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.

Jesus the lover of my soul

 Dear JESUS ❤️

My hands are heavy to the cores of my vains, My heart filled with so much love just waiting to be reviled, My heart so full my brain's numb, and I keep asking my self, what have you done.

This feeling inside of me so strong, But it   still remains stuck at the peak of my tongue, But I know this feeling isn't wrong, But then why can't I speak, Why can't I look into your eyes and tell you how I feel,Why can't I open up to you just like you always do to me,Why can't I show you how I feel.

Maybe it because of the fact that I feel you are too perfect for me, And my chance with you is so slim, Because you keep paying my bills, And I can't even buy my own meal, You defend me when I am in trouble.

And I can't even speak because I miss my words and it syllables, Forget these and let talk about what you've done before, Of how you looked at me and the pains, And decided to make them gains, Of how you extracted my shame.

And you gave me a new name, And this was because you stood up on that cross and told death to excuse you, You blurted out my sins so you could set me free, Freed off those shackles of chain, And  a new life through your love  I have obtained.

What Word can use to express such overwhelming love, A love that isn't rude, A love that isn't egocentric, A love that isn't of mere words, If there is one thing I wanna do is to love you for life.

THE DOORS OF HEAVEN

 THE DOORS OF HEAVEN ( PSALM 78: 23- 29).

Doors signify the channel of passage. A channel through which something tangible or intangible can move in  and out of an enclosed region.  It implies a barricade i.e an embargo especially when it is closed. 

In the Bible a close heaven signify quick judgement, destruction etc. But when it is opened it signify blessings. 

WHEN THE HEAVEN IS CLOSE

Can the doors of heaven be closed against an individual or can it be open for an individual?  The answer to both questions is yes " And thy heaven shall become brass....( Deut. 28:23) and "Bring ye all the tithes onto the storehouse, that there may be meant in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows  of heaven......". 

Doors of heaven and windows of heaven have the same meaning in the Bible. 

When the doors of heaven is closed against an individual, the person find it difficult to make anything meaningful in life.  The person might be a hard working individual but nothing to show for it.  A closed heaven prevent the flow of blessing from God to an individual. 

AN OPENED HEAVEN

When the doors of heaven over an individual life is opened, such an individual get blessings from heaven with ease. Nature begins to act in his or her favor.  An open heaven means free flow of God's presence to release blessings upon your life. Your life becomes a blessing to others. Men, money and nature begin to act in your favour. God Almighty is the only power that can make the doors of heaven opened permanently for you.

THE SACRIFICAI LAMB OF GOD

 THE SACRIFICAIL LAMB OF GOD

He was wounded for our transgression; He was bruised for our iniquities and the chastisement of our peace was upon Him. Isaiah 53:4

The above scripture revealed that God sacrifices His lamb (Jesus) to purchase our salvation which is the proof of His love for humanity.

God have paid the highest scarify on the basis of love. He desires the best for you. He had already made provision for your salvation. For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. Romans 5:6 

The death of Christ is an expression to show God’s love toward man. 

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believe in Him, should nor perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 .The Bible says but God commendeth His love towards us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

The purpose of Christ death is to redeem us from all iniquities, and purify us unto himself a peculiar people zealous of good work. For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say “ No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to love self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, as will wait for the blessed hope the glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. Titus 2: 11 -14.

The salvation of your soul is important to God and also to you. It is important to God on the basis of love; (John 3:16). It is important to you because it’s your visa to God’s kingdom. Jesus said , I am the way, the truth and the life; no man cometh unto the father, but by me. Harden not your heart concerning the message of salvation, God loves you and He wants you to be save.

For it is not God’s will that any should perish, but all should come to repentance. So if you hear the word of God, harden not your heart.

“Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call on Him while He is near: let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon Him; to our God, for he will abundantly pardon” (Isa. 55: 6 - 7) 

Confession

Lord Jesus I am sorry for all the wrong (sins)that  I have ever committed, have mercy on me, forgive me my sins and wash me with your blood. Give me the grace to live the life style that pleases you.  Amen.

The regenerated soul

" But as many that received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name John 1: 12"

Texts: Gal 4: 3-7, John 1:12, John 3: 3-5

To be regenerated means to be recreated in God's nature. it means to be born again. To be born again means to be born of the Spirit of God. To be born of God's Spirit means to be restructure in such a way that the Holy Spirit of God can dwell in the side of  you. No wonder the Bible says " If any man be in Christ Jesus; he's a new creature......  II Cor. 5:17".

And because you are born of the Spirit of God; Christ had given you dominion over everything he had created and to rule over them. Satan can not deny this fact except you are no longer under grace. As long as you have the grace of God in you, you are protected by His Spirit dwelling in the side of you.

 The attribute of a regenerated soul

1. Full of grace and truth: Because we are regenerated by He who is full of grace and truth, we are partaker of that nature (2 Peter 3: 18). Grace is not static, we need to grow in grace. It's the knowledge of the truth that enable us to grow in grace. The more of God's word you have kept in your heart, the more of His word you apply in your life, is a function of the level of grace operating in your life.

2. Partaker of His divine nature: But you are chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, that ye should shew forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. (1 Peter 2: 9 )

Complete destruction of all principalities and powers

 Texts: Col. 2:10-15, Col. 1:16-19, Job. 38:33.

"Blotting out the handwriting  of ordinaces  that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to the cross; having spoiled principalities and powers, He made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Col. 2:14-15"

Ordinaces here means a partner, a law, an authority to do something, a dominion. When Adam fell, the dominion to rule the Earth was taken from him by Satan and Satan began to use it against his offsprings. 

There are ordinaces in favour of man and there are ordinaces against man. The promises of God in the Bible are ordinaces in favour of man that cannot be changed. (Job 38:8). 

God's  promises are spiritual ordinaces. When Christ came to this world , he took over the dominion from Satan and gave it to the church. 

Are you a Child of God? The authority to  reign here on Earth is in you. Christ did that for you at the cross of cavalry, He had paid the price.

As will celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, you will continue to reign here on Earth for a life time in Jesus' name. Amen.

THE FINISHED WORK OF THE CROSS

 God's plan of redemption accomplished. 

Texts:  Eph. 1:3-5, Ish. 14:12-15, Eze 28: 12-15, Gen. 1:1-2. 

Before God Almighty created the physical being He firstly created the spiritual being. Before Adam was created, angels had been in existence. 

There are numerous angels created by God, and He created some so powerful to have Dominion over others. I.e He made some leaders over others. ( The Acrh Angels) .  One of the arch angel Lucifer rebel against God, and he was cast down to hell (the side of the pit). (Isaiah 14:12-15).  

Before the fall of Lucifer, he had the power to rule the Earth and the being that was existing before on  planet Earth. He was able to convinced his subject and they rebel against God, and God was angry with Lucifer and the pre- Adamic race and everything on Earth were destroyed. 

In eternity past, where time has not began, God the Father, God the son, and God the Holy Spirit held a conference and  decided to create man in His own image. Man was created in God's image and likeness. God handled the Dominion rule this Earth to the first man on Earth, i.e Adam. Lucifer was angry and plan to take over the Dominion from Adam. He succeeded  when Adam disobeyed God and Lucifer took over the dominion to rule the Earth and everything on it. 

God's  plan of redemption began when He decided to send the Second Adam which is  Jesus Christ ( Eph. 1:3-5, Hebrew 10: 4-10) to take over the dominion i.e the power

to rule this planet Earth from Satan. Satan try to stopped the saviour at a tender age but he failed.

At the cross , Christ said " it is finished" this means God plan of redemption has been accomplished. He came to die for the sin of mankind and took over the dominion from Satan ( Matthew 28:18) and handed it over the church. ( Luke 10: 19).  Thank God , the dominion is in the body of Christ.

THE MEASURE OF THE NEW WINE IN YOU

 JOEL 2: 12, 17, 28. AMOS 3:3,7

“And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.”

The new wine is the Holy Spirit of the Almighty God. Although the Holy Spirit cannot be measure by any scale but His operation in our lives can be measure by what he's doing in our lives. There are diversities of operations of the Holy Spirit in an individual's life. 

The man God uses is a man that has a broken heart for God. God uses people differently depending on the relationship developed over time. 

The wine also refers to the level of the power of  God or the anointing in your life. God will not pour His power or spirit in a bottle that's not refine or renewed. Bottles are renew in the place of prayer. your spiritual vessel can only be renew in God's presence. The Apostles were not filled with the Holy Spirit until they tarried in God's presence. God will not fill you with His p
ower outside His presence. you must be in God's presence to be filled with His power or the anointing.

 

prayer:

Ho God endow me with power from above in Jesus' name Amen!!!

THE NEW WINE

 THE VESSEL AND THE NEW WINE

 

 Matthew 9: 16- 17, II Cor 5:17, Mark 2: 18 -22, Luke 5: 36 - 38

No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse. Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved. (Matthew 9: 16-17)

The new wine refers to the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit of God dwells in a soul that is regenerated. God hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. To be regenerated means to be transformed from Adamic nature to the nature of the Most High God. (II Cor. 5: 17, Col. 1: 13). For the Spirit of God to dwell and operate fully in our lives; there are certain things we have to let go. The old wine, the old man (Adamic sinful nature and his deeds). "That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Eph. 4: 22-24".

luke 5: 36- 38 reveal that will cannot bring in the old nature(Gal. 5: 16-17) into Christianity.  The old garment and the old bottles and the old wine refers to adamic sinful nature. The bottle is the channel through which this attribute is being display.

The new bottles and the new wine

The new bottles are the seed of God's righteousness sow into your life to showcase the nature of God on earth. When a farmer plant a single seed of corn, at the point of harvest , it produce several seeds, in the same vein God's seed of righteousness is capable of producing several seeds in us which indicate the nature of God in us. 

All the fruits of the spirit are gotten from that seed of righteousness, and each of the fruit becomes a seed to produce more or further furits.

Holiness will becomes a fruits when it becomes an habit or a lifestyle.  for more Christain literature visit feedspot.com or click here to visit

DIVINE HELP IN THE TIME OF NEED

 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need (Hebrews 4: 16)

Divine help is the help that comes from God. God always gives helping hands to His people whenever they are in need. He instructed us to pray (i.e. ask, let Him know what we need) in the book of Matthew 7:7 which says “ Ask and ye shall receive, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be open unto you” God never wants His people to complain about their needs, but instead through pray and supplication with thanksgiving make their request know unto Him. 

The people of Israel were in the wilderness of Saini, and they needed some basic necessities of life such as food; they complain to Moses about their need. Moses was feld up with their complain and God was angry with their attitude. The solution to their needs did not come until Moses pray unto God. God told Moses to let the children of the Israelites to know what He had decided to do. There will be flesh for them to eat at even and a bread to eat in the morning. And God field the whole Israelites with quail and bread (manna from God) for forty years. 

What brought down the mama from heaven; The Israelites complain or Moses’ Prayer?

One might argue that it’s because  the Israelites complained that makes Moses to pray; had they had not complain Moses won’t have pray. And the manna wouldn’t have come down from heaven. God is always happy to see that we seek Him concerning our needs. For He is able to supply all our needs according to His riches in glory. But the motives/approaches we used matter a lot. When the Israelites complain, the solution did not come but until Moses prayed. God will always answer His children when they use the right approach in seeking His face concerning their needs.

 

The Bible reveal that it’s when we ask, we received, when we seek, we find and when we knock, the door will be open and not when we complain. If earthly fathers know how to give good things to their children how much more will God the Father (the Fathers of all fathers) give good things to everyone that ask Him. He is able to supply all our needs according to His riches in glory (Phi. 4:4). In Hebrews 4: 15 -16 the Bible says “  For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are-yet he did not sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need”

The above scripture reveal a deep secret that every believer need to understand. When we approach God with our needs we are to ask with confidence, believing He is able to supply all our needs according to His riches in glory. The throne of grace here means God’s presence, in God’s presence we encourage to make our request with confidence and not to complain.
