Genesis 37:8  "His brothers said to him, “Are you indeed to reign over us?  Or are you indeed to rule over us?” So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words."

Luke 19:14  "But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this man to reign over us.’"

When Joseph told his family of his dreams, they were outraged at the suggestion that their younger brother would reign over them. They simply had no idea that God would make Joseph exactly the kind of ruler they needed.
Likewise, the world is outraged with Yeshua's (Jesus) claim to be ruler of this world. Never mind that His astounding humility completely qualifies Him to be loved, worshiped and respected.
Joseph won the hearts of his brothers by the grace, forgiveness and love that he showed them after they had rejected and sought to kill him. Jesus wins our hearts the same way, and yet we still find resistance to His authority in some areas of our lives.
The longer I walk as a believer, the more I find myself between two realities. As my life becomes more consecrated and I realize how Holy He truly is, I become increasingly aware of my own true condition, "Woe is me, for I’m a man of unclean lips!"  My life may seem to be holier to the world, while inside my spirit is crying out, "Lord, Help me!"  It's because I can see and feel more clearly the areas in my soul that are still not submitted to Him. Yet, His Spirit is constantly nudging me, "I want this part of your life too!"
If the Spirit of God is nudging you to surrender something, somehow, somewhere… it’s time to give it over to Him . Don’t wait another day. Take a moment and say once again, "Lord I want you to reign over all my life!"
