And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck. (Genesis 27:40 KJV)
I feel that the narrative presented above is familiar to all of us. Isaac wished to bestow his blessing on his son Esau. He requested venison so that he might bless him from the depths of his being.
Esau went on a hunt in order to bring home some game so that he could cook a nice feast for his father.
Jacob had already deceived his father and obtained the blessing before he returned home, having conspired with his mother to do so.
Even though Isaac had his reservations about Jacob’s person, Isaac ended up taking the food from him and blessing him.
After Esau had returned from the field, he learned about what his brother had been up to. He couldn’t hold back the emotions any longer as he begged his father for just one blessing. Isaac ought to have maintained his silence, but due to Esau’s insistence, he spoke up, and the words that came out of his mouth were not pleasant.
How to Get Angry and Get Results in Life
And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now unto thee, my son? (Genesis 27:37 KJV)
Isaac was more or less telling him that there is nothing more that he could do for him at this point. I have elevated your sibling to a higher position than you. There remained, however, a glimmer of hope for him, provided that he was able to pay the price.
…and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.
See this translation in the Message:
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. (Genesis 27:40 Message)
It is more along the lines of saying, “When you get angry or restless, you will be free!”
Some of us have become so accustomed to the trials that Jesus has saved us from that we have become comfortable with them.
You had to get some rage this morning and rip that thing off your neck in order to free yourself from the predicament in which you find yourself. There is no other option.
Lack and insufficiency will no longer exist.
No more failure.
No more delay in marriage.
No more melancholy and gloom.
No more squalid living conditions.
There will be no more shattered relationships.
How to Get Angry and Get Results in Life
How do you get angry?
1. Immerse yourself in the Word of God and compile a list of verses that affirm your victory in God.
2. Present your case before God and argue it like you would before a judge or jury so that you can be vindicated.
3. Accept who you are and refuse to be bound by the chain of iniquity.
4. Maintain a close relationship with God and with His word.
I hope that every yoke in your life is broken and cursed in the name of Jesus as I lift this prayer up for you this morning. You are liberated from everything that has been working to bind you up from this day on!
Five Ways To Prevent Regrets. I will give you a quick rundown of the top five things you should never do in a relationship.
Five Ways To Prevent Relationship Regrets
1. Refrain from becoming engaged if there is significant and persistent resistance from the family.
The blessing of one’s family is essential. The consent of one’s parents is not an outdated concept. The person you hope to spend the rest of your life with did not fall from the sky. Someone or at least two people gave birth to them. Respecting this reality is a prudent course of action.
Even as married couples, these dynamic relationships with families have to be properly balanced.
Five Ways To Prevent Regrets
2. If he cannot be held accountable, don’t go ahead.
Holding oneself accountable is an indication of meekness and humility. Someone who can converse with them and get their attention is necessary. No one truly lives on their own.
There is potential for conflict if he does not have a pastor or a mentor who watches over him.

After the wedding, continual accountability is a must for married couples.

3. If he doesn’t have a vision, you should not become engaged.
A man who is able to see where he is heading and acts accordingly is known as a man of vision. Even while he might not be aware of all the specifics, he does have an idea. That is a model of a good leader to follow.
As married couples, develop a family vision if you don’t have one. Google “Family vision” and you will get ideas.

4. Don’t get attached if he/she just broke up
Don’t rush. Wait for some time to pass. The process of healing is very significant. Don’t carry around the hurt and pain of others when you haven’t experienced it yourself.
Five Ways To Prevent Regrets
5. If there is no sign of peace, do not proceed.
This is of the utmost significance. The presence of peace is a sign of God’s favor. Don’t put on a false front or you’ll regret it later.
Don’t try to persuade your emotional self. Let there be an actual and genuine state of peace.
As married couples, ensure you don’t take a step unless you have this peace of God!
If you steer clear of all of these, I promise you that you won’t have any regrets in the name of Jesus.
Some Harsh Realities About Dating and Marriage. This devotional deals with some truths that are bitter, nevertheless they are the truth.
Some Realities About Dating and Marriage
1. Being a child of God does not automatically guarantee success in a romantic relationship or marriage.
Indeed, that is a very valid point. The fact that you are a child of God and that you have the ability to speak in tongues does not mean that you are equipped with the discernment necessary to deal with another person in your life.
You can be a child of God while at the same time being completely oblivious to the fundamentals of human interaction. This is one reason why it’s necessary to work on one’s own personal development and seek out new knowledge.
You plan to tie the knot by the end of the third quarter of this year; how many books on marriage preparation have you read?
Make the decision to better and improve yourself.
Some Realities About Dating and Marriage
2. Just because you fell in love with another person does not indicate that God led you to that person.
It’s possible to develop feelings for another person even if God has other plans for your life. It’s possible that the way you feel for that individual is not necessarily how God wants you to respond.
Yes, God can guide you in the direction of your aspirations, but you need to make sure you are being led in that direction before you allow yourself to fall in love.
Hearing God gets more challenging once feelings are involved.
Some Realities About Dating and Marriage
3. You will develop romantic feelings for whoever you spend the most time with.
It is hilarious when a woman claims that she does not like a guy, but she still hangs out with that guy. The more time you invest in a relationship with another person, the more emotionally linked you will feel to that individual.
Don’t even entertain the thought of hanging out with a married individual. It’s been designated as a ‘No Go’ zone.
I pray for you, God will favor you. His compassion will lead him to you. The spirit of procrastination is cursed. Your husband will find you and bring you back. You will eventually locate your bride.
Five Things About Your HusbandThis morning I will like to share with you five things about your husband. One of the major points of conflict in marriage is not understanding male-female differences. It is in order to study your spouse and know who you are dealing with because the Scripture even advises that we should deal with men according to knowledge.
This morning I will like to share with you five things you should do for your husband.
Five Things About Your Husband
1. Show your husband respect and defer to his authority.
Your husband is the head of your household. You are obligated to show him dignity and respect. Respect him in both public and private settings. Make it abundantly clear to everyone that you hold him in extremely high esteem.

2. Under no circumstances should you try to force your viewpoint on others.
It is best to defer to his judgment in every matter. Your husband should have the final say in any decision unless he gives you permission to proceed. Do not make any decisions unless he specifically gives you permission to do so.
3. Your husband is not your child
We are to love our husbands and correct our children, but most of the time, what we are doing is loving our children and correcting our spouses. That is not the order.
Avoid constantly correcting him and instructing him on what to do and how to carry out his actions.
4. Don’t get quiet on your husband
Don’t be such a downer. He wants his wife / future wife to be upbeat. Because men are logical, you should become skilled at expressing yourself verbally.

5. Have some fun with it
Every man has a little bit of a boy inside of him. Have some fun with him. Try not to take life so seriously all the time. The stresses of work and everything else can be relieved by playing together. Playing also improves your physical health and makes you more mentally agile.
There are three costly mistakes that every couple should try to avoid making.
I have been married for quite some time—23 years, to be exact—and I have picked up a few useful life lessons throughout that time, particularly from frequent marriage counseling sessions.
Allow me to impart some knowledge to you this morning.
Couples, Avoid These Mistakes
1. Do not tell your parents or your spouse’s parents about your spouse.
It will not go well in the end. It is impossible for anything to work out that way. It’s only normal for parents to develop an emotional attachment to their offspring. There will be partiality, and people’s feelings will be hurt.
Most of the time, you report to them when there are problems, but you fail to call them back when the problems have been resolved, which causes them to continue debating the matter and concluding on tour spouse.

The only time you should disclose something to your partner’s parents is if they are the only people your partner pays attention to. If this is not the case, you should not proceed.

2. Do not tell your coworkers or boss about things between you and your spouse.
The devil is crafty, searching for new ways to hobnob with you. If you tell a coworker or your boss that your husband has issues with you, the devil may take advantage of the situation and set you up for an emotional affair.
An emotional affair is only a few steps away from becoming an adulterous relationship.

You are going to want to avoid going down that road at all costs.

3. Do not engage in emotional manipulation of your partner.
This will have an impact on the way you pray. When your partner says or does anything that doesn’t sit well with you, your natural response is to withdraw and assume an air of superiority. That is not the path to personal development.
