The Esau syndrome

Watch out for the Esau syndrome 

Hebrew 12:16-17

Watch out for the Esau syndrome: trading away God's lifelong gift in order to satisfy a short-term appetite.

 You well know how Esau later regretted that impulsive act and wanted God's blessing—but by then it was too late, tears or no tears(MSG).

Oh! the Esau's syndrome, watch it. Babylon has taken over our city, they present their merchandise enticing. Just as Jacob's pottage before Esau, they are dangling it before us. They know the worth of what we are carrying, so they bring their proposal.

Genesis 25:31-32

 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.

And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?.

Ha!..Esau,  look at his repsonse"What shall this birthright do to me". So many believers on this line, learn from Esau. He taught he can trade the birthright and still get the blessing, He never knew that the birthright is the gateway to the blessing. The birthright validates the blessing. Esau despise His birthright and loose the blessing. 

My counsel for you today is this, nothing in this life can satisfy or go for an exchange for what we have receive in Christ. 

Watch your appetite, contend for what you have receive in Christ, acknowledge it and cherish it.
