"By your sword you shall live, And you shall serve your brother; And it shall come to pass, when you become restless, That you shall break his yoke from your neck.” Gens 27:40 (NKJV).
Isaac said to him,
"You’ll live far from Earth’s bounty, remote from Heaven’s dew. You’ll live by your sword, hand-to-mouth, and you’ll serve your brother. But when you can’t take it any more you’ll break loose and run free. Gen 27:39-40 The Message (MSG)
"But you shall live by your sword, And serve your brother; However it shall come to pass when you break loose [from your anger and hatred],That you will tear his yoke off your neck [and you will be free of him].” Gen 27:40 Amplified Bible (AMP)
By your sword you shall live and serve your brother. But [the time shall come] when you will grow restive and break loose, and you shall tear his yoke from off your neck. Gen 27:40 Classic Edition (AMPC)
A very important scenario is painted here - ,
-there is no unpalatable /ungodly situation that cannot be changed.
-You are neither too young nor too old for a divine turn around.
-We should not make tolerable a condition we do not like.
The key players here were all members of one family. Issac, Esau, Jacob, and Rebecca. A recap of events is that, Esau, lost his birthright due to his carelessness of divine destinies and realities. Jacob was conscious of the spiritual tradition of transference of THE BLESSING. A test on Esau to find out how important HIS COVENANT right was showed his disdain for it. Choosing to have a morsel of food to the leverage for the BLESSING -His Birthright. There was already a switch in the spirit and Isaac was not aware. Hence, the conflict he experienced in the whole process of transferring the Blessing. 1 Esau had also prepared savory food and brought it to his father and said to him, Let my father arise and eat of his son’s game, that you may bless me.
32 And Isaac his father said to him, Who are you? And he replied, I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.
33 Then Isaac trembled and shook violently, and he said, Who? Where is he who has hunted game and brought it to me, and I ate of it all before you came and I have blessed him? Yes, and he shall be blessed.
The impact on the aged Isaac was that he"trembled and shook violently"! Picture an 70-80 year old man in this mould! This is the powerful import of a divine occurrence on human life. But Jacob had it all to himself.
BUT!
DIVINE RESTLESS from Esau would cause a turn around. "You’ll live far from Earth’s bounty, remote from Heaven’s dew. You’ll live by your sword, hand-to-mouth, and you’ll serve your brother. But when you can’t take it any more you’ll break loose and run free. Gen 27:39-40 The Message (MSG)
Where Esau was was not the expected place. He was meant to live in the EARTH'S Bounty, and under HEAVENS DEW. But his complacency caused him a switch in the spirit. Scarcity was decreed over him, servitude was pronounced but praise God a way of Escape is also given! ..."But when you can’t take it any more you’ll break loose and run free." That is what a godly restlessness can cause in your life. A turn around, a breakthrough to the bounties of the earth and the dew of the heavens!
HOW TO USE YOUR RESTLESSNESS:
Turn to God first. Consider the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-32)when he said .."How many hired servants of my father have enough food, and [even food] to spare, but I am perishing (dying) here of hunger! I will get up and go to my father,
He told himself the truth of his present situation. After which he intentionally took the right action -(Faith and works), "So he got up and came to his [own] father". He did not consult any other person. Divine restlessness takes you back to
-the source to get the breakthrough;
-deal with the current status of your life
There is a guarantee of acceptance, help and ultimately restoration to the choice place of your destiny..."But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was moved with pity and tenderness [for him]; and he ran and embraced him and kissed him [[j]fervently]. But the father said to his bond servants, Bring quickly the best robe (the festive robe of honor) and put it on him; and give him a ring for his hand and sandals for his feet.
Do not tolerate a condition you do not like, Remember, BREAKTHROUGH is a militant/military concept. You cannot have a civilian mentality and experience victory in the war-front. Put on the whole armour of God. There is a realm in the second heaven where hierarchically, you destruction had been determined! A cohesive force armed with your ancestral biodata, with only one intention: deny you the fullness of the bounty of the earth and the dew of heaven.
THE RIGHTWAY:
"Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God to seek from Him a straight and right way for us, our little ones, and all our possessions. Ezra8:21
David and the LORD of Breakthrough: 2 Sam5:17-23
When it was heard that David was crowned king, the enemies sought David, while sending a message about the "gathering of giants" at the valley of Raphaim, but it was recorded about David, "but [he] heard of it and went down to the stronghold" as "the Philistines also came and spread themselves in the Valley of Rephaim.
"And David came to Baal-perazim, and he smote them there, and said, The Lord has broken through my enemies before me, like the bursting out of great waters. So he called the name of that place Baal-perazim [Lord of breaking through]. The same place they called Valley of Giants, became symbolic to God's praise as Lord of breakthrough! Friends you will rename that same place with the testimony of God's manifestation.
And yet it is recorded that they still came back, the same place, but praise God! victory is assured still. God, himself unleashed the warlords of His domain. I believe the return of the enemies was more intense than before, But the Lord of breakthrough already had His name defining the place. You have won the land of your conquest, if you go to your STRONGHOLD like David.
Paul the Apostle had this to say, "But I will tarry in Ephesus until Pentecost. For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries." 1 Cor 16:8-9.
He had to tarry as he must have learnt the word of Christ, tarry for power! Go to your stronghold. This breakthrough is by God. The signature of God must be on it. His glory must be revealed, and that, through you. The Lord of breakthrough has appeared. Halleluyah!
