TOPIC: Reconciliation
TEXT: Genesis 33:1-17(NKJV)
STUDY: As part of his grand plan to meet with Esau, Jacob placed the children of the maidservants and those of Leah in front and of course, his beloved Rachel was at the back with her only son, Joseph. Crafty man! He himself approached Esau alone: He became very humble and bowed himself to the ground seven times.
God intervened and touched the heart of Esau and he ran and embraced him. Esau never recounted the past; in that instant, they were blood brothers again. They reconciled. Jacob persuaded Esau to accept some gifts from him to show he had found his favour; Jacob’s actions came from a guilty conscience all through the encounter.
Many families, communities and even some members of denominations are today entangled in quarrels that have lasted for years; Some from one generation to the other. Bitterness has been entrenched in many hearts as many have refused to forget or forgive. Such people still pray daily the portion of the Lord’s Prayer that requests God to forgive us as we forgive those who hurt us.
Let us emulate Esau and Jacob here and reconcile our differences, let go of all bitterness of the past and learn to love one another. This can only be possible if we give our lives to Christ and decide to forgive one another from the depth of our hearts as God forgives us. We must start today.
PRAYER: Prayer: Dear Lord, you reconciled us with the Father, may you help me to be reconciled with whoever I have anything against.
Daily Fountain Quote of the Day
Hebrews 10:19-23: “Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.”
