Esau
-
READ: Genesis 27:1-4; 30-36
- There’s nothing worse than doing everything you thought you were supposed to do and then not get what you thought you deserved
WHAT ABOUT ME?
READ: Genesis 27:37-40
- We know about Jacob, but what happens to Esau after this? He must be having a miserable life because someone else got his birthright and stole his blessing!
READ: Genesis 33:1-4
- People who aren't blessed are often bitter!
- When you can embrace the thing that hurt you, you show the yoke isn’t on you any more!
But when you decide...
WHEN YOU DECIDE TO BREAK FREE, THE YOKE HAS TO LET YOU GO
- When you decide to break free, you become the head and not the tail
- When you RELEASE it, it can't hold you captive anymore!
- If it isn't gone, YOU AREN'T READY!
SOMEONE ELSE'S BLESSING DOESN'T HAVE TO BE YOUR CURSE
- Don’t allow the blessings of others convince you that you won't ever be blessed.
- Just because someone else is blessed doesn’t mean you won't be
IF YOU'RE GOING TO BREAK OUT, YOU HAVE TO LOOK IN
- We are often looking for outside sources to solve inner issues
- You can be blessed by God, and walk in bondage because you don't see the blessing that's already there!
- Jacob wrestled with God to bless him but he was already blessed; Esau’s blessing was stolen but he lived blessed!
- Stop asking God to give you what somebody else has and ask Him for what He has for you!
READ: Genesis 33:9; 12
IF YOU DON'T DEAL WITH IT, IT WILL DEAL WITH YOU
- Don’t wait for validation to value the gift that God has already placed in you!
- You are already complete in Christ!
- WE DON'T FIGHT FOR VICTORY, WE FIGHT FROM VICTORY! (1 Corinthians 15:57-58)
* But Esau..when you decide, you will shake the yoke off of your neck! *
CLOSING PRAYER!
