Hey Esau… the next time Jacob is going to meet you, I hope you are going to tell him that you have enough. You don't need it again.

Friends, it doesn't matter how you may have started life. Look at the life of Esau. He made mistakes, and he lost his birthright because of his carelessness.

The Bible records in Genesis 25:29-34 that Esau sold his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of stew. And then in Genesis 27, when he got home, his younger brother Jacob had already collected the blessing. And he went to his father, pleading, "Is there any more blessing left for me?"

And Isaac told him, "I have given everything already." However, he also said something deeper. That when you become restless, you will break this yoke.

Twenty-one years later, Jacob was returning home, and he had prepared everything he was going to give to Esau. And when they met, Genesis 33:4 says, "But Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept."

There were pleasantries. They embraced.
And Esau asked him in Genesis 33:8, "What is all this?"

And Jacob said, "I have brought you a gift. I want to bring you a blessing." Because Jacob was still thinking of the Esau he left. The one who was searching for the blessing. So he was giving him something he thought he still needed.

But Esau said to him in Genesis 33:9, "I have enough, my brother. Keep what you have for yourself."

Friend, does that feel like your life?

At some point in your life, people believed that you would never amount to much. At some point, they even told you that the only thing you can be is what you are. Nobody in your family has ever tried what you are trying to do right now. And it feels so impossible, so intimidating.

But let me tell you something.

You have to make up your mind that the next time they meet you, they will realize that something has changed.

You are no longer the woman or the man who used to beg. You are no longer the woman or the man that used to be afraid.

Something must happen in your life that alters the trajectory of your life. And it takes one right decision.

If the enemy can keep you making wrong decisions, he has captured your direction.

Let me say it again. If the enemy can keep you making wrong decisions, he has captured your direction.

And sometimes, we enable him.

Look at you. You wake up in the morning, and the first hours of your day, you are already making decisions that are working against you. At the time you should be praying and meditating on God's Word, you are on the internet, inviting millions of voices into your life.

No wonder you go through the day without strength. No wonder you don't have clarity. No wonder you feel tired. Because you have already invested the early hours of your day into something that was not meant to build you. You invited strangers into your world.

The Bible says in Psalm 5:3, "My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning I will direct it to You, and I will look up."

It takes one right decision to begin to change the trajectory of your life.

Esau left his father broken, feeling like he had lost every blessing. That there was nothing left for him in life. But the next time he met his younger brother, something had changed. Genesis 33:4 says Esau ran to meet him, embraced him, and they wept. In fact, Jacob called him "my lord" in Genesis 33:8.

And Esau told Jacob, "I don't need this again."

Now let's go to the New Testament.

When Nathanael said in John 1:46, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" that was not just a question. It was a conclusion. Because Nazareth was not known for anything significant.

And yet, the response was simple. "Come and see."

Friend, this might be your life.

Five years ago… ten years ago… even longer… someone looked at your life and concluded that nothing good could come out of you. Someone looked at your life and decided that all you can ever be is what they have already seen.

But I want to encourage you.

The next time they meet you… something must be different.

And when they ask, "Has anything good come out of you?" you may not even need to answer. Your life will answer.

But if you keep doing the same things you have been doing, they will meet the same person.

The Bible says in Romans 12:2, "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."

So this is not a message for people who want to stay normal. This is not a message for people who want to just entertain life. This is for someone who has made up their mind: "My life cannot end like this."

Are you with me?

The next time they meet you, and they ask, "Has anything good come out of you?" you won't need to argue. They will say, "Come and see what God has done."

So I want to pray for you.

I don't know what has been spoken over your life. I don't know the conclusions the enemy has made concerning you. But the next time they meet you, they will be amazed at what God has done in your life.

But listen carefully. Make up your mind today that you are going to take your life seriously.

Just because you came from a dysfunctional home does not mean dysfunction must come out of you.

Just because you were born into lack does not mean lack must come out of you.

Just because you were introduced into an environment that did not enforce faith does not mean you must live without faith.

There must be a decision.

The Bible says in Joshua 24:15, "Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve."

I made up my mind that no matter what life introduces to me, it is my responsibility to create something different.

And here is the decision I made:

I may have started life with nothing… but I will not end life with nothing.

Let me say it again. I may have started life with nothing… but I will not end life with nothing.

The Bible says in 1 Peter 5:10, "After you have suffered a while, He will perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you."

So if you feel like Esau. Like you have lost everything. Like you made mistakes. Like you lost opportunities. Like you compromised.

There is still hope for you.

The next time they meet you, you will not be the same. And when they look at your life, they will realize something has changed.

And you will be able to say: "I don't need it again. God has changed my life."

So friend, make up your mind.

Even if they once asked, "Can anything good come out of you?" the next time they meet you… they will say, "Come and see."

God bless you.
