TOPIC : UNDERSTANDING LOYALTY
(Special edition)
GENERATIONAL PROGRESSION
TEXT: GENESIS 49:1-7
Using God's principles, the fate of sons are determined by their fathers.
God placed Reuben as the head in Jacob's family to enjoy the double portion of his father's blessings.
Jacob disagreed because of Reuben's disloyalty to him. Jacob changed the order and gave the leadership to Judah and the blessings of birthright to Joseph. For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the chief ruler; but the birthright was Joseph's:) - 1 Chronicles 5:2.
God accepted Jacob's decision and routed Jesus the chief ruler through Judah instead of Reuben.
Elisha determined the fate of Gehazi when he became disloyal. Elisha pronounced a curse on Gehazi that ended his destiny.
Spiritual father can still do it today.
Jacob cursed Simeon and Levi and said: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel - Genesis 49:7. The result of this curse was that Levi's inheritance in Canaan, was scattered among all the tribes. And the children of Israel gave unto the Levites out of their inheritance, at the commandment of the LORD, these cities and their suburbs - Joshua 21:3.
Fathers have the backing of God to deny you of what is yours if you are disloyal to them. Even if they keep quiet, God punishes disloyalty.
Know this, disloyalty to a father is destiny forsaken.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
