“And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.”
Genesis 25:31 KJV
“Yes, but first you must trade me your birthright,” Jacob replied. The birthright refers to the right of the firstborn to inherit from the father a double portion - twice as much as the younger siblings inherit. Jacob now rightfully possesses the rights and blessings of the firstborn, which included authority, headship, double portion inheritance, and the right to be the priest of the family. God identifies Himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The God of Abraham is God of Promises Fulfilled. The God of Isaac is the God of Inheritance and Miracles. The God of Jacob is the God of Transformation, for Jacob becomes Israel, a prince with God. God gives us the promise, but the promise requires a miracle to perform it. This miracle-promise releases true transformation within the heart of man. This is the revelation of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, available to all mankind through faith in the Blood poured at the Cross of Christ. Amen!
