Faith in God lives and leaves a legacy,  

A child of God should have vision beyond what the eyes can see,  

Thou shalt not worry about how the future shall be,  

Place your life in God’s hands and see how beautiful it will turn out to be.  

Living a legacy is all about giving,  

John Maxwell says giving is the highest form of living,  

When you give, blessings in your life you are weaving, 

Because giving is more blessed than receiving.  

Faith in God is hoping for a brighter future,  

Believe that God who loves you wants to make you a great shujaa,  

Your future will be sweeter than honey and sugar,  

The faith that looks into the future makes you a sharpshooter.  

Bless your children and all that you love,  

God will make these blessings come true like rain from up above,  

God’s Word shall not return to Him void,  

Trust in God’s Word and all other words avoid.  

Hebrews 11:20 (KJV) – “By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.” 

Isaac blessed his sons Jacob and Esau. These were the blessings given to them: 

Blessing of Jacob 

Genesis 27:28-29 (KJ21) – “²⁸ Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine. ²⁹ Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee. Be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother’s sons bow down to thee. Cursed be everyone that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.” 

Isaac blessed Jacob with the following blessings: the dew of heaven, the fatness of the earth, plenty of corn and wine, many servants and nations to bow before him. These were both spiritual and material blessings.  

Many well-intentioned Christians will pray for you to receive blessings such as a good family, a good marriage, a job to get you by and getting closer to God. Rarely will they pray for you to get great material wealth because they are deceived that abundance in material wealth is sinful. Some might even pray that you do not make much in material wealth.  

Isaac did not shy off from proclaiming great material wealth to his son Jacob. He blessed him with the dew of heaven and the fatness of the earth. Heaven is above while the earth is below. Heaven is vertical while earth is horizontal. Therefore, we can say that Isaac proclaimed blessings to come to Jacob from all directions.  

When rain pours down, there is no guarantee that the rain will surely cause plants to grow. In many instances, it does, but not always. Isaac blessed Jacob for heaven to shine blessings upon him and to receive the results of those blessings (the fatness of the earth).  

Some people have blessings proclaimed on them, but they never receive the fruits of those blessings. For example, when someone prays for you to succeed in your business, you need to have opened a business. When someone prays for you to succeed in getting more customers, you need to be selling something. Your faith is revealed in action.  

Isaac blessed Jacob to have plenty of corn and wine. Corn (grain) and wine were staple products, essential for survival and well-being. This part of the blessing ensures that Jacob would have a continuous and abundant supply of food and drink.  

Food and drink are basic needs, others being shelter and clothing. Therefore, we can also say that Jacob would have a plentiful supply of basic needs. It is not wrong to have food in abundance. It is not wrong to have clothes in abundance and it is not wrong to have many houses. In fact, it is better to have everything in abundance than in scarcity, especially if one is using them for God’s glory.  

Isaac blessed Jacob with political and social blessings. “Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee.” This indicates a position of authority and power. The blessing suggests that Jacob and his descendants will be leaders, with other people and nations recognizing their dominance and submitting to them. It speaks to a future where Jacob’s lineage would hold significant influence over other nations, possibly foreshadowing the emergence of the nation of Israel and its prominence. 

“Be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother’s sons bow down to thee.” This part of the blessing refers specifically to Jacob’s relationship with his brother Esau and possibly the broader family. Despite being the younger sibling, Jacob is granted superiority over Esau. It reflects the reversal of the typical order of inheritance, where the older son would normally hold a higher position. The mention of “thy mother’s sons” emphasizes the division between Jacob and Esau, confirming Jacob’s preeminence within the family. 

The leadership mantle given to Jacob by his father Isaac was not to merely exercise authority and have ‘fun’ trampling over people. It was to have a righteous influence among people. God desired that through the influence of Jacob many nations would be drawn to Him. This is the blessing that God Himself gave Abraham in Genesis 12:1-3, when He promised that through Abraham, all nations of the earth will be blessed.  

God desires that His children (Christians) to be the leaders in whatever field that they are in so that people in those fields can be drawn to Him. For example, Dr. Ben Carson is a Christian leader in the field of medicine and neurosurgery. Through his stupendous influence, many people have converted to Christianity.  

Isaac blessed Jacob with divine protection. “Cursed be everyone that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.” This part of the blessing provides divine protection and favor. It implies that anyone who opposes or harms Jacob will themselves be cursed, while those who treat him well will be blessed. This is not just true for Jacob alone, but it is true for all genuine Christians. Whoever does good to a servant of God receives abundant blessings, but whoever does evil to them receives curses in abundance. Many people have welcomed calamity in their lives because of disrespecting people of God.  

This echoes the covenant God made with Abraham (Jacob’s grandfather) in Genesis 12:3, where God promised to bless those who bless Abraham’s descendants and curse those who curse them. This places Jacob under God’s special protection and favor, ensuring that his enemies will not prevail against him. 

Blessing of Esau 

Genesis 27:39-40 (AMP) – “³⁹ Then Isaac his father answered and [prophesied and] said to him, “Your dwelling shall be away from the fertility of the earth And away from the dew of heaven above; ⁴⁰ 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].” 

Wherever Esau shall dwell there will be the fatness of the earth and the dew of heaven from above. The blessing given to Esau of the dew of heaven and the fatness of the earth was closely like that of Jacob but not the same. At first glance, Esau’s blessing might seem similar to the blessing given to Jacob, but the context suggests it is not a promise of abundant prosperity like Jacob’s.  

Instead, this may imply that Esau’s descendants will live in regions that are harsh and arid, yet they will still find ways to survive. The “fatness” and “dew” may be sparse, meaning that while they will have some resources. However, they will not enjoy the same level of abundance as Jacob’s descendants.  

Some interpretations suggest that this refers to Esau’s future dwelling in Edom, a mountainous region that was less fertile than the lands promised to Jacob but still provided some sustenance. God’s resources are unlimited. There is room for everyone to have material/financial prosperity. Everyone can be rich. Envying someone because of his material possessions is lack of understanding.  

John 14:1-3 (KJ21) – “¹ Let not your heart be troubled. Ye believe in God; believe also in Me. ² In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. ³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto Myself, that where I am, there ye may be also.” 

Jesus tells us that there are many mansions in His Father’s house. He does not say houses. He says mansions. In simpler terms, a mansion refers to a very big house. What is recognized as a mansion in a small village cannot be recognized as a mansion in a metropolitan city. What is recognized as a mansion in a third world country cannot be recognized as a mansion in a place like Beverly Hills or Malibu or Bel Air. What is recognized as a mansion in those three mentioned places in America is nothing when compared to the mansions prepared by the One whose mind is as high as heaven is from earth.  

So, we can be sure that the heavenly mansions prepared by God for us are infinitely greater, more beautiful and larger than all magnificent buildings that have been built by human beings. The God of abundance doesn’t talk about one mansion or countable mansions. Instead, He mentions many mansions. How many? Very many to fit everyone that God has ever created and has not yet created.  

Another example of God’s abundance was Noah’s ark. Noah’s ark was extremely huge, but Noah and his family were the only people who got in. God had desired that other people should get in, that is why the ark was so huge. But they did not. I hope we won’t have the same case when Christ comes back for us the second time.   

God has more than enough for each one of us. There is no need to feel jealous of your neighbor, no need to covet, no need to steal and no need to use scrupulous means to get what your heart desires.  

Genesis 27:38 (AMP) – “Esau said to his father, “Have you only one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, O my father.” Then Esau [no longer able to restrain himself] raised his voice and wept [loudly].” 

After Jacob tricked Esau and took away his blessing, Esau asked Isaac to bless him, but Isaac told him that he was not able to as Jacob had taken away his blessing (Genesis 27:35). Many negative things are often said about Esau but let us give him his due for one good trait. Esau did not give up. Instead, he asked his father if he was left with at least one blessing (Genesis 27:38). This is a powerful lesson of persistence. Milk the cow after you have milked the last drop.  

Esau might have gotten his trait of persistence in the field as he was a hunter. While hunting, it is not always easy to catch prey. You must be persistent in your hunting efforts. Apply this principle to every good thing you do, and you will be blessed beyond your wildest dreams. Esau’s efforts bore some fruit. Some fruit is better than no fruit. Myron Golden says, “Little profit is better than no profit.”  

“Fatness of the earth and dew of heaven.” At first glance, this might seem like the blessing given to Jacob, but the context suggests it is not a promise of abundant prosperity like Jacob’s. Instead, this may imply that Esau’s descendants will live in regions that are harsh and arid, yet they will still find ways to survive. The “fatness” and “dew” may be sparse, meaning that while they will have some resources, they will not enjoy the same level of abundance as Jacob’s descendants. Some interpretations suggest that this refers to Esau’s future dwelling in Edom, a mountainous region that was less fertile than the lands promised to Jacob but still provided some sustenance. 

“And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother;” By thy sword shalt thou live: This indicates that Esau and his descendants will lead a life characterized by conflict and warfare. They will need to rely on their strength and military prowess to survive, often having to fight for their existence and resources. This reflects a life of struggle, where peace and prosperity are not attained easily. 

Isaac told Esau that he will serve his brother. This part of the blessing confirms the prophecy that Esau (and his descendants, the Edomites) will be subordinate to Jacob (and his descendants, the Israelites). Historically, this played out as the Israelites often dominated the Edomites. The phrase reflects the reversal of the expected order, where the older son (Esau) would typically rule over the younger (Jacob), but instead, the opposite occurs. 

“And it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.” This suggests that there will come a time when Esau’s descendants gain temporary independence from Jacob’s descendants. Although they will serve Jacob, there will be moments when they will successfully rebel and assert their freedom.  

God is fair. He rarely subjects those who rebel against Him to eternal doom unless they prove to be consistently stiff-necked. God might punish you now but ends up blessing you the next minute. Time and chance happen to everyone (Ecclesiastes 9:11). God gives everyone time and chance including the sinners. So, no one can have an excuse and say that God has never shown him love.  

The Edom nation, descended from Esau. It is deeply connected to the blessing Esau received from Isaac in Genesis 27:39-40. This blessing outlined both the future struggles and occasional triumphs of Esau’s descendants. Esau settled in the region of Seir, south of the Dead Sea, which later became known as Edom (Genesis 36:8). This mountainous region was less fertile compared to the land of Canaan but provided enough resources for Esau’s descendants to establish themselves. The Edomites became a significant group, often mentioned in the Old Testament. They were known for their skill in warfare, as foreshadowed by Isaac’s words: “By thy sword shalt thou live.” 

During the period of the Kings of Israel, Edom was often a thorn in the side of the Israelites. They gained strength and even dominated trade routes, including the King’s Highway, which was crucial for commerce in the region. The Edomites at times asserted their independence, successfully rebelling against Israelite control. For instance, during the reign of King Jehoram of Judah, Edom revolted and established its own king, breaking free from Judah’s control (2 Kings 8:20-22). This reflects the part of Esau’s blessing where it was said that Esau’s descendants would eventually “break his yoke from off thy neck.” 

Despite periods of independence, Edom was often subjected to Israelite control. For instance, King David conquered Edom and placed garrisons throughout the land, subjugating the Edomites under Israelite rule (2 Samuel 8:13-14). The prophet Obadiah prophesied the downfall of Edom due to their pride and their betrayal of Israel during times of distress (Obadiah 1:1-4). This prophecy aligns with the historical decline of Edom as they were repeatedly defeated by neighboring powers. 

During the Babylonian conquest of Judah in 586 BC, Edom allied with Babylon against Judah. However, this alliance did not bring lasting success to Edom. The Edomites were later conquered by the Nabateans, who forced them to move from their homeland to southern Judah. 

By the time of the New Testament, the Edomites, now known as Idumeans, had largely lost their national identity and were absorbed into other cultures. Herod the Great, an Idumean, ruled Judea as a client king under Roman authority, but this was a far cry from the independence and power they once had. 

Edom eventually disappeared as a distinct entity. After the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70 by the Romans. The Jewish population assimilated the Edomite remnants and other surrounding cultures, effectively ending Edom as a separate nation. God lifted Edom but through the course of their actions (their pride), they brought their own downfall.  

“Break his yoke from off thy neck.” A yoke symbolizes subjugation and control. The promise here is that Esau’s descendants will not remain perpetually under Jacob’s control. There will be times when they throw off this “yoke” and assert their independence. Historically, this occurred when the Edomites revolted against Israelite rule during periods of Israel’s weakness. 

Isaac’s blessing to Esau reflects a mixed future. While Esau’s descendants will survive and even experience periods of independence and prosperity, their lives will be marked by struggle, conflict, and a subservient relationship to Jacob’s descendants. The blessing lacks the permanence and comprehensive favor granted to Jacob and emphasizes the hardships that Esau and his lineage will endure. 

This blessing highlights the consequences of Jacob’s earlier deception and the fulfillment of God’s earlier prophecy to Rebekah that “the elder shall serve the younger” (Genesis 25:23). However, it also offers Esau a measure of hope that his people will not always stay under Jacob’s control and will eventually find moments of freedom and self-determination. 

Jacob and Esau were the sons of Isaac. Isaac proclaimed blessings upon their lives concerning future things. Faith is being mindful of the future, not just of the present. Isaac knew that Jacob and Esau would enjoy most of those blessings after he is dead, but he still went ahead and blessed them. True faith in God requires one to look beyond his lifetime. Looking beyond one’s lifetime is an integral step in leaving a legacy. The legacy that one should leave is not one that is aimed at elevating oneself but one that elevates God.  

In his sermon, “The righteousness of thinking big,” Bishop Wayne Malcolm talks about thinking generational. He says that thinking generational is one of the three major facets of thinking big. The others are: Thinking gigantic and thinking global. As servants of God, we should think generational in whatever God calls us to do.  

Some of the problems we are facing now are because our parents, grandparents and ancestors did not think about the future. They were only concerned with ‘at the moment’ things. Some of our ancestors might have married many wives and failed to plan well. So, after they died family conflicts started happening. Others got involved in alcoholism and spent all the money they had on alcohol. This behavior often leaves the family in a state of destitution.  

Other people worked good jobs, earned a decent income but did not fully pursue their purpose. As a result, their families are not as financially free as they ought to be. Look at people who started businesses and pursued their purposes in whatever area in life, their families are very comfortable across the generations. If your father, your grandfather, your great grandfather, and your other ancestors did not think generationally, do not blame them. Take the initiative now and start thinking generationally.  

Start making decisions that will not only impact you but will impact future generations. Not just future generations from your bloodline but future generations from the entire world. If you are speaking and writing, communicate a message that will be relevant to future generations.  

If you want to address a current issue, make sure in that message there is something that future generations will relate to. The same thing with music. Look at how timeless hymns and classical music are. Make music that is timeless. In your business, make products that are timeless and always be innovating, adopting the latest technologies.  

Blessing of the Sons of Joseph 

Hebrews 11:21 (KJV) – “By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.” 

Proverbs 13:22 (KJV) – “A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.”  

Jacob followed his father’s example and blessed his children too. When your earthly parent leaves an inheritance for you, make sure you leave an inheritance for your children. Even if they don’t leave an inheritance, leave an inheritance for your children. 

Tangible/material wealth is amazing, and God created it for our physical sustenance. However, the greatest inheritance and the best gift that a person can give someone are spiritual blessings. Material gifts can run out of supply while spiritual gifts can never run out of supply. Spiritual blessings bring material blessings, but material blessings cannot buy spiritual blessings.  

It is important for fathers and mothers to create time to share with their children the Word of God. Such inheritance is higher and better than physical property. It will be of no use to give your children physical property that they cannot manage because they are not well grounded in God’s Word. However, when you teach them God’s Word, they will be able to get other material goods when calamity happens to the ones you had left them with.  

Isaac was rich in material goods, but he gave his sons Jacob and Esau spiritual blessings. Jacob was rich in material goods, but he gave his sons spiritual blessings. These patriarchs might have left their vast material possessions to their children, but the Bible does not emphasize on them the way it emphasizes on spiritual blessings. This is because spiritual blessings are higher.  

Jacob gave his sons various blessings and cursed some of them, mentioning each of them by name in Genesis 49. God deals with us the same way. He places us in communities and families, but He deals with us as individuals. Though the firstborn, Reuben’s instability and past sin prevent him from excelling (Genesis 49:3-4). Simeon and Levi were condemned for their violent nature, and their descendants would be scattered in Israel (Genesis 49:5-7). 

Judah received a blessing of leadership and strength. His descendants would produce kings, and eventually, the Messiah (Genesis 49:8-12). Zebulun would dwell near the sea and be a haven for ships (Genesis 49:13). Issachar was described as a strong worker. Issachar would submit to forced labor, possibly due to the attractiveness of the land (Genesis 49:14-15). 

Dan would be a judge among Israel, but also a serpent, symbolizing treachery and guerrilla warfare (Genesis 49:16-18). Gad would face attacks but will ultimately overcome his enemies (Genesis 49:19). Asher would enjoy prosperity, producing rich food fit for royalty (Genesis 49:20). Naphtali was compared to a free deer, symbolizing eloquence and swiftness (Genesis 49:21). 

Joseph was abundantly blessed with strength and favor from God, surpassing his brothers in blessing (Genesis 49:22-26). Benjamin was likened to a ravenous wolf, signifying his descendants’ warlike and victorious nature (Genesis 49:27). Each blessing reflects the future character and fate of the tribes that would descend from these sons of Jacob. 

Hebrews 11:22 (KJV) – “By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.” 

Let us go to where the story of Joseph giving a commandment concerning his bones is: 

Genesis 50:22-25 (KJ21) – “²² And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he and his father’s house; and Joseph lived a hundred and ten years. ²³ And Joseph saw Ephraim’s children of the third generation. The children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph’s knees. ²⁴ And Joseph said unto his brethren, “I die; and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which He swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.” ²⁵ And Joseph took an oath from the children of Israel, saying, “God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.” 

Joseph went to Egypt when he was a young child. He went to Egypt when he was below eighteen years old (Genesis 37:2, Genesis 41:46). He became second in command in Egypt after Pharaoh when he was thirty years old (Genesis 41:46). He got a wife from Egypt and married in Egypt. He got his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren in Egypt.  He lived and died in Egypt at the age of 110.  

He had more beautiful experiences in Egypt than he had in Canaan his homeland. All this shows that chances were very high that his connection with the land and the people of Egypt was stronger than that which he had with his people and his original land. Lots of people from third-world countries are not willing to go back to their homes when they experience greener pastures in countries that are better than theirs.  

Joseph understood that the place he was in despite the greener pastures and the exaltation he received was not his home. A spiritual lesson to Christians. Christians should learn that no matter the number of good things that this world offers them, no matter the exaltation that they gain from this world, this world is not their home. This world is not our home. We are just passing by.  

Joseph looked into the future and blessed his lineage. He looked into the future and prophesied freedom to the Israelites, assuring them that God will deliver them. He also looked into the future and told them to carry his bones out of Egypt because he understood that Egypt was not his home. Faith in God looks into the future. Faith in God seeks a better home, a heavenly one.  

Was Joseph’s command obeyed? 

Exodus 13:19 (KJV) – “And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.” 

Joseph died at the age of 110 (Genesis 50:26). The Israelites were in Egypt for 430 years before the Exodus (Exodus 12:40-41). Moses was 80 years old at the time of the Exodus (Exodus 7:7). If the Israelites were in Egypt for 430 years and Moses was 80 at the time of the Exodus, this means Moses was born 350 years after the Israelites first entered Egypt (430 – 80 = 350). Joseph died at 110 years old, and the remaining years (430 years total – 110 years of Joseph’s life = 320 years), minus Moses’ age at the time of the Exodus, gives us 64 years. Thus, Moses was born approximately 64 years after Joseph died. 

While leading the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, Moses obeyed Joseph’s command and carried his bones. Most of us are afraid of viewing dead bodies, let alone touching them. Moses went out of his way to pick up the dead body of a man who had died many years ago before he was born and carried it. It is like a person born in 1997 going to look for the dead bones of a person born in 1933 and carrying them.  

Moses might have felt uncomfortable doing that but his respect for the patriarch caused him to disregard his feelings. Your love for the men and women of God should go beyond your feelings. You should be willing to do the best for them even when you don’t want to.  

As we have seen, Moses was born around 64 years after Joseph had died. So, we can conclude that Moses did not know Joseph physically. Neither did Joseph know Moses. The question is, how did Moses know that Joseph had said that? Moses knew that Joseph had said that through the learning of truthful historical events. Take as much time as possible to learn the truth because it is truth that makes you free. When you learn the truth and abide by it, you will live in freedom, peace and harmony because it is truth that sustains you.  

Ecclesiastes 9:5 (KJV) – “For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.”  

Ecclesiastes 9:10 (KJV) – “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.”  

Joseph had no idea whether the Israelites would obey him and carry his bones or not because the dead know nothing. This did not stop him from giving them the command. As a teacher or a preacher of the Word of God, it should not be your business to worry whether the people will obey the Word of God that you are teaching them or not. Your job is to teach. Teach and let the Holy Spirit do His work of transformation.  

Think of the Future 

As a parent, give instructions to your children with faith that they will obey those instructions. As a parent, bless your children and have faith that those blessings will one day fall upon them. When I was around five years old, my dad told me that I would be an engineer. Years later, I was given a scholarship to study a Masters of Science degree in Mechatronical Engineering from Obuda University in Budapest, Hungary.  

When I was around eleven years old (in grade 6 or class 6), my class teacher from Laiser Hill Academy, Mr. Kimeu, prophesied that I would be a Managing Director. At that time, I did not take him seriously for I did not know how it would happen. Years later I started my own company Real Biz Digital and gave myself the title Executive Director. One of my business mentors advised me and told me to drop the title Executive Director because Executive Director is used for non-profit companies and instead take the title Managing Director. That is how I ended up being the Managing Director of Real Biz Digital.  

“This Child Will be Great.” That is the autobiographical book for Liberia’s and Africa’s first female president, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. In that book she states that when she was born a villager (most likely a stranger) passed by her house while the newborn baby was being celebrated and said, “This child will be great.” She ended up being the first African female president in Africa and while writing her autobiography book she called it, “This Child Will Be Great: Memoir of a Remarkable Life by Africa’s First Woman President.”  

Speak blessings into your life and into the lives of others. Also be as kind to as many people as you can. If you do that and they end up hating you or underrating you, God will punish them and bless you. Such are the ones that God will set a table for you before them. On the other hand, some may end up blessing you because of the kind acts that you have done to them.  

Some may be pleased with you but may not even pray for you because they are not prayerful people. Even if they do not pray for you, things will go well in your life because they are pleased because of the righteous things that you did to them. Reuben missed his father’s blessings because of doing evil to his father. Esau missed his father’s blessings because of not keeping time. Always be grabbing opportunities for the future and look into the future because faith in God looks into the future and leaves a legacy.   

GOD BLESS YOU! 

Prayer 

Dear God, we come before You placing our lives in Your divine hands. Bless my future, the future of my family members and the future of all my loved ones superabundantly. Give us the proper direction to do what is right in your sight. In Jesus name, Amen.
