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.
Beloved, it is wake up time, wake up time to invest in yourself and the lives of your loved ones. Why? It is time for you to increase on all sides; spiritually, physically, mentally, financially, you just name it. It is time to move beyond your present location and finances which appear juicy but are just as good as staying in Potiphar’s house. Now is the appointed time to stand before the Pharaoh of your time and take up your divine position in life in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
