“And
Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am
faint: therefore was his name called Edom.” (Genesis 25: 30)
Your appetite can lead you into
trouble if you are not careful. Men fail when they yield to diverse temptations. Answers to prayers come to you
through altars.
In Gen 25:22, Rebekah became pregnant with a set of twins, Esau and
Jacob, and inside her womb, was a battle for supremacy. Anyone who tells you life does not have battles is deceiving you. That
is why I always feel sorry for those who come to church but are lukewarm. The
reason the descendants of Esau can never defeat those of Jacob is because even before
Esau and Jacob came into the world, Jacob had already defeated Esau in the
womb. He settled it there.
If you must win the battles in your
job, business, marriage, education, etc, you need to settle it from day one.
January is the best time to start but February isn’t bad. Win your battles
early and make the battles of the other months a stroll in the park.
The fact that God wishes something
for you doesn’t mean you will automatically get it. You need to rearrange
yourself to make it happen. Good things don’t just happen. Good people make
them happen. Any battle you have won cannot be un-won.
You will defeat any human being and
power that contends with you this year. You will defeat every contrary prophesy
and satanic utterance from any other altar. The powers that once held you have
released you. You will defeat those that want to take your job, your destiny,
and your life, in the name of Jesus.
WORDS OF WISDOM: When an Esau grieves the mother, she turns around
to support Jacob.
PRAYER/CONFESSION:
Father, by Your grace, help me to give birth to my
blessings and opportunities.
