Y'shua HaMashiach the Firstborn Who Restored Our Birthright to the Kingdom of the Father | 3,650 Minutes of Prayer

Today is Day Eighty of 3,650. In this episode, we went back to Hebrews 12:16 and paused to understand what Esau actually gave up. We read Genesis 25, from Abraham to Isaac and Rebecca, how the twins struggled in her womb and God told her two nations would come from her and the older would serve the younger. We talked about Esau who came out reddish, and how he sold his birthright for a bowl of lentil stew. We broke down the Hebrew word for red, adom, and how it connects to adamah, the earth. Esau chose the physical over the spiritual. We then broke down the bekorah, the birthright, and what it truly carried. Not just wealth but family leadership and the spiritual legacy of the covenant. We reminded one another that Christ is the true Firstborn who restored the birthright for every believer. What Esau traded for stew, Y'shua purchased back with His blood. We challenged one another not to sell out our rights for the cheap copies of this world.Scriptures (AMP)Hebrews 12:16-17 "See to it that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who sold his own birthright for a single meal. For you know that later, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no opportunity for repentance, although he sought for it with tears."Genesis 25:22-23 "But the children struggled together within her; and she said, 'If it is so, why am I this way?' So she went to inquire of the Lord. The Lord said to her, 'Two nations are in your womb; and two peoples will be separated from your body; the older will serve the younger.'"Genesis 25:30-34 "Esau said to Jacob, 'Let me have a quick swallow of that red stuff there, for I am exhausted.'... Jacob said, 'First sell me your birthright.' ... So Esau despised his birthright."Deuteronomy 21:17 "But he shall acknowledge the firstborn by giving him a double portion of all that he has, for he is the beginning of his strength; to him belongs the right of the firstborn."Colossians 1:15 "He is the exact living image of the unseen God, the firstborn of all creation."Hebrews 12:2 "Looking away [from all that will distract us and] focusing our eyes on Jesus, who is the Author and Perfecter of faith."1 Peter 1:18-19 "You were not redeemed with perishable things like silver and gold, but with precious blood, like that of a sacrificial lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ."2 Corinthians 4:18 "So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal, but the things which are invisible are everlasting."Hebrew Word StudyAdom (אָדֹם) "red" connected to Adamah (אֲדָמָה) "earth, ground, dirt." Esau's redness and his craving for the red stew revealed his alignment with the earthly realm over the spiritual.Bekorah (בְּכוֹרָה) "birthright" from Bekor (בְּכוֹר) "firstborn." The birthright carried the double portion, family authority, and the spiritual legacy of the covenant. Esau despised it. Christ the true Bekor restored it.Edom (אֱדוֹם) the name given to Esau meaning "red." His identity became defined by the moment he chose the physical over the spiritual.There is One true God, the Creator of all things, revealed in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. There is One God and One Spirit Who has redeemed us all. I am Mathew Sekanjako, a believer in Christ Jesus (Y'shua HaMashiach), the one Son of God. I serve and confess God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. This intercession is offered in faith, in obedience, and in love, for all who will listen.
