Do Not Sell Your Birthright

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha


Esau sold his birthright for a plate of pottage to his younger twin brother because he was famished. Thereafter, he lost the rights to whatever benefits accrued to the first born. Why? Because he had zero regard for the birthright – he despised the birthright. Please read Hebrews Chapter 12 verses 16 to 17 and Genesis Chapter.

Birthrights may differ in today’s world; as they may not necessarily be your position at birth in the family. Your birthright may be your divine IPs divinely given to you by God to fulfill divine purpose, to be a blessing to humanity and prosper as God would have you prosper. They should therefore not be traded for bread which gets digested in a few hours and is excreted as waste from the body. Rather, they should be invested in divine purpose. Bread may not only be physical food; it could be the glitters of life such as fancy clothing, shoes, jewelry, other accessories, positions of power which do not last and do not culminate in the fulfilment of divine purpose. Take for instance a gifted singer who trades in the right to his or her music for bread and ends in penury, frustrated and who knows may turn to drugs. While his or her great voice and singing enriches the people she or he sold the rights to.

I have also seen people; wonderful godly people who pray and God answers their prayers. Rather than pray for their own needs, they keep praying that God would preserve and enrich the people who show them pity generosity and give them peanuts. The question is why not pray such prayers for yourself as Jabez did so that you can also experience a divine turn around. Please read 1st Chronicles Chapter 4 verse 9. This is not to say that you should not pray for other people – but how about investing that divine unction on yourself so that you are not dependent on the pity generosity of other people?

Years back, I invested my divine IPs, the divine unction of prayer and writing in the lives and businesses of other people until God opened my eyes of understanding especially when I cried to Him that I was not prospering. As I began to invest both unctions in my personal life and business, I began to experience divine turnaround and as I write this post, I am still on my knees asking God to increase me and my family on all sides.

Walk in Divine Wisdom

Three things you must do to succeed


Do not chase shadows. A shadow is not merely a reflection of something in light, therefore it is not real. Chasing a shadow will therefore amount to dancing a circular dance of no progress from point A to point B. you may think you are busily engaged while in reality you are doing nothing but chasing shadows. One of the ways of chasing shadows is to be steeped in superstitious beliefs which lead you nowhere. For instance, you may entertain thoughts that certain people, communities or institutions are responsible for your challenges. So rather than confront your challenges head on; for instance getting a job or changing a job; or working hard at multiplying your sources of income; you keep pointing accusing fingers at people, institutions or communities who are spiritually or physically responsible for your challenges.

Beloved, this is 2021, the year of great things and QUALITY PRAISE to the El-SHADDAI GOD who NEVER FAILS. Therefore, SIT UP and do what needs to be done to move you up the mark in life.

You have spent too much time as well as other resources chasing shadows. In essence you have been laboring in vain because you have been laboring in vain because you have consistently lied to yourself and other people with your fairy tales of the people, communities and institutions who are supposedly spiritually responsible for the challenges.

Sing a New Song

Beloved, it is time to sing a new song, a new song, a new song of COURAGE to defy the self-imposed limitations you placed on yourself all these years because you are a frightful kitten; too scared to DARE anything and succeed at it. Perhaps ignorance is one of the reasons you are afraid to DARE to succeed. Why not make the courageous and bold effort to acquire the requisite knowledge to DARE and SUCCEED. You can succeed and should therefore make the bold effort to do so because God wired you at creation to be a SUCCESS.

Increase on all sides

SPREAD OUT, EAST, WEST, NORTH AND SOUTH in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
