nightly dreams. Six. Joseph's first dream was about the sheavs in the field, which corresponds to God's promise to multiply Abraham's descendants as the sand upon the seashore. His second dream was about the stars up in the skies, which corresponds to God's promise to multiply those same descendants as the stars of heaven. that in blessings I will bless thee and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is upon the seashore and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies.
Genesis 22:17 to help us understand this lesson let us refer to his first dream about the sheav as earthly terrestrial and the second dream about the stars as heavenly celestial. There are also celestial bodies and bodies terrestrial but the glory of the celestial is one and the glory of the terrestrial is another one. Corinthians 15:40 8 The mystery which the wisdom of God uses Joseph's dreams to teach you and I which has remained hidden since the day he received them is this. If you take a closer look examination at all the dreams which God has ever sent to you including all the future ones which he is going to send you would realize they can be divided grouped into those same two categories namely earthly terrestrial and heavenly celestial. Earthly terrestrial dreams are the ones which God uses to inform, update, direct you about physical matters that go on in the physical realms and also about your role as his fruitful vine branch and his faithful laborer plowman within throughout the visible realms and upon the merciful fields of souls.
John 15 v 5 1 Corinthians 15:10 Luke 9:62. Heavenly celestial dreams are the ones which he uses to inform, update, direct you about spiritual matters that go on in the spiritual realms and also about your role as his conquering battle acts and his consuming fire star within throughout the invisible realms and upon the merciless fields of spirits. Jeremiah 51:20, Philippians 2:15, 2 Corinthians 10:4. Please continue reading slowly with your spiritual understanding and with great patience. It gives the Holy Spirit enough time to gently weave knit what you are reading into the invisible fabrics dimensions of your understanding.
Amen. Nine. As a reminder from part two of this lesson, the level of interpretation, guidance which the grace would allow you to receive by default depends on which of the five
Chapter 3: The impact of interpretation
phases of life you have chosen and have allowed yourself to abide anchor within 10, at the time when Joseph received the dreams, he and his brethren were all still living anchored in their nursery phase since they were still living under or near the roofs of their father Jacob. Because of that they were only able to receive the nursery phase interpretations of his dreams and their corresponding directions as we are about to explain. 11 comma let us consider the first dream which we are also familiar with. Here is it. And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren, and they hated him yet the more.
And he said unto them, "Here I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed. For behold, we were binding sheav in the field, and lo, my sheath arose, and also stood upright, and behold, your sheav stood round about and made obeisance to my sheath." Genesis 37:57. According to Genesis 37 to8, here is his dreams nursery phases interpretation which the evil that was abiding in his brethren took advantage of and used to fuel their hatred for him in some days to come. Joseph was going to reign and have dominion over them.
And this did not sit well at all with both the evil nature that was in their hearts and their woefully underdeveloped nursery phase self selflessness natures. So much so that it moved them to start plitting evil against him. Please note this. The very same dream which God sent to bless each one of them ended up becoming a reason for a murder plot. And it was all because of the phase of their lives in which they stood to interpret it.
If they had chosen and stood in their Egypt's phase, here would have been the Egypt Gossen level interpretation, guidance which they would have received, fruitfulness, abundance, riches, prosperity, and all what Ecclesiastes one to two calls vanity were surely getting ready to visit their lives, tabernacles in the years, decades ahead, and that they should start strategizing, preparing by building, expanding their sacks, barns for the fill up, when the time is due. And from this interpretation, the prospect, joy of the fruitfulness, abundance, riches, and prosperity alone would have gotten into them, so much so that it would have been enough to cause them to ignore, give a blind eye, and or even embrace, celebrate whatsoever dominion which Joseph was going to possess, exercise over them, joy would have overthrown, replaced their hatred. This case is similar to how most believers who choose to remain stuck in their Egypt's phase often interpret their dreams by choosing to focus embrace only the vanity fruitfulness abundance riches and prosperity aspects. Often these get into them so much so that they ignore give a blind eye and or even embrace celebrate the dominion which mammon is going to use that very same prosperity to rule them. There are also some of us who often allow the prospect, joy to cause us to forget the word, prayer, fasting, the self-discipline, self-sacrifice, and the commitment work which we must invest for those dreams to come to pass if they had chosen and stood in.
For example, their awakening phase here would have been the awakening level interpretation guidance which that phase's grace would have given them. They were more than some feeble individuals born to a certain old man called Jacob. And that they were as bundles of branches, with each of them loaded with abundant seeds that have diverse potentials of multiplying beyond measure, just as the Lord had promised Abraham their grandfather, and that they needed to be keepers of one another, so that bugs called demons, evil, do not get the chance to enter, steal, kill, and destroy their precious kernels. In hort, they would have understood that the dream has nothing to do with God conspiring with Joseph to humble, reduce them into some miserable servants, as Satan had deceived them to think. Rather, it was to remind and confirm what God has created them to be in this terrestrial world or their true physical identity, which was this, God's harvested and hand-chosen sheav loaded with infinite seeds, each with the divine ability to be fruitful and to multiply exactly as the Lord had promised Abraham and Isaac, their grandparents.
Then again, if they had taken a moment and had asked the Lord to give them the encampment phase interpretation of the same dream, here would have been the higher level interpretation guidance which that phase's grace would have given them here on earth. Or in this terrestrial realm, he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. In Matthew 23:11, they would have understood that God has placed Joseph in their lives as an opportunity for each of them to decide, define, set the boundaries of their greatness and also the greatness of their descendants or future tribes by supporting, serving, helping him or in other words by washing his feet and by doing so with humility, loneliness even as they lived or encamped around him as their little brother. It is similar to how the Almighty has placed Jesus Christ called the poor needy among us and in our neighborhoods, streets as opportunities for each of us to decide, define, set the boundaries of our individual greatness and also the greatness of our descendants or future tribes by supporting, serving, helping them or in other words by washing their feet, and by doing so with humility, loneliness even as we live or encamp around them as our fellow fellow sheep. If Joseph's brothers had chosen, stood in their encampment phase, they would have understood that the dream was a direction, guide to teach them what they ought to do in life, known as their calling, and how to do, fulfill it known as loving, serving Joseph, who was the least among them, as they would do for the Lord.
Verily, I say unto you, in as much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Matthew 25:40. So that was how a glorious dream intended to bless them with the gateway to greatness ended up rather reducing them to workers plotters of evil. And then again it was all because of their choice to use their knowhow to interpret the dream instead of writing it down and presenting it before the Lord and by asking seeking knocking to find out if there were any highlevel interpretations guidances which he needed them to know as well. Dear beloved, are you noting and patiently gathering, learning all the pieces of revelations which this lesson is presenting right before our eyes?
Finally, if they had asked, sought, knocked for the Lord to grant them their calling fulfillment faces, interpretation, guidance of that same dream, here is the understanding which the Lord would have given them in their latter days. After they had taken on their multiplied natures, they were going to end up on a field where they shall be recognized as bundles called tribes and shall be bound as slaves by gruesome ropes called the laws of Egypt with absolutely no exception. Not even the tribe of Joseph exactly as the Lord had revealed to Abraham their grandfather as we read in Genesis 15:13. In addition to that, here would have been that phase's direction, guidance or prayer topic which the all merciful would have added unto them to offer sacrifices with prayers to reduce, lessen, mitigate if not to eliminate whatsoever harshness, cruelty, pain, suffering by which the ropes, whips of Egypt were going to inflict on their descendants bondage when that time arrived. They would have also understood that the same dream which Satan had used to deceive, drive them to plot murder against their own brother, was actually a prayer topic and a direction, guidance for them to lighten and or break an imminent unbearable yoke that was awaiting their future descendants, generations in a strange land.
So then God did his part by packaging pure deliverance in the form of the elimination subtraction of their
Chapter 4: Intercession and inheritance
descendants sufferings from their destinies and by placing the entire package right in the mighty hands of their prayer powers. Yes, they received the package offer all right but sadly they lacked what was required to decipher understand it. Their lack of knowledge did its best to blind, rob them of their divine golden opportunity to change, transform the slavery futures of their innocent descendants into lightly yolked kinds, 12 comma. Dear beloved, do you see the areas in our own lives where the Holy Spirit is using this lesson to expose, highlight, heal? The Lord always loads our dreams, visions, and prophecies with similar divine golden opportunities to make life easier, better for ourselves, and for our innocent children and their descendants.
But sadly, what our parents did with theirs and what we often do with ours are not so different from what Joseph's brothers did with theirs. Sadly, our prayers, fasting, often go as far as unto ourselves, our children, and our businesses. That's it. We hardly extend them unto our children's children with the assumption hope that somehow our children may fend for themselves by taking on that responsibility. You see, naturally, most parents are often good at leaving behind physical wealth and lots of spiritual debts as inheritances for their children's children generation.
They don't usually leave them with lots of physical debts and spiritual wealth. The Lord needs us all to prioritize leaving them with great spiritual wealth first, and that would be enough to gather, fetch them their gold, myrr, frankincense, called their just enough physical wealth, which they might need to fulfill their narrow weight callings. A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children. Proverbs 13:2213, let's take a deeper look at how it so happened that no one interceded to eliminate, subtract, reduce the slavery, sufferings from the lives of the children of Israel under Pharaoh. Solon 14 comma in Genesis 15:13 when Abraham first received the word that there was an impending 400 years of slavery ahead of his descendants.
We do not read about any intercession to change that as we do read about his passionate and persistent intercession for Sodom and Gomorrah when he received the word about their impending destruction as we read in Genesis 18:16-33. We also do not read about Isaac or Jacob ever taking the prayer topic upon themselves. No, rather they were more focused on God prospering, blessing them first, and secondly multiplying their descendants as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is upon the seashore. As we read in Genesis 22:17 when God lowered down heaven's ladder for Jacob at Bethl, he could have used the opportunity to ascend to heaven to undergo a surgery to eliminate subtract that wonderful hereditary generational mistrust in God's protection which we read in Genesis 20:26 7 and 32-7 completely from his descendants bloodline. He could have also used the opportunity to intercede before the Elohim to eliminate subtract that impending slavery aspect from their 400 years stay in Egypt.
But sadly he chose and did exactly what God is using him to point highlight in our own lives which is this. He never even made a single effort to step on that ladder even after the angels went as far as ascending and descending to demonstrate show him how. Instead, his main concern, which he demanded, was for God to bless him with protection, bread to eat, and raignment to put on. And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, "If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go and will give me bread to eat and raignment to put on, so that I come again to my father's house in peace. Then shall the Lord be my God."
Genesis 28:201. protection from the demons, Satanists, witches, riches, supplies, bread to eat, and chariots, possessions, raignment to put on. Yes, those are the same demands which we've been making at our plenty prayer services before the Lord, often with absolutely no mentioning intercessions for our children's descendants since the day Christ lowered down heaven's ladder into the prayer closets of each one of us and demonstrated how to use it to ascend into heaven freely anytime as we read in Acts 1:91 and Revelation 4:1, we should ask, seek, knock for the Holy Spirit to show us how to use our individual ladders as often as we wish. Otherwise, it would never occur unto us to use ours just as it never occurred to Jacob and just as it never occurred unto the disciples until after John was called upon to use his on the island of Patmos. Revelation 4:1.
Dear beloved, are you seeing how perfectly the wisdom of God uses Jacob to teach us our own nature? A wonderful nature which he needs us to repent from. Since Jacob wouldn't ascend the lower down ladder, the Lord took it upon himself to descend to give him the opportunity for him to ask, seek, knock for the surgery to eliminate, subtract both the hereditary mistrust in God's protection out of his descendants bloodline, and the impending slavery out of their future. dislocate his hipbone. Perhaps the pain may cause him to ask, seek, knock for healing, and that would give the Lord the legal right to add, include the very divine surgery to eliminate, subtract that mistrust nature, and the impending slavery, the very surgery which he had descended as Jehovah, the healer, to perform, administer.
But as we all know and as you and I do similar Jacob turned the Lord's visitation into an all-night wrestling match for more and more blessings. He would rather wobble limp on his journey with weighty blessings and with an unhealed hip leg than with his own healing, let alone with that of his descendants. The lesson here is this simple. Anytime we enter our wrestling travailing intercessions much as with the Lord, he tears apart our entire salvation and dislocates every lukewarmness shortcoming out of its socket in our lives. The procedure also flushes, drains out all that sluggish, lethargic zeal consuming lymph that makes it so
Chapter 5: Prophetic role of children
burdensome to read the word, pray, fast, and trek the streets with evangelize. And as we ask, seek not for him to heal, revive our relationship with him, we unknowingly offer him the legal right to add, inject his life of holiness into our salvation before plugging it back into its cleaned out anointing fil socket just as he did with the seven churches during John's Patmo's wrestling match with him in Revelation 2 and three. Again he convicts, shakes, dislocates our lukewarm infected salvation, not to shame, condemn us, but to offer us the golden divine chance opportunity to ask, seek, knock for him to heal, restore us unto himself as his holiness branches, church, without spot, wrinkle. Here is how he explains it to us. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasen.
Revelation 3:1 19. Therefore, before we end our wrestling matches with him, we must always ensure we get out of our prayer closets first with our healed aligned leg footing called our own salvation holiness walk with him so we do not wobble limp on our narrow way journey. Matthew 7:5 calls it first casting the beam out of our own eye. And after doing that, let us remember to do the same for our children, descendants, by eliminating, subtracting every impending lukewarmness, shortcoming from their future salvation, holiness, journey with Christ, and also every form of slavery, suffering from their futures. And when we first ensure, do that the Lord promises to add all things, blessings unto us.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33. Here is how Christ did the same for you and I inside his prayer closet. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word, that they all may be one, as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us, that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. John 17:201.
There is the halftruth that says God reveals to redeem. And there is also its narrow ways complete truth that says God reveals to redeem when we use our ancient weapons called the word prayer fasting to work out and secure confirm the redemption with him. Let us always live by the complete truth and let us teach the Lord's children to do the same. Jacob didn't have a copy of the Bible to learn from and he also didn't have the Holy Spirit baptism. We who are witnesses to ourselves that God has given us all must do more after not pointing the finger at his shortcomings.
This is because for unto whomsoever much is given of him shall be much required. Luke 12:48. Since the Holy Spirit is not judging us, but is using this message to perfect our narrow way journey to heaven, may we all express our thanks, appreciation, and respect for his love and care by using the grace to understand, apply, and teach these lessons unto the Lord's children and our church families in the mighty name of Jesus, 16 comma. So then the core of this lesson is this. A huge portion of our responsibility to learn how to receive, interpret dreams, involves learning.
Mastering the following, how to harvest, gather them from ourselves and from the mouths of those around us and in our households. How to categorize them into earthly, terrestrial, and heavenly celestial. How to ask, seek, knock for the Holy Spirit to reveal unto us all of their levels of interpretations, 17 call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things which you do not know. Jeremiah 33:3. This means even if we happen to be in our lower phases of our lives, we can still use Jeremiah 33:3 as a legal cause to override our unworthiness and ask, seek, knock for the Holy Spirit to reveal unto us higher phases of interpretations, including even all the extra secret things which we do not deserve to know.
And each one of us can do that by walking in the steps laid down for us by Luke 18:7 and by persistently shaking the entire throne room of our heavenly abba father and by giving him absolutely no peace rest day and night. You can also use at the familiar narrow way master key code prayer which Christ has given unto you has chosen for you to use in urgent cases of emergency. Here is it. Ask the Lord not to look upon your unworthiness, but upon his bleeding and suffering son, Jesus Christ, hanging on the cross, to do, give you things which both you and your lower face make, render you unworthy of receiving. The humble and lowly great prophet Daniel with all his great prophetic wisdom did not allow his knowhows and or his limitations to hinder prevent him from using his ancient weapon fasting to seek God for higher level interpretations of dreams visions prophecies as we read in Daniel 217 verse we must all learn from that and ensure our knowhows and limitations never get in our way 18 comma in the previous lesson we explained explained how God would do nothing without first revealing his secret unto his servants, the prophets.
Since all who are one with Christ are also his prophets, it means every person under your roof who is one with Christ is also a prophet and is automatically a chosen vessel avenue through which God sends dreams that conceal hide secrets about what he would do and what would happen in the days ahead. 19 comma since we know that the keys to the wisdom ways of the kingdom are with the ants who according to heaven's dictionary and known as the humble and lowly least among us called our children. We have to make it our priority habit to start fishing, harvesting for the dreams which the Lord has been sending through every humble lowly child person who is living in their nursery faces under our roofs and beyond our households. Comma 20, we just explained how the little boy Joseph's entire family missed a critical generational opportunity by allowing their pride hiness to despise hate Joseph and his dreams. In 2 Kings 5, we also read how factors such as Nemon's high reputation, which later on went on full display, viral when asked to dip himself into the Jordan, worked together with his busy schedule to place a barrier between him and the very same humble, lowly made in whose mouth were the very prophetic keys, words, direction that had the power to show, open the door to the healing of his leprosy, Nemon would have went home and to his grave with his leprosy problem if the status gap between his pride hortiness and the humble lowly natures of both the maiden Elisha's word had not been bridged and again we also read how this same status gap tried but failed to separate block the boy David from coming into contact with king Saul and eventually with Goliath whereas his own brothers who were members of his own household saw his word prophecy to destroy Goliath as naughtinous useless The other soldiers called strangers who weren't members of his own household, saw it as the divine key to the very memorable destiny fulfillment of victory which they had left their families and risked their lives to wage war for.
Here is what we can learn from all those examples. There are many reasons why the wisdom of God blesses us with children and allows them to remain young, humble, lowly under our care for years before they leave their father's house to begin their lives. Here is one of those reasons which is related to our lesson. God uses their mouths as readily available promised lands that flows supplies us with dreams, visions and prophecies to bless our households especially during the times when our busy schedules and our high statuses render our spirits, souls, bodies unready of receiving from the Lord. For in their mouths has the Lord ordained strength, including the strength to foresee and change the times, destinies of our descendants for the better.
Psalm 8:2. Therefore for any given household whereas the duty job responsibility of providing food resources for the family belongs to the parents the undisputed champions and providers suppliers of dreams visions prophecies are the children including the humble lowly and the least esteemed in our households as responsible parents. We monitor them day night and we make sure they use utilize the shelter, clothes, food, money, help which God provides for them through us. And we are so quick at interrogating, rebuking, warning them against the hidden traps, dangers, risks that come with their choice to seek, solicit those same provisions from ungodly strangers elsewhere. The time has come for us to start using the dreams, visions, prophecies which God provides through them for us, our households, and our unborn descendants.
And we must be so quick at interrogating, rebuking, warning our own selves against the hidden traps, dangers, risks that come with our choice to seek, solicit those same directives, prophecies from ungodly spiritualists, prophets elsewhere. The witches are wise enough to recognize the sacredness spirituality of the children among them. So much so that they crown them kings, queens, just so they can inquire, harvest, extract the words of their mouths, and use as directives, prophecies to lead, guide their covens, operations. We who are witnesses to ourselves that we know and see better than them must repent of how we hardly see any need to inquire. harvest.
Listen to the dreams, visions, prophecies of our children, including every humble lowly soul living in our households and beyond. If the witches know how to greatly reward their children for their services, we Okay.
