July 10, 2023: Don't Despise Your Birthright!

7/10/2023

"Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew, and he ate and drank and rose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright." (Genesis 25:34, ESV)

Jacob slyly tricked Esau into giving him his birthright (the rights and privileges granted to the firstborn.) When Esau came home from hunting, he was famished. Jacob had made his favorite stew. At that moment, craving food, Esau traded his birthright for a bowl of stew. He gave up what was his by promise—all for a bowl of soup.
    
He did not just give it up but also 'despised' his birthright. To despise means to treat with contempt or to make someone or something less valuable to you. So worthless that you walk away from it.
    
Did you know that you have a birthright? You have a birthright through the New Birth! When you were born again, you were given an excellent birthright! You are a joint heir with Jesus Christ! Everything He has, He shares with you. He is alive, and you are alive in Him. You have been raised up with Him and made to sit together in heavenly places. You have access to healing, deliverance, and provision all through your 'birthright!' You have peace! You have the wisdom of God! You have the Holy Spirit, a helper, comforter, companion, and friend. You have access to the Father's House and everything in it.
    
Set your face like flint to not sell out your inheritance. Jesus paid a great price for us to be joint heirs with Him. Don't despise your birthright; discover, know, and treasure it!
