Notes:
Healing over afflicted knee. Laid hands over forehead. Knee no longer
pain. 
Laid hands over wring area but God still heals.
SERMON STARTS:
Jesus still doing miracles today. Faith comes by hearing and hearing the
Word of God. Every time hear about Jesus, will exp miracles. Pulpit for
unveiling Jesus. Not psychology or science. Every time come to church
it’s to be transformed by Jesus as u see Him in the worship and as the
sermon expounds Him.
If transformation is through effort must maintain effort. If effortless,
u dun have to maintain it. U have it by beholding.
Abraham and Lot-
When God blesses u, there is something about the blessing that makes u
grateful to god. No relationship with God if u strive to obtain the
blessings God already means for u. Lot went by sight. Wanted to possess
with his own strength and efforts.
Do u realise the well watered lands of Jordan is in the scope of what
God showed Ab. If u settle with God, He will give u much more.
Ab was promised the entire land of Israel.
Always told give this up for God. But He will give u something better.
Not take this away so u get nothing else. He has something better in
store always.
S&G was judged but Ab was on the mountain and in His shalom and at rest.
God will give us so much more with peace and without stress.
Prob is people don’t trust god and rather trust their own efforts.
When u drive a car, Ur windscreen is large, rear view mirror small.
Suppose to drive looking fwd n not bkwd.
Ps65:11- this year’s church theme.
When LOT (a veil) left Abraham- Lot rept believers believers still
holding on to the veil. Dun see Jesus. Veil on their heart and face.
Holds them back from seeing what blessings god has for them.
The moment the veil left Abraham, God to Ab- all that u see I give it to
u.
How do u see urself? What u see I give to u. We see in the Spirit and if
u can see it, it is yours.
What will u give me seeing myself childless-?- Ab to God. God showed him
and changed the way he saw.
Ab went to save Lot, armed his servants vs the 4 Kings- 97 servants per
king with a huge army. Must be God at work.
Prioritizing God doesn’t mean He doesn’t bless us in our other areas
also.
Melchizedek came with bread and wine. Came at the perfect timing becoz
Ab needed that ministry. All the time, LOT was there. But no record of
him partaking. Believer with no revelation of Holy Comm. Health through
B&W, Wealth thrift the tithe.
Tithe- masser
Rich- aser
Aser in masser
MEM ayin Shin Resh- maaser
Ayin Shin Resh- Aser
Ab knew he would be rich but not by Satanic ways or the ways of human
effort, not by godless or worldly ways.
Ab tithed but Lot didn’t becoz no revelation. No mention.
Lot went back to Sodom whilst God was revealing gospel story to Ab. Ab
was righteous and knew he was righteous, but Lot was righteous but
didn’t know.
If u dunno u are righteous by faith u will try by performance to be what
u already are.
Enforce the victory of Christ. One thing to fight from victory and
another to fight for victory. Ur place is a given, a gift, a rest in
Christ.
Jacob and Esau-
Jacob’s 2 sons.
Jacob- supplanter. Had the heart for first born blessings (double
portion, anointing of the priest, king and prophet)
Esau- first born. Had no heart for first born blessings.
Red Lentils- Jacob cooking.
Esau sold his birth rights to Jacob for soup.
Gen 27:26-30
Daddies it is ok to kiss ur son. v26
What Isaac said over Jacob = blessing. What said over Esau- not
blessing.
Firstborn blessing- given not earned. If God gives u, no one can rob
from u.
Many blessings we have God intends for us, we try to obtain ourselves.
Receive instead.
Blessed are those who bless u. Cursed are those who curse u.
Look at nation of Israel today. Every empire that tried to conquer
Israel or touch Israel in the past, gone. Syrians, Romans for eg.
Jews hVe won more noble prize than any race.
A few mths after the Europeans complaint about Israel using their
passports to get a terrorist, they couldn’t use their passports. Freak
volcanic ash issue.
GOD didn’t set His love on u because u are perfect. God didn’t set His
love on Israel because they are perfect.
Jesus says- Bless those who curse u. Why? There are repercussions on
those who curse u.
When Esau came to claim his birthright, Isaac couldn’t reverse it. Not
about what we do. Our blessings = irreversible. V33
Parents u have power in ur mouth that ur kid’s colleagues and peers
don’t have. Nothing like a parent’s blessing. Kid’s heart always crying
out for their parent’s blessings.
Even God praised Jesus when he came out of waters of baptism. Before he
did a miracle.
Best had been given out to Jacob. V37- grain and wine.
V39- Esau’s father “Answered” not “blessed” him.
Ur dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth- Esau
NIV and NASB said dwelling shall be FAR from the fatness.
Esau dwells there but doesn’t own it. Given to Jacob.
Fatness of the earth- crude oil.
Which is better? U own the house or u rent it?
V40- live by the sword- strive. cut throat competitiveness.
Jacob- everything rcv. Need not compete. God doesn’t have to bless u at
another’s expense.
The more He gives, the more He has. God is inexhaustible ESP when He
gives.
Dew of heaven first then earth. – spiritual truths. Special.
If earth then dew of heaven= leftover blessing.
Prov 19- FAVOUR OF THE KING = dew on the grass. King’s wrath like a
roaring lion- devil causing u to feel like Jesus is angry with u. When u
feel like Jesus doesn’t love u, angry with u- Juz expc roaring lion.
Regardless of ur shortcomings, u UN have to worry. He gives u the FAVOUR
of heaven.
If Heaven favors u, angels go to work for u. U want God’s dew on ur
life.
When God appeared to Gideon, who was hiding, Gideon spoke request to God
to keep ground dry and cause Dew to fall on the fleece of wool.
Wool- lamb of god. Before he came we were all dry. Later He became dry
so all the dew of heaven came on us.
Grain and wine – Jesus and His finished work. Holy Comm. Jesus was
trampled and spat on so He could provide His wine for us. He was pounded
and crushed so we would have health.
Whatever is instated at the end- important.
When Jesus was raised from the dead, had communion with the disciples.
The moment the disciples took communion, their eyes were opened.
Fatness of the earth- MISHMAN : Fat
MEM- noun.
Shemen- olive oil
MISHMAN- olive oil hidden in the fatness. Best blessings hidden in the
anointing of the olive oil.
MEM shin MEM Noon- MISHMAN
Shin MEM noon- Shemen
Acts 2:46,47—- DAILY partake and God DAILY added
Jessica was ill. Ps first instinct was to take her to doc. Stomach pain.
Looking listless and miserable. But realized he had out earth over
heaven. Leftover blessing. So stopped himself. Partook HC and 15mins
later, Jessica was healed. No pain and bubbly. Walk in the grain, wine
and oil- firstborn blessing.
All the evil things in this world will pass over u but the blessings of
the LORD will never pass over u.
When demons see a child of God with bread in one hand and wine in the
other, they are terrified of us.
Fall of men through eating. Redemption of men also through eating.
In Christ, the physical inheritance doesn’t matter any more.
Descendants of Esau today own the black oil. One area of blessing but
not the blessing that brings about other blessings (golden oil).
Deut 7:13-15
Blessing of Ur grain, ur new wine and oil— leads to “u shall be
blessed over all peoples”.”— leads to u shall not be barren…. AND
THE LORD WILL TAKE AWAY FROM U ALL SICKNESS.
God calls diseases terrible. He hates diseases as much as He hates sin.
From same tree.
Deut 28:49, 51
V49-
Romans- eagle
Hitler/ Nazis- eagle
V51- first thing enemy attacks is grain, wine and oil. Where there is
faith, no superstition.
Book of Joel- bless ur bread, wine and oil
Chain that brings ur prayer to Heaven and Heaven responds
Hosea 2:8,20-23
V8: Israel didn’t know God had given Her grain, wine and oil and
multiplied her gold.
V21: earth saying to heaven, heaven saying to God- earth shall answer
with GRAIN, NEW WINE AND OIL.
With every question/ conflict/ trial on earth, must respond with grain,
wine and oil & God will respond!
Gen 33:8-11
V9 – enough= Rav (PLENTY) — Esau never mention God.
v11- Chanan= grace— Jacob mentions God and grace. Enough= Kol
(EVERYTHING, IN TOTALITY).
See NIV for the most accurate Hebrew English translation.
People haVe plenty but we have ALL things.
Plenty< EVERYTHING
