i. Spiritually speaking, many today despise their birthright. Ephesians 1:3-14 shows us a treasury of riches that are ours by birthright in Jesus:
· Every spiritual blessing
· The blessing of being chosen in Jesus
· Adoption into God’s family
· Complete acceptance by God in Jesus
· Redemption from our slavery to sin
· True and total forgiveness
· The riches of God’s grace
· The revelation and knowledge of the mystery of God’s will
· An eternal inheritance
· The guarantee of the indwelling Holy Spirit
Far too many neglect or trade away this birthright for cheap entertainment, momentary popularity, or passing pleasures.
Esau’s had a character as a fornicator and profane person (according to Hebrews 12:16).
Hebrews 12:16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
Father, where have I committed spiritual fornication or profanity by accepting something natural or temporal for my spiritual new birthright? Please forgive me. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Bless my job, my businesses with your favor.
Bless my city, my state, my country with your favor.
