MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL - Olusola & Oreoluwa ADEJUMO
ON MOTION: A DAY LIKE NEVER
"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."
There are basically two types of people. Those who find it quickly and those who will merry-go-round and continue to beat round the bush until the deed is done, the time is elapsed and there's no more blessing to give.
That describes the story and manifestations of Esau and Jacob. We all know the story. The whispers of Isaac are betrayed to Rebekah who because of her love for Jacob urged him to prepare to take his brother's blessing. While Esau is on the field, seeking a game, the sort that Isaac loves, Jacob comes in with a kid favourably prepared by his mum and steals the blessings of Esau.
However, here's where the story is mysterious. That day, Esau couldn't return on time. It seems what will be will be. I guess all the animals intentionally ran away from him. He just couldn't have success and breakthrough on time. Guess when he came back. After the deed has just ended.
"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."
What sort of logic is at play? Why would Esau on a day like this have this kind of delay? Why would he only make an entrance just after the knife had cut the flesh, resulting in an open wound? Why would the first born come late?
Compare that experience to that of Jacob when Isaac said, "How is it that you have found it so quickly today?" Immediately, you'll see a man that everything works for and a man that everything works against. Things work so much for Jacob that his mother even stepped in to make him strong for the act by agreeing to be his substitute for a curse if anything goes wrong.
"And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them."
One of the places foreshadowing Jesus' redemptive act and how He'll take up our sins.
I pray for you, you will find things so quickly on your journey. God will bring things to you that others are using their life, time, money and effort to chase. It will come to you. As you go today, God will raise sponsors and adopters for you who'll back you up and strengthen your heart and hands in critical choices and matters. You'll never be alone - lacking guides and motivators. Your operations will be done in the multitude of counsels and you will not fail. Delays are lifted. Demonic postponements and contests are broken. What is yours, no man shall take let alone intrude into.
PRAYER/CONFESSION: Life is easy for me. Even without much struggling, I find what others are hunting for in the wild. I enjoy favour and accelerated results.
