MFM Daily Devotional Sunday 21 June 2020 OUTLINE
I have some hard facts to share with you today. Sometime ago, I met an old classmate of over twenty years. We sat down and started reminiscing about our other classmates, one after the other. As we went through their names, we discovered that some of them had turned out very well in their chosen fields.
The lives of many, however, could not be reconciled with the fact that we began together, studied together under the same roof, taught by the same teachers and shared the same hopes of a bright future. The stories of other classmates that my classmate told me were heart-breaking. The story of Jacob and Esau reminds also confirms such divergences of destinies as are the common people who shared identical beginnings.
I went to attend a conference in Port-Harcourt in Nigeria recently. I missed my way to the place, so I got down from the car. As I did, I saw a man looking half normal and half insane, roaming around a particular garden. I moved away because he looked abnormal. By the time he saw me, he came closer and said to me in our dialect (Yoruba dialect), “Omoolopa,” meaning “the son of a police officer.” He was referring to me, because my father was once an officer in the Nigerian Police Force. He mentioned the name of my father and the name of the school from which I passed out. I was speechless.
After sometime, I recognised him as one of my classmates in school. I called his name and asked: “What are you doing here? Why are you roaming around the streets? Why are you in this kind of clothes?” The next thing he said was: “I must get to America.” The Holy Spirit then gave me a check that something was wrong with him. The point I was making is that, we started together, but evil got hold of his destiny while some of his mates are in better positions in life. The story of Esau and Jacob clearly portrayed the problems of tragic destinies.
Beloved, the story of these two brothers may appear remote. But, the truth is that each of us has a personal Esau to struggle with. Who is your own personal Esau? A personal Esau is a reality that you cannot run away from but you have to face with serious prayers.
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE
