We cannot continue to look back, we cannot live in the shadow of the past, we cannot evolve if the ghosts of the past haunt us.
We need to be free to move forward.
And it is in this vein that we are going to talk about Jacob.
The bible tells us that Jacob was an usurper, a manipulator, he stole the birthright from his brother Esau and because of his brother Esau’s anger and decision to kill him, Jacob fled, he started living on the run and ended up with his uncle Laban.
Once there, Jacob took care of the sheep of his uncle who exploited him, who used him to enrich himself more and more.
Jacob is interested in Rachel and to pay the dowry, he must work seven years as compensation but he does not receive what he wants and must work another seven years to receive Rachel.
Let’s look at a blessed man who has received his father’s blessing, a gentleman who bears the blessing but he is a servant.
Jacob was influenced by his name, he had the claims that followed him, he was limited by his past.
Also, Lot and his daughters left the city of Sodom and Gomorrah physically but they still maintained the mentalities of this corner, and this is the reason why they were overtaken by the demons of the city where they grew up.
For them, incest was frequent and that is why they found it normal to get their father drunk and to sleep with him.
That our past and our limitations do not push us to betray our Jesus and step out of our areas of glory.
Fast and pray to avoid focusing on your past and your limitations.
1 Corinthians, 7:21 – Were you called a slave, do not worry about it; but if you can become free, rather take advantage of it.
For the Christian who is in a position of subordination, there can be difficult situations depending on what the superior requires.
Let us know that it is the Lord who delivers those who wait on him.
However, if we can free ourselves from a human constraint to be more available for the Lord, we must use it.
Paul says in this text that if slaves have the opportunity to go and find freedom, to become freed, they can take advantage of the opportunity they have but if they have no door open before them, let them happy where they are.
In Christ they are free despite the circumstances of life.
Let us cling to Jesus, he will tear down the boundaries in front of us.
hello to us
Have a good day
