"You'll live by your sword, hand-to-mouth, and you'll serve your brother. But WHEN YOU CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE YOU'LL BREAK LOOSE AND RUN FREE." Gen. 27:40 MSG
Bible Study
From the above text, it is quite clear that whatever is happening to a man or around a man can only last as long as that individual permits it.
Isaac said to his son Esau, "you'll live by your sword, hand-to-mouth (that's a very hard life for one to lead, it means that he will always be in struggles, laboring and sweating only just to feed and not to accumulate wealth nor gather riches); you'll be a servant to your brother."
With all the labors and sweats and struggles that Esau was meant to put up with, he was also to serve his younger brother Jacob, what an error!
But the thing is this; even though it's a decreed event or process that must surely be, Isaac the father gave him a way out of that shackles of slavery and servitude, shame and ignominy by rounding up with this phrase; "But WHEN you can't take it anymore..."
Sir! you're in that terrible situation up till now because you're already comfortable in it!
Madam! you're still being called "barren" because you have not made up your mind!
Sir, if only you can say like Jabez who was born in sorrow and was also named "Sorrow" but became more honorable than all his brethren because he chose to call on God "WHEN" he could no longer put up with living a sorrowful life (2 Chronicles 4:9-10).
Ma, you're still going about in shame or pain of childlessness because you're yet to make up your mind as Hannah did "WHEN" she got tired of the tauntings and consistent insults from Peninah her rival(1Sam.1:6:11).
Now let's consider our main text again from the NKJV
".....and it shall come to pass when you shall become restless, that you shall break his yoke from off your neck." Genesis 27:40b
Now the begging question is this; "When is your 'when' going to be?" When will you become "RESTLESS?" Isaac said to Esau; it SHALL come to PASS WHEN you BECOME RESTLESS."
If a man is not comfortable in a particular place or environment, he can never have rest!
I pray for you; may the spirit of RESTLESSNESS come upon you today in order to change your story in Jesus' Mighty Name! Amen!!
