INTRODUCTION

THE TROUBLED CHILD OF THE CHOSEN FAMILY
AND THE MOVIE WAS ABOUT THIS PREACHER WHO WAS HAVING LARGE HEALING MEETINGS
AND BEFORE THE SERVICE WOULD START, THE GREETERS WOULD ASK THE NAME AND WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE PERSON
THE GREETERS AND THE PREACHER HAD MICROPHONES AND EAR DEVICES SO THAT THEY COULD COMMUNICATE
WHILE THE GREETERS WERE GETTING THE INFORMATION OF THE SICK PERSON, THE PREACHER WAS IN THE BACK WRITING DOWN THE INFORMATION
THE CHURCH TEAM ALSO HAD PEOPLE THAT THEY WOULD PUT IN DIFFERENT PLACES OF THE BUILDING THAT WOULD BE THERE TO START THE SCANDAL
SO, ONCE THE PREACHER FINISHED THE MESSAGE, FIRST HE WOULD CALL OUT THE PEOPLE ON THE TEAM AND SAY THAT GOD IS HEALING SOME DISEASE
THE PEOPLE ON THE TEAM WOULD STAND UP AND JUMP UP AND DOWN AND ACT AS IF THEY WERE HEALED
ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND THEN JACOB
THEN, HE WOULD START CALLING OUT THE NAMES AND SICKNESS OF THE PEOPLE WHICH THE GREETERS FOUND
THEN
THEY WOULD MOVE FROM CITY TO CITY DOING THIS UNTIL THEY GOT CAUGHT
FIGHTING IN HIS MOTHER’S WOMB
THE AMAZING THING WAS THAT MANY OF THE SICK THAT ATTENDED THE MEETINGS RECEIVED HEALING
THEY CONCLUDED THAT FAITH WOULD FILL THE HEARTS OF THE SICK PEOPLE WHEN THEY SAW THE ACTORS ACTING LIKE THEY RECEIVED HEALING
FIGHTING TO BE THE FIRSTBORN
THE PREACHER DISCOVERED THAT GOD LOVES HIS PEOPLE SO MUCH THAT HE WOULD STILL WORK MIRACLES AND HONOUR HIS WORD REGARDLESS OF THE PREACHER’S LIFE
THE PREACHER WENT BACK TO PREACHING WITHOUT THE DECEPTION AND EVENTUALLY STEPPED INTO A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE WORD
FIGHTING FOR THE DIVINE BLESSING
WE ARE DEALING WITH A SIMILAR CHARACTER
FIGHTING FOR HIS WIVES
BEFORE HE WAS EVEN BORN, HE WAS FIGHTING FOR A BLESSING
FIGHTING TO GET BACK TO THE PROMISED LAND
FIGHTING IN THE WOMB
JACOB, THE ONE WHO TOLD PHARAOH
Genesis 47:9 KJV 1900
And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
FIGHTING FOR HIS WIVES
GENESIS 47
SOMEONE YOU WOULD CALL A REBEL
FIGHTING TO GET BACK TO THE PROMISED LAND
BUT, HE KNEW THE VALUE OF THE BLESSING OF GOD
WE READ HIS ASSESSMENT OF HIS LIFE
Genesis 47:9 KJV 1900
And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
HE WOULD WITHOUT HESITATION TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HIS POSITION
GENESIS 47:98
AND INSTEAD OF GIVING HIS BROTHER NOURISHMENT, SOLD HIM A BOWL OF DAL FOR THE BIRTHRIGHT-AN INHERITANCE THAT WAS DOUBLE THE OTHER BROTHERS, INCLUDING BECOMING HEAD OF THE FAMILY
JACOB KNEW THE VALUE OF GODLY THINGS
HE WOULD DO ALMOST ANYTHING TO GET THE BLESSING: LYING, DECEIVING, STEALING, AND TAKING GOD’S NAME IN VAIN
BUT, HE COULD NOT WAIT FOR THE PROPER TIME OR THE PROPER WAY
HOW DESTRUCTIVE IMPATIENCE CAN BE
HOW DANGEROUS TO DO THINGS YOUR OWN WAY INSTEAD OF GOD’S
HE KNEW THE VALUE AND TOOK ADVANTAGE OF HIS BROTHER’S AND HIS FATHER’S WEAKNESS TO OBTAIN THESE
ISAAC WAS BLIND AND WAS PLANNING ON PASSING THE FAMILY BLESSING TO ESAU, INSTEAD OF JACOB-WHO WAS GOD’S CHOICE
HE AND HIS MOTHER SET ASIDE FAITH TO OBTAIN THIS BY HUMANLY MEANS
JACOB WOULD DRESS LIKE ESAU AND LIE AND TAKE THE LORD’S NAME IN VAIN TO CAPTURE THE BLESSING
ISAAC ASKED, HOW DID YOU GET THE FOOD SO FAST
JACOB REPLIED, BECAUSE THE LORD THY GOD BROUGHT IT TO ME
HE CREDITED GOD FOR HIS OWN MANIPULATION
AFTER EXAMINING JACOB, ISAAC BLESSED HIM THINKING THAT IT WAS ESAU
THIS WAS SO SACRED THAT IT COULD NOT BE REVERSED
THEREFORE, ESAU HATED JACOB AND PURPOSED TO KILL HIM
ALL OF HIS PLANNING AND SCHEMING HAVE BACKFIRED ON HIM
NOW HE IS RUNNING FROM HOME AND RUNNING OUT OF THE PROMISED LAND
HE WOULD HAVE TO TRAVEL AROUND 643 KM TO HARAN
THE JOURNEY WOULD TAKE ABOUT A MONTH AND I’M SURE THAT MANY INCIDENTS HAPPENED UPON THIS JOURNEY BUT THE SPIRIT ONLY INCLUDES ONE
THE ONE ADVENTURE THAT WOULD LEAVE A MARK ON HIM FOR LIFE

BODY

JACOB IS JUST A FEW DAYS FROM HOME WITH ALL KINDS OF THINGS RUNNING THROUGH HIS MIND
MAYBE GOD WOULD ABANDON HIM BECAUSE OF HOW HE OBTAINED THE BLESSING
MAYBE THE BLESSING WOULD NOT FALL UPON HIM
IT LOOKS LIKE HE IS MOVING AWAY FROM HIS PROMISES
HAVE YOU EVER FELT THAT YOU WERE MOVING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION
HIS FUTURE IS INSECURE AS IS HIS PRESENT
HE IS JUST TRYING TO SURVIVE
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN JUST TRYING TO SURVIVE
SURVIVE UNTIL THE NEXT MEAL
SURVIVE UNTIL GOD BRINGS A BREAKTHROUGH INTO YOUR LIFE
SURVIVE THE SITUATIONS THAT YOU ARE IN RIGHT NOW
SURVIVE WITH THIS SICKNESS
SURVIVE WITH THIS FRUSTRATION
SURVIVE, HOPING THINGS WILL CHANGE IN YOUR FAVOR
SURVIVE KNOWING THAT IF YOU WOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY, YOU WOULD MAKE A DIFFERENT CHOICE
HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO GO BACK TO SOME PLACE IN YOUR LIFE AND MAKE A DIFFERENT CHOICE
SURVIVE, HOPING THAT THINGS WILL CHANGE IN YOUR FAVOR
HAVE YOU EVER JUST BEEN TRYING TO SURVIVE
NOW YOU CANNOT GO BACK AND MAKE A DIFFERENT CHOICE
ALL OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES WILL NOT ALLOW YOU
THE DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE AND YOU HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE FRUIT OF YOUR CHOICES
WHY DID I GET CAUGHT UP WITH THE WRONG KIND OF PEOPLE
JACOB WASN’T VERY LONG INTO HIS JOURNEY, MAYBE TWO TO THREE DAYS
THE THOUGHTS OF UNCERTAINTY
NOT KNOWING WHAT LIFE WILL BRING HIM NEXT
WE ALWAYS QUOTE
Psalm 37:23 KJV 1900
The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: And he delighteth in his way.
BUT, FORGET ABOUT
Psalm 37:24 KJV 1900
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: For the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.
YOU MAY HAVE FALLEN BUT YOU WILL NOT BE UTTERLY CAST DOWN
BECAUSE, GOD IS UPHOLDING YOU WITH HIS HAND
THIS MAY BE DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE, CONSIDERING YOUR ACTIONS
YOU MAY HAVE BEEN LYING OR MANIPULATING AND THERE IS THE DEVIL TELLING YOU THAT GOD HAS LEFT YOU THAT GOD HAS ABANDON YOU
YOU WRONGED SOME PEOPLE IN THE PROCESS AND THINK, HOW CAN GOD LOVE A PERSON LIKE ME
I DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BUT THE LORD IS UPHOLDING YOU WITH HIS HAND
YOU MAY HAVE DONE SOME THINGS THAT YOU DON’T WANT ANYONE TO KNOW BUT THE LORD IS UPHOLDING YOU WITH HIS HANDS
YOU MAY HAVE LOST YOUR JOB, BUT GOD IS UPHOLDING YOU WITH HIS HANDS
YOUR FAMILY MAY BE IN A MESS, BUT THE LORD IS UPHOLDING YOU IN HIS HANDS
YOU MAY HAVE SAID SOME THINGS THAT HURT PEOPLE BUT THE LORD IS UPHOLDING YOU
YOU MAY HAVE FALLEN BUT YOU SHALL NOT BE UTTERLY CAST DOWN
TO BE UTTERLY CAST DOWN IS TO BE FORCEFULLY THROWN
BUT, WE SERVE A GOD WHO WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU
HARISH MAY HAVE LEFT YOU, SATISH MAY BE GONE, SUDIPTA MAY HAVE THROWN YOU OUT
BUT, YOUR GOD HASN’T GIVEN UP
HE IS UPHOLDING YOU IN HIS HANDS
YOU MAY BE SAYING, YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT I HAVE DOWN
JACOB JUST DECEIVED HIS BLIND FATHER, USED THE LORD’S NAME IN VAIN, STOLEN HIS BROTHER’S BLESSING
AND AS HE IS RUNNING AWAY FROM MAN, HE RUNS INTO GOD
PEOPLE MAY HAVE TURNED FROM YOU BUT GOD PROMISES JACOB THAT HE WILL BE WITH HIM
WHEN THE LORD CALLS MOSES TO DELIVER THE ISRAELITES AFTER MOSES HAD COMMITTED MURDER, GOD PROMISES, I WILL BE WITH YOU
GOD TELLS JOSHUA, AS I WAS WITH MOSES, SO SHALL I BE WITH YOU
WHEN GOD’S PEOPLE ARE IN EXILE, GOD TELLS HIS PEOPLE, THE VIRGIN SHALL CONCEIVE AND CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL, GOD WITH US
EVEN IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE IN EXILE, GOD IS WITH YOU
YOU MAY FEEL ALONE ON YOUR JOURNEY BUT GOD IS WITH YOU
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT JACOB LIGHTED ON A CERTAIN PLACE
JACOB HAD REACHED HIS DESTINATION AND HAD A MEETING
HE IS ALONE, IT IS GETTING DARK OUTSIDE
I’M SURE THE DARKNESS ON THE OUTSIDE IS A REFLECTION OF THE DARKNESS THAT JACOB IS FEELING INSIDE
BUT, HE REACHED HIS DESTINATION-CERTAIN PLACE IN THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGE MEANS A SACRED SITE-A SANCTUARY
NO WONDER WHAT CAUSED THE NEXT EVENTS TO HAPPEN
HE IS IN A PLACE WHERE DIVINE COMMUNICATION TAKES PLACE
IF I NEED TO HEAR FROM GOD, THEN I NEED TO LABOR TO GET INTO HIS PRESENCE
IT IS THE PRESENCE OF GOD THAT MAKES A PLACE A SACRED SITE OR A SANCTUARY
JACOB HAD NOTHING TO DO JUST REACH THERE
AND HE LOOKED AROUND AND TOOK A STONE
I REMEMBER SOMEWHERE IT IS SAID THAT THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED HAS BECOME HEAD OF THE CORNER OR THE CHIEF CORNERSTONE
HE APPOINTED CHRIST THE RESTING PLACE FOR HIS HEAD
OF ALL THE THINGS THAT CAN BE GOING ON IN HIS MIND
THE BIBLE SAYS,
Isaiah 26:3 KJV 1900
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on thee: Because he trusteth in thee.
YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU REST YOUR HEAD
SAMSON RESTED HIS HEAD IN THE WRONG PLACE AND ALL HIS STRENGTH WAS STOLEN
JACOB RESTED HIS HEAD, HIS FAITH IN CHRIST AND THE HEAVENS OPEN
COMMUNICATION CAME FROM HEAVEN
