Your Inheritance is important.

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.

In our world of today, we see a common character in the individuals of today, they sell off their birthrights in different fields of life. These birthrights are sold off in various forms. People have made it a way of life all for the sake of money and fame, 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 we sell it off. These birthrights are our possessions from birth and it has been given to us because it will be needed in the 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 this 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, the physical desires like food, money, fame, 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. 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’s 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. I pray God will help us, in Jesus name. 

PRAYER POINTS: 

1. LORD, please help me not to compromise because of those temporary benefits in our time, in Jesus name. 

2. Father, I collect back all my inheritances that I have lost in Jesus name.
