-          Irreversible Blessings

Esau had a birthright as a worthy/precious asset, unfortunately, he was careless. He never appreciated what he had until he lost it. Esau sold his birthright to his younger brother; he lost his position and he equally lost his blessings to Jacob. He mortgaged his tomorrow because of food.

He deserved blessings from his father. Unfortunately for him, those blessings were irreversible blessings. A loss to Esau became a gain to Jacob.

What Provoked The Irreversible Blessings?

Jacob gave his father to eat. After eating, Isaac pronounced irreversible blessings on Jacob – The Power of Food. Further examples buttressing the power of food are;

-          Genesis 18:2-10: Abraham entertained three divine visitors; he gave them food to eat and water to drink. Abraham and his wife were blessed with the long awaited miracle (Isaac).

-          I Kings 17:10-16: The widow of Zaraphath gave Elijah food and after he finished eating, he blessed her and lack became a thing of the past in her life.

-          Exodus 12: The children of Israel ate the Lord’s Supper, after eating, the Lord executed their enemies.

-          Genesis 19: Lot entertained two Angels who were on destructive assignment which led to them sparing Lot’s family.

What is The Food of God?

The answer is PRAISE.

When you pray, you get God informed but when you PRAISE, you get God involved.

-          God dwells in the place of PRAISE: Psalm 22:3.

-          When you Praise Him, you glorify Him: Psalm 50:23^a.

-          PRAISE provokes divine Intervention: Acts 16:25&26.

-          PRAISE provokes Divine Blessings: Psalm 67:5&6.

-          PRAISE can provoke Victory without a Fight: 2 Chronicles 20:20-25.
