Let’s Pray:
Father God, we come to You on today with our hearts ready to receive our blessings from You, blessings that only You can give as our beloved Father that has given us the Spiritual birthrights we all have as Your children of the righteous. A`-men and a`-men
Lesson: “Stolen Birthrights”
In Revelations 3: 8 it speaks of spiritual doors that God opens and can’t any man shut (please read). You see Jacob was the heir to God’s promises through Abraham (see Gen. 24; 25:23, 29-33), but they were trying to make God’s program happen through their deceit. This lesson is so heartbreaking to me, because so many children suffer at the hands of natural parents do to one child being favored more than another. A child sees this happening in the natural; not fully understanding it all, but they feel sad due to indifference. Most neither children nor do some parents understand the spiritual take it holds for all their lives.
To see how the enemy of envy, malice, strife, discord and greed that was flowing through Rebekah (twin’s mother), this was a devastating spiritual blow of division that was allowed by God. God made it more interesting by allowing the enemy to push the spiritual buttons of Rebekah; trying to get her to force the serving hand of God by way of deceit when she didn’t have to.
What prompt Rebekah’s mind into a manipulating game on Isaac? It was the fact of uncertainty because Isaac was the man of the house that made decisions. He was somewhat over riding the long ago promise of God through Abraham to Jacob; all because of the husband parent trying to change what was already written in the heart of God for Jacob.
Esau and Jacob’s mother Rebekah played a very big part in the deception between the son’s and the father Isaac. I believe the brother Jacob had grown despiteful and resentful toward Esau by listening to their father Isaac which made Jacob want what was already his through Abraham by a promise given by God.
But because a natural parent spoke words that appeared to be okay to take away.“BIRTHRIGHTS” are now threatened to be stolen, so Rebekah out of anger jumped to defend what was wrongfully on the verge of being “STOLEN”. She saw an unjust about to take place against the one she favored (Jacob) who was the rightful heir to the promise.
So Rebekah and Jacob were trying to make God’s program happen through their deceit. What this says to me is that Rebekah should have joined her son in prayer to God and went to Isaac to plead with him to do what was right according to the already made promise by God through Abraham for Jacob; also if Isaac and Rebekah had not allowed any of this to take place through favoritism spiritual entities would not have entered in the family’s love nor the marriage of husband and wife nor would the enemy been given a place in any of their hearts and souls. Favoritism is what set all this in motion!
See how the enemy stirred Rebekah’s soul and ruffled her feathers to a point of spiritual manipulation and deceit came upon her and it involved her son’s to grieve in more ways than one. Parents divided in spirit and in the marriage, due to one parent wanting what was right (Rebekah) which raises a question in my mind; did she love or favored Jacob more because he was chosen by God?
Then there’s Esau, why did Isaac take Esau as his favorite, was it because he was a out doors man or was it because Isaac didn’t want Esau to be left out of receiving a blessing from him (Isaac)? When a parent says they’re going to do something for a child and it catches root and grows in the soul of thought in that child well when it’s time to collect and it doesn’t happen only due to it not being right from the beginning well that child becomes very angry because (dad said I could have it), but it rightfully didn’t belong to you, and the child knew it didn’t, but because dad said it. This says too much honor went into the words of a natural father and not enough honor to what God had already promised to the rightful heir.
I’m Minister Evangelist Lorraine Munerlyn, and I do pray that you all are enjoying the bible study God and I have with many of you that have become my family as well as a friend. Please! Pray for all people because we all belong to God and He loves us all the same. He is no respecter of person.
