Daily Fountain Devotional For Thursday, MESSAGE
Jacob called his sons to make pronouncements on them one by one. Many of these came to pass. For example, Reuben lost his birthright of double portion to Joseph for sleeping with Bilhah (Gen. 35:22); Jacob pronounced instability upon him. No prophet, judge or hero came from Reuben. On Simeon and Levi, Jacob pronounced that they be scattered in Israel (v.7).
Simeon was given an inheritance within the inheritance of Judah – Joshua 19:1 (no room for expansion). The Levites had no inheritance of their own, only cities scattered throughout the land. On Judah he declared in verse 10, “The sceptre shall not depart from Judah….” The kingship never departed from Judah even when the Kingdom was divided. Till date, the Kingdom of Judah still exist through the Lord Jesus.
The words of fathers are very powerful. Let us covet them earnestly and never joke with them. Maintain a good relationship with your father. Many even love to be at the bedside of their dying fathers to receive their last blessings before they breathe their last. Fathers, maintain good relationships with your children so that they will receive positive pronouncements and blessings before you leave these shores. Shalom.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, if I miss my father’s blessings, may I not miss yours in Jesus name. Amen.
