“For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the chief
ruler; but the birthright was Joseph's:)” 1 Chronicles 5:2
What is the importance of a right
you have but you cannot enjoy? Unfortunately, this is the story of many today. The
scepter belongs to those who prevail and not those who have birthrights. That
is why you must prevail with God and with man if you want to enforce your
birthright. Reuben was supposed to have the birthright, but he lost it to
iniquity, he slept with his father’s wife (1 Chronicles 5:1). Joseph got the
birthright, but he could not enforce it, he did not prevail. He had the
document but did not have its reality. However, Judah prevailed; he had the
reality, although he did not have the document.
“I have seen servants upon horses,
and princes walking as servants upon the earth.” Ecclesiastes 10:7
“And he said, Thy name shall be
called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and
with men, and hast prevailed.” Genesis 32:28
As a Christian, many things are
yours according to the scriptures, but where is the reality in your life? You
must prevail with God and with man if you want to enjoy what have been written
concerning you. Jacob was blessed years before he entered the reality of the
blessing. Until he prevailed, he was living as if he had not been blessed.
May you prevail to experience the
blessings of God in your life in Jesus name.
Prayer for today: Oh God empower me to
prevail with You and with men in Jesus name.
