TOPIC: SELF AFFLICTED TROUBLE

Memory Verse: Ps. 7:15
15 He made a pit and dug it out, And has fallen into the ditch which he made.

Bible Reading: Gen. 25:29-34
29 Now Jacob cooked a stew; and Esau came in from the field, and he was weary. 30 And Esau said to Jacob, “Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am weary.” Therefore his name was called Edom. 31 But Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright as of this day.” 32 And Esau said, “Look, I am about to die; so what is this birthright to me?” 33 Then Jacob said, “Swear to me as of this day.” So he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob. 34 And Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils; then he ate and drank, arose, and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.”
CONTROL YOUR APPETITE
When priority is misplace it can cause an everlasting affliction. Wrong priorities brings wrong future. What is your priority like? How do you handle your appetite? Do you always prioritise your appetite over other things? Through uncontrolled appetite many destiny has been truncated and some have ended up in the grave.
Esau got his priority wrong and it cost him his birthright. Just for an uncontrolled appetite for food, he lost his birthright. The blessings of Esau, as the first born, was transfered to Jacob that same day before the blessings from Isaac, their father. He lost his position that very day for a red stew and inherited a generational affliction. His family, the Edomite, became an enemy with Israel but couldn’t recovered from what their father has done.
Are you setting your priorities right when it comes to your appetite? What is that thing you can’t control your appetite for? Watch out so you won’t end up inflicting a generational trouble upon yourself. Be disciple with your appetite.
