BIBLE IN ONE YEAR – Deuteronomy 21:1-23:9, Luke 6:12-38, Psalm 67:1-7, Proverbs 11:27

FIRE SCRIPTURE – Genesis 27:5-30
5. And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
6. And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,
7. Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the Lord before my death.
8. Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee.
9. Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth:
10. And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death.
11. And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:
12. My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.
13. And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.
14. And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved.
15. And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son:
16. And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:
17. And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
18. And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou, my son?
19. And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy firstborn; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.
20. And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the Lord thy God brought it to me.
21. And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not.
22. And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.
23. And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau’s hands: so he blessed him.
24. And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am.
25. And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine, and he drank.
26. And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.
27. And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the Lord hath blessed:
28. Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
29. Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother’s sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.
30. And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.

MFM Daily Devotional Message Monday 24th March 2025.

In this kingdom, who hates you does not matter, but who loves you matters a lot. Psalm 115:16 says, “The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.” Beloved, men are so powerful that even our Almighty God does nothing on earth but by men’s efforts. All blessings come from God to men through men. So, no matter how powerful and skillful you think you are, you need fellow men to thrive in the scheme of life; hence, the need to build quality relationships.

Esau lacked relationship skills. He got career skills but refused to acquire skills in human management. He didn’t have quality relationships with his family members and those around him. He had not been an obedient child even to the point of getting married, still carrying his parents along and acting against their wish. No wonder his mother never seemed to be on his side. He probably felt he could do life alone and do his thing his own way. After all, it was his life. He later found out too late that relationships matter a lot.

Jacob seems to be the lazy one, but he had learned to build relationships, especially with his mother. How? Through obedience and submissiveness.

This is not saying that we should put our trust in man, but it is saying we should learn to manage the people around us, including the difficult ones. So many Christians lack skills in human management. Some believers believe that God is the only personality they need in life; they do not need any man to succeed. That’s a big lie; don’t buy it. You need God and human helpers to fulfill your destiny.

Even if you have acquired professional skills, you need human beings to buy and pay for your skills. Don’t forget that all blessings come from God to men through man. God will not come down to do certain things for us. He will need to send men to deliver the needed blessing. That is why we must pray and enforce the release of every human entity that should partner with God to bring forth our blessings.

The children of the world understand this principle so well, even Jesus attested to it in Luke 16:8: “For the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.” These people have mastered the art of relationship building.

There are Christians that do not relate with anybody. They are so spiritual that they don’t greet or answer greetings. They are so isolated, and the only personality that matters to them is God. They are what we know as “12 o’clock Christians”; all attention is focused on heaven, no dealings with any man. Such a man will surely get to heaven but would have cheated and shortchanged himself on earth.

Abraham, our hero, was a friend of God but also got along well with the people around him. No wonder he was never turned down on any of his requests from them. May God open our inner eyes, in the name of Jesus.

MFM Daily Prayer Points 24th March 2025

Intelligence to be a balanced Christian, release it upon me, O God, in the name of Jesus.
I shall not miss those I should meet in life, in the name of Jesus.
I shall not meet those I should miss in life, in the name of Jesus.

EVENING

Human entities that must partner with God for me to be lifted, where are you? Appear by fire, in the name of Jesus.
Covenant helpers that don’t get tired of helping, my life is available, appear, in the name of Jesus.
Strategic relationships assigned to lift my head, appear, in the name of Jesus.
Lifter of men, Jesus Christ, lift me up, in the name of Jesus.
