TOPIC: DO NOT SELL YOUR CONSCIENCE.
TEXT: GEN 25:30-34.
MESSAGE
A lot of people are living in bondage today because they at one time or the other sold their birthright. Their words and personalities no longer count. It is evil or mistake cut across all walks of life. The people of old sold out and generations yet unborn will still fall into this evil. In many areas we have mortgaged our salaries, business, properties because of exigencies. We have bargain blindly or innocently somehow and are falling into the hands of unscrupulous men/women thus loosing our right, properties and credence. From our reading this morning, we are told about the unhealthy bargain between two blood Brothers.
Although the event was divinely predestined it was ill fated. The right was Esau by birth, but Jacob's by promise. It was a spiritual privilege born of greed by both parties, Jacob's desire of the birthright which he ought to obtain by the crook when he coveted the identity. He was not vying for the physical inheritance of their father's property as though his elder brother Esau who treated it with levity. Jacob had the knowledge of the covenant between God and Abraham is grandfather and also between Isaac his father in which Esau foolishly despise and sold for a plate of pottage to satisfy him or quench his hunger. Verse 32 of our text says,
"And Esau said behold I am at the point to die and what profit shall his birthright do me?" Vs 33 "and Jacob said, Swear to me this day: and Esau sware unto him and he sold his birthright to Jacob". Beloved, how urgent is that matter that you cannot bear? There is the right solution for every question in life. Just be patient and maintain the right attitude. The answer will come to you and you will not regret. Good day
