EATING, DRINKING AND GOING ONE'S WAY - The Despiser Series 001
"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."
May you not lose knowing. May knowing not suddenly fall off from you. When you inspect yourself, may you still find yourself to be aware and awake. A lot there be who have lost knowing. No heart pricking or sensitization towards what they should arrest or mind. Rather, it all looks plain to them. Have you seen waters hiding reptiles like crocodiles from plain sight before? It is always quiet. No rumbling, turning or stirring. Everything always looks quiet until you near it, get comfortable by it and receive a surge/attack from the ferocious animal.
That's why you must be with the special equipping - the equipping to know. Look at today's verse. It says something worthy of notice but which was also troubling.
Genesis 25:34, KJV
"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."
Don't think it was a favour Jacob just did Esau. To Esau, it might look that way but it is beyond just the administering of bread and pottage to one's brother. It comes at a cost. It looked plain but it was a time bomb hidden from plain sight.
The Bible says, "Esau ate, drank and rose up and went his way..." Meaning, at that time when Esau could have made a life changing observation, he did not. Rather, he only "ate, drank, rose up and went his way." May you cry when you could be heard! May you charm the snake when there's still a remedy. What that place is saying is that Esau is careless. He couldn't make any observation though his future was being sold. Even after the eating when he observed what he had done, he could have reversed it through another bargain if he insisted. However, he saw no reason for fear or a change. He ate, drank and went his way (without proferring any solution to the problem he had created for himself).
Are you this kind of person? One who eats, drinks, rises up and goes his way without detecting anything went left. If you're this kind of person, you will count a lot of losses in life. The testimony and regret of Esau is what could come on you later on in life. What does the Bible say of him?
Hebrews 12:17, KJV
"For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears."
It was at this juncture in time the realization of what he did back then hit him. It never hits him when he could turn back immediately and reverse the order (instead of standing up just like that and walking away). That made me pray earlier on for you that even if you make mistakes, it'll be within the corrected boundaries. Esau came at the wrong time wanting to correct the deeds of probably yesteryears. The Bible says, "He sought it with tears but found no place of repentance..."
It means the door was shut against him. It means the second chance that he could take became expired. What a thing! I pray for you, "May you be on time!" May you strike the iron while it is hot. May you make hay while the sun shines. May you speak when it'll be valuable and may you run when it is needful. May your actions fall into their right seasons. May they be timed to happen, finding their right moments.
PRAYER: Lord, awaken my spirit man. Let me be awake and aware. I refuse to be cheated successfully. Tip me off Holy Spirit. May I take heed when it concerns my life and future.
BIBLE IN A YEAR: Genesis 30:1-31:16, Matthew 10:1-23, Psalm 12:1-8, Proverbs 3:13-15
