THE FATHER'S BLESSING
Text: Genesis 27:1-4
By: Adeaga O. Favour
Some blessings do not just come cheaply or on a platter of gold, there are specific things that must be done to qualify for them. From today's text, we discovered that when Isaac wanted to bless his son, he told him to "make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die," Gen 27:4
It was not as though the father could not bless without getting the gift from his son but because the blessing needed to come from his innermost being (soul), something needed to provoke it. A price had to be paid to unleash the blessing.
Also from the Scripture, you discover that after a major sacrifice had been accepted by God the Father, a blessing follows (Gen 8:20-9:1, Gen 22:16-18). So, if you don't have an earthly father, you can still connect and contact from your spiritual father.
REFLECTION FOR TODAY:
Giving to your father is a way to keep the blessing flowing.
ACTION:
Prepare a gift and present to your father.
Great morning!!!
