BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Numbers 25-27, 1 Corinthians 9-11
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Genesis 27:35-43
35 But he said, “Your brother came deceitfully and took your blessing.”
36 Esau said, “Isn’t he rightly named Jacob ? This is the second time he has taken advantage of me: He took my birthright, and now he’s taken my blessing!” Then he asked, “Haven’t you reserved any blessing for me?”
37 Isaac answered Esau, “I have made him lord over you and have made all his relatives his servants, and I have sustained him with grain and new wine. So what can I possibly do for you, my son?”
38 Esau said to his father, “Do you have only one blessing, my father? Bless me too, my father!” Then Esau wept aloud.
39 His father Isaac answered him,
“Your dwelling will be
away from the earth’s richness,
away from the dew of heaven above.
40 You will live by the sword
and you will serve your brother.
But when you grow restless,
you will throw his yoke
from off your neck. ”
41 Esau held a grudge against Jacob because of the blessing his father had given him. He said to himself, “The days of mourning for my father are near; then I will kill my brother Jacob.”
42 When Rebekah was told what her older son Esau had said, she sent for her younger son Jacob and said to him, “Your brother Esau is planning to avenge himself by killing you. 43 Now then, my son, do what I say: Flee at once to my brother Laban in Harran.
MEMORY VERSE: Psalms 97:10
“Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.”

MFM DAILY DEVOTIONAL 17TH FEBRUARY 2024
The opposite of hatred is love. Therefore, anything love can do can be undone by hatred, 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 says, “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. And verse 13: “But the greatest of these is love.”
2 Corinthians 13:13 says that love is the greatest. With love, a family can win any battle facing it. Families work to support one another because of the love that exists between them. Unity in the family helps it to stand firmly against any foe and greatness can only be achieved through love.
The family of Isaac in the Bible was torn apart due to lack of love. The twin sons of the family were at loggerheads because of hatred. Esau burned with so much hatred that he wanted to kill his brother Jacob. Jacob ran away from home and the two brothers were separated for many years, and in those years, none made meaningful progress until they were able to resolve their issues.
Even before the rift between the two brothers, their parents, Isaac loved Esau because of his venison while Rebekah favoured Jacob more than Esau. So this situation of lack of true love for one another started the dysfunctionality before the final straw that broke the camel’s back, when Jacob with their mother’s support, stole his brother’s birth right. The strife in the family took its root from hatred. Such wouldn’t have been the case if love took the centre stage in their lives as a family.
God is love and hatred is of the devil. You cannot claim to love God who you cannot see when you do not love your brother or sister who you can see. To avoid hatred, strife and trouble in the family. parents should teach love and exemplify it to their children. They should also avoid favouritism among their children.
