WORDSHARE: A second chance for Esau

Image
By
I have learnt a whole lot these past few weeks. It's amazing how you study the Scripture and each time you go back there is always something new. It never grows old.


So allow me share some few 'revelations' from today on. Jesus described the kingdom of heaven with this parable in Matt 13:44-46
44 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.
45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. 46 When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.

Here is what I got: The kingdom of heaven is like a choice pearl. Nothing matters to you but that singular pearl. You will give anything or sell everything just to have that pearl when you find/discover it.

You give up your worldly 'enjoyment' because you have found something you consider much more valuable. Moses did.

If the farmer didn't value that pearl, he wouldn't have sold everything he owned to purchase it. How much do you value God and His kingdom? How much (sacrifice) are you willing to give to keep it?

When Esau sold off his birthright to witty Jacob over a mess of stew just because he was hungry, it showed how much value he placed on something as important and destiny-defining as a birthright. He had no value for it!

And because of this very act, heaven proved him unworthy of it and denied him the blessings that come with his birthright but thank God there was a way out - GRACE. When Isaac told him, "but when you become restless, you will break his yoke off your neck," that was the way out. It's called a second chance and that's what grace is all about.

Esau could regain his freedom again if he wants to. So in the midst of darkness (eg results of bad decisions) created by us, God offers us HOPE.


Any time we make wrong decisions like Esau, God always gives us a way out when we realize how wrong our decisions have been. Before Esau will grow restless, he must first come to realize how sinful his action has been, repent of it before a break away can occur.

It takes a man who has recognized the gravity of his wrong decisions to grow restless. In his restlessness will his deliverance come.If you find yourself in the shoe of Esau, there is hope and a way out for you. It doesn't matter what crazy wrong decisions you may have made in the past, God can take care of it if you give it to Him with a repentant and contrite heart.

God can't despise a repentant and contrite heart (Psalm 51:17). It always gets to Him. There is a second chance for Esau!

Celebrities sell their souls to the devil for fame and fortune

By
It is said that most Hollywood celebrities, to get to where they are today, made a deal with the devil...they sold their souls for fame and fortune. By selling their souls they submit to Satan so that he totally uses, enslaves and possesses their life, body, mind, will and soul. Satan's goal and agenda becomes theirs. Their life is no more their own. So let it not surprise you when their songs or movies serve Satan's purpose of driving men into deeper darkness. These celebrities are idolized and literally worshiped but clearly they serve Satan and channel demonic spirits through their music and movies. From the likes of Madonna,Jay Z, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Nicky Minaj ,Eminem, Bob Dylan and so so many others, these are known to be demon possessed having sold their souls to the devil. Melyssa Ford, a Canadian hip hop model and actress ,said in an interview, "If your ultimate goal is to be famous, you have to do a lot to get there like sign your name in blood i...

Late Hollywood actress, Marilyn Monroe, told Billy Graham, "I don't need your Jesus."

By
She had the perfect life anyone could dream of; remarkable wealth and great fame. Despite all that, Marilyn kept all of her sufferings to herself. One day during filming, a preacher named Billy Graham visited her. He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her. After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said: "I don't need your Jesus". During that time, Monroe who was allegedly having a romantic affair with the President of the United States, John F Kennedy. A week later, she was found dead in her bedroom. Theories of her death started to spread. Some say she was assassinated because of political conspiracies and in the end, the most accepted theory up to this day is she committed suicide. It shows that she was suffering from a severe depression. In fact it is actually the right time for her to seek God, asking for help, not to take the easy way out by taking her own life. *Hmmm... One day soon I will write on Marily...

See how music is used to cast spells...(A must read)

By
We love music, but do you know there could be more to music than we bargained for? The devil is desperate and we should not be ignorant of his devices and this is one of them. One weapon that he always uses is subtlety . Here's what I pulled from a Wiccan website concerning Magickal music or let me say how they cast spells in music: "A magick spell is the integration of an intent with a physical representation of that intent.  "For instance, when you make a Witch’s spell pouch, out of a cloth and some herbs and oils and objects, each of those items represents a part of your intent. And in the magick, you are binding those two things: your intention and the physical world. "This brings your intention into form in the physical world. That's how magick spells work. In magickal music, the intention is wrapped up into a song, and bound into it. "When I create magickal songs, I do it with the guidance of the Divine. In a meditative state...
