Birthright No Profit.

Text: Genesis 25:31-33 (KJV)

31And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.32 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.

We need to be careful not to lose our flavour because of temporal benefits.  There are several people with flavour as an inheritance but the profit slipped off their hands carelessly.  Do you know there is an inheritance in you that the enemy is fighting to possess? In our world of today, we see a common character in the individuals where they sell off their birthrights in different fields of life. These birthrights are sold off in various forms like as rights, entitlements, gifts, talents, skill etc. Surprisingly, people have made it a way of life all for the sake of money and fame and lose the most eternal profit, but it is not meant to be so. The truth is, every day we wake up, it is another opportunity for us to regain whatever we have lost, but instead many sell off without any profit. These birthrights are our possessions from birth, it is your heavenly endowment and it has been given to us because it will be needed in our time and future. There are blessings given to us from the Father, and He has a reason for it because He has a plan for us, and these blessings are meant to enhance those plans. Jeremiah 29:11- For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

The truth is that physical desires like food, money, fame, clothing etc. are only for a moment, so we should ask ourselves this question: What happens after I have gained this temporary desire? Who would have thought that only for food, Esau would have sold his generational blessings? And today many are selling theirs and deny all the acrewed profits. Many have carelessly sold off their inheritance just because of gain and hunger of today which kept many stranded. May we not dispose what will make our next generation not to struggle for life?  We should not sell off our God’s endowment because of temporal benefits and satisfactions. Romans 9:12-13- It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. We must be very careful to know what we are signing off and also when we are taking such destiny molding decisions. We should not forget tomorrow’s gain and blessings all for today selfish desires because once we take that decision, we cannot reverse it, but instead we become slaves for life. Although God is merciful to His own, we should value our birthrights and not to lose the profit. I pray God will help us, in Jesus name.
