“For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the chief ruler; but the birthright was Joseph's:” 1 Chronicle 5:2
You have birthrights. Even as a Christian, your second birth gives you birthrights in the kingdom of God. However, what is the importance of a right you have but cannot enjoy? The scepter belongs to those who prevail and not those who have birthrights. That is why you must prevail with God and with men 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 Chronicle 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 men if you want to enjoy what has 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.
Salvation: Lord Jesus, I believe in the
forgiveness of sin and in the redemption from the power of darkness through
your blood. I confess you as my Savior and Lord. I invite you into my life to save my soul.
Holy Spirit, come into my heart and make me what you want me to be. Thank you
Lord for saving me in Jesus name.
