Joseph was sold to slavery by his jealous brothers, who thought it better than to have their hands dirtied by the blood of their younger brother, the favorite of Jacob who send him to spy on them, to Egypt, and after undergoing hardship, humiliation, injustices in the hands of his Egyptian masters, he was lifted up to become the most powerful, except the King, in the land for his faithfulness in the 'way of his Master - YHVH - the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Peter, an ordinary fisherman, was chosen to be the head of 12 apostles (11 after Judas hanged himself) to spread the Good news which turned the then known world 'upside down' as he and others, by faith, followed the leading of the Spirit of God and embraced 'the way' of the Master even at the expense of their own lives.

Joseph was the name my grandfather from my father's side took to be his first name; my grandpa from my mother's side took the name "Petrus" which means Peter in English. Many Sabahans are blessed with such callings in their lives, as Sabah, formerly known as North Borneo under the British Colonial Government, has a divine calling for the End Time purpose of God. A Malay pastor from Semanjung had a vision that in the spiritual realm, Sabah is the Lion's head, Sandakan being its mouth and Tawau its eyes. What exactly this means will be unveiled in the days to come.
Yet another pastor of a local para-Church organization had in his dream saw heaps of newly printed notes with the mark of Queen of England on it and the word "United States of Borneo" written on it. Yours faithfully had also dreamed of Kota Kinabalu, Kuching and Putra Jaya as 3 national capitals.
