OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR SATURDAY, 14th NOVEMBER, 2015 Nov 14th 2015, 07:10, by Amos Babatunde Jayesimi OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: SATURDAY 14TH NOVEMBER 2015 THEME: THE CHALLENGES OF LIFE Memorise: And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there. Ecclesiastes 3:16 Read: Genesis 25:19-23 19 And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac: 20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian. 21 And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. 22 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD. 23 And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger. Message Looking at the life of Esau, one cannot but learn a few lessons from him. Esau was the firstborn of Isaac. He was a twin. Being the first of the twins, he was supposed to inherit the double portion blessing meant for firstborns. But he had a major challenge: before his birth, a prophecy that would rob him of his rightful place had already gone forth. His problem started while he was still in the womb of his mother! Esau's mother, Rebekah, had a lot of discomfort during her pregnancy, and so she went to ask the Lord what the matter was. "And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger." Genesis 25:23 The forces that would truncate Esau's destiny were already in place before his birth. Therefore, from the very day he was born, he was born into trouble. Do you know that like Esau, many people are born into trouble? Before Moses was born, the decree that made it illegal for him to live had already been passed. He was born to die prematurely, but God stepped into the scene and preserved his life (Exodus 1:15-2:9). Similarly, after Jesus was born, a decree was passed to kill Him (Matthew 2:13-19). King Herod and his army were on the lookout for Him. They searched so thoroughly that for the child Jesus to be safe, God had to instruct Joseph to escape with Him to another country, Egypt. The Lord who delivered Moses and Jesus will also deliver you! Have some people seen your destiny while you were in your mother's womb, and declared war against you? The Lord will arise for you and put them to shame in Jesus' Name. We should learn from the circumstances surrounding Esau's life that you cannot correctly compare one person with another, because their foundations are not the same. One of them might make easy progress in life with no trouble at all, because he or she was born into peace, while the other fellow may have been battling to survive even from the mother's womb. Every battle that pre-dates your birth is terminated today! The Lord will put to flight all unknown enemies working against your destiny! Prayer Point: I paralyse every destiny manipulator or destroyer, sent on a mission against me, my family and members of my church, in Jesus' Name. BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: JOB 16:19 and 2nd THESSALONIANS 2:13-3:18 AUTHOR: Pst. E. A. ADEBOYE
