MFM Daily Devotional March 23, 2025 MESSAGE
Another lesson to learn from the life of Esau is that skills and strength alone do not necessarily translate into success in life without the favour and mercy of God. The race of life is not to the swift. Hannah in 1 Samuel 2:9 says, “For by strength shall no man prevail.”
Esau was a man of skill and strength, as we know that hunting is not a job for the weak. He was hardworking but lacked divine favour. It’s not bad to work hard and gather skills, but as we are gathering skills, we must also pray for divine favour to make our skills work for us. Esau was a favour-deficient workaholic.
When Esau was called to go and bring savoury meat so he might be blessed, his mom heard it. Esau, out of excitement, quickly went on a hunting adventure. We were not told how many hours or days that journey lasted, but we know it wasn’t a quick one. He had to hunt in a forest, watch and wait for an animal, kill the animal, then start his journey back home again with the load of the slain animal.
What a stressful journey! Meanwhile, his mom, who had heard about the savoury meat and the blessing, had rushed to tell Jacob. In no time, both of them had prepared a savoury meal for Isaac. Isaac even asked Jacob how he was able to find it so quickly. Jacob replied and said that God brought it to him (Genesis 27:20). Indeed, God’s favour brought it to him. What took Esau a very stressful journey to achieve, Jacob achieved in minutes.
May the favour of God journey with you in life in the name of Jesus. There is an adage where I hail from in Yoruba land (Western part of Nigeria) that says, “Kirakita odola, kasise bi eru koda nkan,” meaning overworking oneself does not translate into wealth.
It’s not by power, nor by might, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord. In Genesis 27:30, by the time Esau came back from his stressful hunting journey, the favoured one had been blessed. I pray again, may we not lack divine favour in our life’s endeavour in the name of Jesus.
There is a product from heaven, beloved, that can give to you in ten minutes what others worked very hard to get in ten years. There is a product from heaven that can move you from the backseat to the front. There is a product from heaven that can turn a zero to a hero and a nonentity to a celebrity.
There is a product from heaven that can redeem time for man. This product is called DIVINE FAVOUR. This product can make the journey of life to be smooth and stress-free. May this product become our daily experience in life and destiny, in the name of Jesus.
