BIBLE IN ONE YEAR – Numbers 32:1-33:39, Luke 4:31-5:11, Psalm 64:1-10, Proverbs 11:22

FIRE SCRIPTURE – Genesis 27:30-40
30. Now it happened, as soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
31. He also had made savory food and brought it to his father, and said to his father, “Let my father arise and eat of his son’s game, that your soul may bless me.”
32. And his father Isaac said to him, “Who are you?” So he said, “I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.”
33. Then Isaac trembled exceedingly, and said, “Who? Where is the one who hunted game and brought it to me? I ate all of it before you came, and I have blessed him—and indeed he shall be blessed.”
34. When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, “Bless me—me also, O my father!”
35. But he said, “Your brother came with deceit and has taken away your blessing.”
36. And Esau said, “Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright, and now look, he has taken away my blessing!” And he said, “Have you not reserved a blessing for me?”
37. Then Isaac answered and said to Esau, “Indeed I have made him your master, and all his brethren I have given to him as servants; with grain and wine I have sustained him. What shall I do now for you, my son?”
38. And Esau said to his father, “Have you only one blessing, my father? Bless me—me also, O my father!” And Esau lifted up his voice and wept.
39. Then Isaac his father answered and said to him: “Behold, your dwelling shall be of the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above.
40. By your sword you shall live, and you shall serve your brother; and it shall come to pass, when you become restless, that you shall break his yoke from your neck.”

And the LORD said unto him, what is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.

Your little bread and few fishes will feed nations, your little rod will deliver people, and your little oil will take you to places of honor, in the name of Jesus.

MFM Daily Devotional Message Friday 21st March 2025.

Another lesson we can learn from the life of Esau is what I call “The Power of One.” Beloved, ONE is very powerful. Remove 1 from 100, and you will not have three digits again. Remove 1 from 1000, and the 4 figures will slide back to 3. That is the power of ONE that so many people despise. May we not despise the one thing that will make us great, in the name of Jesus.

Jacob had supplanted Esau and received all the blessings, but Esau pressed for just one blessing. Genesis 27:38 says, “And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.” He got it, and he ran with it. He worked with just one blessing and became great. He did not end up begging from Jacob, who had received many blessings. He also became wealthy simply because he chose not to despise his little endowment.

This is in contrast with the unprofitable servant in Matthew 25:25, who was given one talent but went to bury it. He was probably envious of the person that had five talents. He despised his days of little beginnings. He buried the rod that would make him great. After all, it’s just one, and what can one talent do for me? So he thought. Esau got just one blessing and ran with it and became a wealthy man.

Only God can estimate the number of talents and potential that have been buried simply because the carrier felt it was not enough to make them great. I wonder what would have happened to the Israelites at the Red Sea if Moses had buried his one rod. Most of us tend to over-celebrate the many gifts in the lives of others and then look down on the one talent God has blessed us with, which is capable of rewriting our history.

God has blessed every human being with one talent or another according to each person’s ability and capacity. Some could have ten, and some could have just one. What matters most is not the number of your talents but what you do with those talents. Even if someone has all the talents in the world, if he doesn’t do anything with them, he may end up bowing to the person with one talent who has worked with it.

What’s in your hand? Whatever you have in your hands, be it one or plenty, has the capacity to make you great.

A songwriter rightly put it this way:
“It’s in your hand, you hold a miracle, though not much to you, turn it to Him, He will take what you give to Him and make it what you want it be, a miracle is in your hand.”

I implore you today to discover your own rod and run with it, and I pray that God will breathe on your talent to make you great, in Jesus’ name.
