God wants us to go from faith to faith

You yourself will be able to share all the gems of God without fear of what people think.

When you are very sure this is God’s way.

Keep on listening. Faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God

Than you speak it out

HEBREWS 11:20 TPT

The POWER of FAITH prompted Isaac to IMPART a BLESSING to his sons, Jacob and Esau, concerning their PROPHETIC DESTINIES.

[With eyes of] FAITH Isaac, looking FAR INTO the FUTURE , invoked BLESSINGS upon Jacob and Esau. [Gen. 27:27-29, 39, 40.]

Make sure your faith is in His Word

GENESIS 27:27-28 AMP

So he came and kissed him; and Isaac smelled his clothing and BLESSED him and SAID,

“The scent of my son [Esau] Is like the aroma of a FIELD which the Lord has BLESSED;

Now may GOD GIVE YOU of the DEW of HEAVEN [to water your land], And of the FATNESS (FERTILITY ) of the earth,

And an ABUNDANCE of GRAIN and NEW WINE;

GENESIS 27:29 AMP

May peoples serve you,

And nations bow down to you;

Be Lord and master over your brothers,

And may your mother’s sons bow down to you.

May those who curse you be cursed, And may those who bless you be blessed.”

GENESIS 27:36 AMP

Esau replied, “Is he not rightly named Jacob (the supplanter)? For he has supplanted me these two times: he took away my BIRTHRIGHT, and now he has taken away my BLESSING.

Have you not reserved a blessing for me?”

They are chosen people. They know God is a God of miracle and power.

If you don’t build your spirit man, your mind is a playground

You value your birth right. Your spiritual blessings

BIRTHRIGHT - primogeniture, right of the FIRST-BORN

the right of succession belonging to the firstborn child

GENESIS 27:38 AMP

Esau said to his father,

“Have you only one blessing, my father?

Bless me, even me also, O my father.” Then Esau [no longer able to restrain himself] raised his voice and wept [loudly].

GENESIS 27:39-40 AMP

Then Isaac his father answered and [prophesied and] SAID to him,

“Your dwelling shall be away from the fertility of the earth

And away from the dew of heaven above;

But you shall live by your sword,

And serve your brother;

However it shall come to pass when you break loose [from your anger and hatred],

That you will tear his yoke off your neck [and you will be free of him].”

GENESIS 27:41 AMP

So Esau hated Jacob BECAUSE of the BLESSING with which his FATHER BLESSED him;

and Esau SAID in his HEART,

“The days of mourning for my father are very near; then I will kill my brother Jacob.”

Treasure the Word

Go through the Word of God

HEBREWS 11:21 TPT

Jacob WORSHIPED in FAITH’S REALITY at the end of his life, and leaning upon his staff he IMPARTED a PROPHETIC BLESSING upon each of Joseph’s sons. (Genesis 48)

GENESIS 41:51 KJV

And Joseph called the name of the firstborn MANASSEH: For God, said he, hath made me FORGET all my toil, and all my father's house.

MANASSEH - Causing to FORGET, FORGETFULNESS

GENESIS 41:52 KJV

And the name of the second called he EPHRAIM:

For God hath caused me to be FRUITFUL in the land of my affliction.

EPHRAIM - DOUBLE FRUITFULNESS

GENESIS 48:12-16 MSG

Joseph took them from Israel’s knees and bowed respectfully, his face to the ground.

Then Joseph took the two boys, EPHRAIM with his RIGHT HAND setting him to Israel’s left,

and MANASSEH with his LEFT HAND setting him to Israel’s right, and stood them before him.

But Israel CROSSED his ARMS and put his RIGHT HAND on the HEAD of EPHRAIM who was the younger and his LEFT HAND on the head of MANASSEH, the FIRSTBORN.

Then He BLESSED them:

The God before whom walked my fathers Abraham and Isaac, The God who has been my shepherd all my life long to this very day, The Angel who delivered me from every evil, Bless the boys.

May my name be echoed in their lives, and the names of Abraham and Isaac, my fathers, And may they grow covering the Earth with their children.

GENESIS 48:17-18 MSG

When Joseph saw that his father had placed his RIGHT HAND on Ephraim’s head, he thought he had made a mistake, so he took hold of his father’s hand to move it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s, saying, -

“That’s the wrong head, Father; the other one is the firstborn; place your right hand on his head.”

GENESIS 48:19-20 MSG

But his FATHER wouldn’t do it.

He said, “I KNOW, my son; but I KNOW WHAT I’M DOING.

He also will develop into a people, and he also will be great.

But his YOUNGER BROTHER will be EVEN GREATER and his DESCENDANTS will ENRICH NATIONS.”

Then he BLESSED them both:

Israel will use your names to give blessings:

May GOD make you LIKE Ephraim and Manasseh.

In that he made it explicit: he put Ephraim ahead of Manasseh.

“The RIGHT HAND in the Bible always speaks of FAVORED POSITION.

The right hand is the hand of STRENGTH and SKILL.

EXODUS 15:6 KJV

Thy RIGHT HAND, O LORD, is become glorious in POWER : thy right hand, O LORD,

hath dashed in pieces the enemy.

PSALM 16:11 KJV

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy RIGHT HAND there are PLEASURES (FAVOR) for evermore.

PSALM 20:6 KJV

Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the SAVING STRENGTH of his RIGHT HAND.

MARK 14:62 KJV

And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the RIGHT HAND of POWER, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

COLOSSIANS 1:5 TPT

Your FAITH and LOVE rise within you as you ACCESS ALL the TREASURES of your INHERITANCE STORED UP in the HEAVENLY REALM.

For the revelation of the true gospel is as real today as the day you first heard of our glorious hope, now that you have believed in the truth of the gospel.

COLOSSIANS 1:15

He is the image of the invisible God,

the FIRSTBORN of all CREATION.

COLOSSIANS 1:16-17 TPT

For IN HIM was created the universe of things, both in the heavenly realm and on the earth, all that is seen and all that is unseen.

Every seat of power, realm of government, principality, and authority—

it ALL exists THROUGH HIM and FOR HIS PURPOSE!

He existed before anything was made, and now everything finds completion in him.

COLOSSIANS 1:18 NKJV

And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the FIRSTBORN from the DEAD, that in all things He may have the preeminence.

Israel knew exactly what he intended to do.

He deliberately chose the second-born to receive a greater blessing than the firstborn.”

IN CHRIST, YOU’VE become FAVORED FOREVER —

In Christ, you’re like Ephraim and Manasseh.

Genesis 48:20 (ESV) —

So he blessed them that day, saying, “By you Israel will pronounce blessings, saying, ‘God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh.’”

Thus he put Ephraim before Manasseh.

As Jesus hung on the cross,

God crossed His arms in the heavenlies,

Removing His right hand from His Firstborn son, the deserving Son, the Firstborn of all Creation

God extended the blessing warranted only by Jesus -

To all the Ephraims – the second borns, to you and me who were undeserving.

God’s grace is undeserving favour

Grace is getting the favour we don’t deserve

God switched hands. He put His right hand on us.

Like Manasseh - “Forgotten troubles.” Yesterday’s over, today’s blessing is here!

Like Ephraim - “Twice Fruitful”—doubly productive—

TWICE as FRUITFUL by God’s GRACE, not by our own efforts.

Like Ephraim and Manasseh because Jacob, Crossed his arms -

And put his RIGHT HAND, the symbol of higher blessing,

On the younger son and his left on the FIRSTBORN

Double Fruitfulness

We are the 2nd born but was given the first born blessing

It was an exchange on the cross for you.

We are getting what is not rightly ours.

Only Jesus was qualified.

He is the righteous one and we are the sinful one. We got it because of faith by grace

PHILIPPIANS 3:12-13 TPT

I admit that I haven’t yet acquired the absolute fullness that I’m pursuing, but I run with passion into HIS ABUNDANCE so that I may reach the PURPOSE that JESUS CHRIST has CALLED ME to FULFILL and wants me to DISCOVER.

I don’t depend on my own strength to accomplish this;

however I do have one compelling FOCUS:

I FORGET ALL of the PAST as I FASTEN my HEART to the FUTURE instead.

Jesus died for the suffering that you went through. Forget that part of your life

Too blessed to be stressed! Got will cause you to forget all the sufferings of your past.

Fasten your heart to the future. To what is ahead of us.

Keep on hearing the Word of God.
