Birthright
Daily Devotional for November 9

Genesis 25:33-34 "And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright."

Esau sold his birthright, which was his. Esau was to be the priest for the family after the death of his father Isaac.

Our birthright as born-again believers is that we are sons of God.
John 1:12 "But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become sons of God, even to them that believe on His name"

We are priests and kings before the LORD.
Revelation 1:6 "And hath made us kings and priests unto God and His Father; to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen."

We are also saints before God.
Romans 1:7 "To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ."

1. If you want to be like Esau, all you have to do is live in your natural state of the flesh and you will despise your birthright.

2. A goat will not listen to the word of God; neither will someone who does not think much of their birthright.

3. Murmuring will be a way of life, and all that comes out of their mouth will be negativity because they sold their birthright.

4. As they continually reject their spiritual birthright, they will detest the word of God because they have lost all capacity to retain God's words.

As a born-again Christian, are you enjoying your birthright? Are you walking in the Lord, knowing that He will never leave nor forsake you?

Happy is the man that trusts the Lord.
