Timeless Truth
With Pastor Tope Oyeneye
The Relevance Of Jacob
Scripture.
Genesis 25:23 KJV
"And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, And two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; And the one people shall be stronger than the other people; And the elder shall serve the younger".
Message:
I want you to know today that there is difference between having money with material possession and being relevant in Gods plan and agenda on earth. Many people have money and material possession but may not be relevant in the agenda of God on earth. Being relevant with God's agenda is being in the centre of Gods will and doing what God wants you to be doing. Being in the permissive will of God is different from being in His perfect will.
There is the good will, the acceptable will and perfect will of God (Rom. 12v2). Esau sold his birthright and automatically missed the blessing that was meant for him. When his brother met him over 20 years after and wanted to give him gifts, Esau said, "I have enough". The scriptures says in Genesis 33:9 (KJV) "And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself". Esau had enough but he was not in the perfect will of God.
God had blessed Jacob too and increased him. Gen. 30:43 (KJV) says, "And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses". Jacob had enough, Gen. 33:11(KJV) says "..; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it". Being in the centre of the perfect will of God enhances the right results, but it is possible to still have results outside His perfect will.
The difference between Esau and Jacob was that, Jacob didn't just have material possession, he remained relevant in God's plan on earth. Jacob followed God through all the way, God was supposed to be "the God of Abraham, Isaac and Esau", but He became "the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob". Jacob grew from just one man "Jacob", into a nation called "Israel". And the eyes of God remained on that nation forever.
God will mark your relevance in line with His plan for your life and not just with physical results or material possession. If you do a mathematical exam and you wrote geographically correct answers in the answer sheet that are irrelevant to the questions asked, you will still be marked wrong. Though what you wrote was correct, but it is not relevant to the questions that the examiner asked. You will fulfil all that God sent you to this world to do and you will finish well in Jesus name.
