THE CHALLENGES OF LIFE
Memorise: And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgement, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there. Ecclesiastes 3:16
Read: Genesis 25:19-23.
MESSAGE!
Looking at the life of Esau, one cannot but learn a
few lessons from him. Esau was the firstborn of
Isaac. He was a twin. Being the first of the twins, he
was supposed to inherit the double portion blessing
meant for firstborns. But he had a major challenge:
before his birth, a prophecy that would rob him of
his rightful place had already gone forth. His
problem started while he was still in the womb of
his mother! Esau’s mother, Rebekah, has a lot of
discomfort during her pregnancy, and so she went
to ask the Lord what the matter was.
“And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in
thy womb, and two manner of people shall be
separated from thy bowels; and the one people
shall be stronger that the other people; and the
elder shall serve the younger.” Genesis 25:23
The forces that would truncate Esau’s destiny were
already in place before his birth. Therefore, from
the very day he was born, he was born into trouble.
Do you know that like Esau, many people are born
into trouble? Before Moses was born, the decree
that made it illegal for him to live had already been
passed. He was born to die prematurely, but God
stepped into the scene and preserved his life
(Exodus 1:15-2:9). Similarly, after Jesus was born, a
decree was passed to kill Him (Matthew 2:13-19).
King Herod and his army were on the lookout for
Him. They searched so thoroughly that for the child
Jesus to be safe, God had to instruct Joseph to
escape with Him to another country, Egypt. The
Lord who delivered Moses and Jesus will also
deliver you! Have some people seen your destiny
while you were in your mother’s womb, and
declared war against you? The Lord will arise for
you and put them to shame in Jesus’ Name.
We should learn from the circumstances
surrounding Esau’s life that you cannot correctly
compare one person with another, because their
foundations are not the same. One of them might
make easy progress in life with no trouble at all,
because he or she was born into peace, while the
other fellow may have been battling to survive even
from the mother’s womb. Every battle that pre-
dates your birth is terminated today! The Lord will
put to flight all unknown enemies working against
your destiny!
Prayer Point
I paralyse every destiny manipulator or
destroyer, sent on a mission against me, my
family and members of my church, in Jesus’
Name.
