FIRE SCRIPTUREGenesis 27:1-46

  1. Now it came to pass, when Isaac was old and his eyes were so dim that he could not see, that he called Esau his older son and said to him, “My son.” And he answered him, “Here I am.”
  2. Then he said, “Behold now, I am old. I do not know the day of my death.
  3. Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me.
  4. And make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat, that my soul may bless you before I die.”
  5. Now Rebekah was listening when Isaac spoke to Esau his son; and Esau went to the field to hunt game and to bring it.
  6. So Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, “Indeed I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying,
  7. ‘Bring me game and make savory food for me, that I may eat it and bless you in the presence of the Lord before my death.’”
  8. Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to what I command you.
  9. Go now to the flock and bring me from there two choice kids of the goats, and I will make savory food from them for your father, such as he loves.
  10. Then you shall take it to your father, that he may eat it, and that he may bless you before his death.

MFM Daily Devotional Message Monday 17th March 2025.

In the next few days, we would be learning lessons from the life of Esau. We would be looking at his successes and failures.

Esau was the son of Isaac and Rebekah, the twin brother of Jacob and the grandson of Abraham. But despite the fact that Esau was coming from a very enviable background, from the lineage of Abraham, a friend of God, God did not like Esau. In Romans 9:13, God said …Esau have I hated. This statement came from God Himself. Esau never experienced love. His mother also never liked him and she made it clear to him. Every child always craves motherly love but Esau never had it. He was a rejected man. God hated him, family members hated him and he was left in the world of his own to stray alone. Apart from his father that loved him because of food, no one else cared what became of Esau.

However, despite the rejections and the pitiful circumstances that surround the life of Esau, we never read that he committed suicide nor did he sit somewhere throwing a pity party. If there was anyone that should be suicidal, it was Esau. If there was anyone that should get tired of life and end it all, it was Esau. He saw rejection and hatred firsthand. For him, suicide was valid because when God said He hated him, what else is left? Nothing! But Esau did not give up on himself. Although no one saw a future in him, he saw a future in himself. He loved himself although no one else loved him; not even God Almighty. He believed in himself and with that mindset, he was able to create a wealthy future for himself such that by the time Jacob came back from Laban, he didn’t meet Esau where he left him. In Genesis 33:9 “And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself.” This was a man that was hated and rejected several years before.

Beloved, what do you do when people seem not to like you? What do you do when no one believes in your dreams? What do you do when people have stereotypes towards you? What do you do when your ideas or opinions are rejected? Some people like Ahithophel would go to commit suicide simply because people rejected his counsel. Let me tell you the gospel truth, there will always be people that will not like your face no matter how much you try, there will always be stereotype and discriminations. But you have to love yourself enough not to allow anyone’s opinion about you to determine the outcome of your life. Stop living your life at the mercy of people’s opinions. Trust God to bring honey out of the rock of your life. I pray for you today, the outcome of your life will mesmerize your enemies in the name of Jesus. Shalom!
