VOICE OF JACOB, HAND OF ESAU

In your attempt to get rich and accumulate what people have termed as "blessings", be careful  you don't join the right voice to the wrong hand. Young man, I said what people have termed blessings because blessing transcend money and material gain or its accumulation. It transcends riches in its true meaning. If not, Jacob would not have asked for God to bless him again after getting all the money, goods, slaves and possessions. He knew blessing was bigger and so he wrestled to get it. Young man, don't allow anyone and I say anyone to pressurize you to steal or take what does not belong to you or what you have not genuinely labored for. Don't join the  "today's youth" that are willing to cheat, lie and do all abominable things just to use the latest car or built the latest house in town. You must be aware that you are not in competition with any of them and so they do not determine your pace in this race. These set of young fellas can dupe people, they can even kill and do all things you can not imagine to get rich and be in vogue. Its a dangerous path and its future is crystal clear as it is  enveloped in destruction. Be specific to train your heart early in this so it won't affect you later in life. You may be tempted to say I won't steal because you won't take gun and rob people. But you may end up taking other's sweat to make your gain. Duping people in the name of business. Setting scheme that you know will collapse soon in the name of helping people to multiply wealth. Yet, these set are so close to the church. They even give tithes and huge offerings while they are the happening brothers and sisters in church or around. Young man, beware. Don't be enticed by their superfluity of nothingness. Its a charade and it won't last. They are sowing a terrible seed for their generations to come.  Watch that you work hard in your own way and don't take what is not yours. Don't add people's sweat to your wealth except you pay them for it. You may end up crying and lack peace in the nearest future.  Remember Jacob Isaac?  He disguised himself to take what does not belong to him. The blessings meant for Esau, his brother. His father even knew something wasn't right  as he declared the voice is the voice of Jacob but the hand is the hand of Esau. Deception in its highest degree. He duped his father and brother thinking he had settled all his future issues with that firstborn blessing. Well, that did not play out the way he wanted. From that day, he carried Esau's identity. He went into slavery for twenty years laboring to start a family cum business. He cheated once, he was cheated ten times. He took a blessing that was not designed for him. The design of God for him was great in its uniqueness. But he switched by stealing and duping. He was a con man and he was conned too. Don't be surprise that he struggled to start a business, he struggled for a good family though he ended up with polygamous struggles. The man went in Esau Identity until he met the angel again. He thought all he had gathered by conning people were blessing until he saw TRUE BLESSING. And he cried for it. The angel could only ask for his name in all he asked for. Waoh! Why? How could bless me relate with what is your name? The identity has to change. The hand of Esau need to be chopped off. The voice of Jacob must merge with the hand  of Jacob for true blessing. Young man, don't gather money and possession and loose the TRUE blessing of God. He changed his identity and God became his God. When God is your GOD, you have all you need for life and godliness. You have all you can never asked for or imagine.  The one who owns money and possessions is in your camp. That's true Blessing. Once you posses the voice of Jacob and hand of Esau, be certain that you will walk alone and all your gathering will end in regret and sorrow. Let your voice merge with your hand. Don't be a CON man. Don't take what belong to others by duping them.
