The Value of Your Birthright.
“And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birth right do to me?”
Gen. 25:32. (KJV).
You are a child of God.
You gained the birthright to enter the Kingdom of God. Jesus gave His life to give you that right.
Don’t underestimate being His Kingdom Ambassador.
How important is this right to you?
Will you sell it for the pleasures of this world?
Will you sell it for the opinion or favor of your friend?
By eating the lentils:
Esau should have known he would survive.
He knew what he was doing.
Don’t compromise for a few minutes of pleasure.
Be careful of losing your birthright for invaluable earthly goods.
You know the difference between good and evil.
Adam and Eve gave you that knowledge.
Do not do something you will regret later.
Flee every form of Temptation.
Pray More in the Holy Spirit.
As My Wife Olutoyin says:
“Dont sell when you are low.”
“We all experience times of testing, which is normal for every human being. But God will be faithful to you. He will screen and filter the severity, nature, and timing of every test or trial you face so that you can bear it. And each test is an opportunity to trust him more, for along with every trial God has provided for you a way of escape that will bring you out of it victoriously.”
1 Corinthians 10:13 (TPT)
Application to the Christian life:
Remain faithful to God.
Serve Him.
Follow Jesus with a complete heart.
Resist evil.
