When God honors a man or woman for serving him, he blesses them with children of Grace.
God is faithful to His Word and His Ways. All over the bible/scripture we see this repeat pattern in the lives of the Fathers and Mothers of Faith, from generation to generation.

Abraham believed God and it was counted to him as righteousness. When God tested his faith and it proved to be genuine, God made a covenant with him to make him the Father of many nations. Isaac his beloved son was raised to walk like his father. He was the perfect son. However Isaac gave birth to Esau and Jacob who were not close to Abraham and seemed not to have had the same relationship with God as Isaac did. But simply by virtue of being the seeds of Abraham, they were partakers in the Covenant and Blessing God had made with Abraham and their faith Isaac. (Genesis 26-33)

Esau did not even value his birth right because he did not understand the value of the covenant his father had with God. He seemingly didn't have a relationship with God.
Jacob on the other hand valued the Covenant and Blessing attached to the birth right. Perhaps simply because he was covetous, perhaps because his mother whom he seemed to be closer to had shared the value with him. He like wise did not seem to have a relationship with God.
Esau and Jacob were simply Chuldreb of Grace, by virtue of their grand father Abraham and their father Isaac. Whether they knew it or not, whether they served God or not, they were privy to the covenant of Blessing that their Grand parents and parents had suffered laboriously for. They inherited the Good Gifts of God without having to work for it.

God, as seen all over the scrioture and in reality, is Faithful to His Word and His Ways.
God's Covenant of Blessing is too precious to cast to swine where it is not valued. And it is too sacred to be commit to the wrong hands. God's name is too Holy to be profaned.
Jacob inherited the eternal spiritual blessing because he coveted it and valued it.
And when the time was right God orchestrated the situations that will make him finally know Him personal and have a relationship with him like Isaac his father did. Like Abraham his Grand father did.
On his journey to escape from Esau, Jacob eventually came to Luz where he encountered God and renamed Bethel because there he finally knew the God of Fathers and also made a covenant to serve Him.


Decades later, He would finally inherited the eternal blessing when he encountered the angel of God and wrestled with him all night till he received his promise.
Then God gave him a new name- Israel because he had prevailed with God and Man.
God became the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Jacob's story is a very relatable one.
Most of us born into Christian homes are either going to be like Jaob or like Esau. Yet God says Jacob he loves, Esau he hates.
By virtue of our parents being Christians who served God (not just church-goers), we are born to inherit God's blessing because our parents are in a covenant with God.
However, like Esau, some of us do not know or do not value the eternal blessing we are born into. We trivialise our faith. We are even ashamed of our heritage. We want to be like others. We want to do things our own way. We choose material blessings over our spiritual blessings.

We are naturally gifted with gifts others do not have. We find ourselves under a divine protection that things others do and get destroyed, we either don't do them at all or we do them and get away unscathed.
We find ourselves endued with leadership skills yet often we run away from leadership positions.

Until we come to our Bethel experience, we may not understand ourselves and we may continue to live outside the covenant of God for our lives. We may find ourselves with so much potentials, yet living unfulfilled lives.
I pray we come to the knowledge of our Inheritance as Children of Grace. I pray we understand that what others are searching a their lives for, pur parents suffered to inherit this divine blessing for us. Some of our parents sacrificed so much material blessings for the spiritual blessing. Some of them suffered shame in the hands of family members. Some sacrificed the lucrative jobs to serve God. Some sacrificed their lives to secure this eternal blessing for us.
Until we ourselves come into this personal encounter and relationship with God, He can not trust us to commit into our hands the weightier things.
May we not continue to run around in circles in Jesus name. Amen.

Have you encountered Children of Grace that have encountered God and have Personal relationship with God? They are exceptional beyond measure.
They are sure of who they are in Christ.
They are Problem solvers and Solution Providers.
They are trail-blazers in spiritual things and in their communities.
They are Inventors and innovators.
They are Great Parents and Siblings and friends.
They are Great followers and leaders who are blessings to work with.
They naturally know what's right and what's wrong and they always seem to make the right decisions.

Are you a Child of Grace?
Have you met one?
Are you raising one?
Would you like to be one?

May the Grace of our LORD Jesus Christ, the Love of God and the Sweet Fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us now and for ever.
Amen and Amen.

If the child of Grace is privy to such divine heritage as Jacob and the Jews had because of God's Covenant with the Fathers of Faith, HOW MUCH MORE A CHILD OF GRACE because of God's Covenant with Jesus Christ, His Only Begotten/Beloved and Precious Son? Selah
