TRACKING THE BLOODLINE OF THE BLESSING OF THE LORD ! That night, and God freely gave to Jacob THE BLESSING he'd tried and failed to get by deception. He declared over him his blood-swore inheritance; and Jacob responded--- just as Abraham and Isaac had--- by promising God the tithe. With THE BLESSING activated in his life, Jacob expected things to start looking up--- and in some ways, they did. He soon found his way safely to his Uncle Laban's house where his mother had sent him. She had decided Jacob could find a wife and lay low there until Esau cooled off and give up the idea of killing him. In part, that's what happened. Laban and his family received Jacob with joy. He married both of Laban's daughters, and ended up working on Laban's ranch for 20 years. There was just one problem, however. Laban was not a honest man. From the moment Jacob went to work for him, L hisaban begin cheating him. He made promises to Jacob and broke them. He defrauded him of his wages. But even so, THE BLESSING kept Working on Jacob's behalf. It gave him wisdom and understanding. At times, it opened his eyes to the realm of the spirit as it had the night he saw the angelic ladder. It enabled him to see what God was doing and hear His voice, so he'd knew what to do, Through it all, Jacob learned to depend on that BLESSING more and more. He learned to press into it by faith so that everything he did prospered. As his employer, Laban enjoyed the benefits of that prosperity, and as long as Jacob worked for him, he grew richer... And richer... And richer. So, when Jacob decided it was time for him to go back home, Laban tried to talk him out of it. "I have learned by experience that THE LORD has BLESSED me for your sake," he said. In his attempt to keep Jacob (and THE BLESSING that was on him) around a little longer, Laban eventually agreed to let Jacob start keeping some of the livestock for himself. After that, even Laban's trickery couldn't stop Jacob from increasing. His portion of the estate multiplied so much that Laban's sons became envious. "Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's;" they said, "and of that which was our father's hath he God in all this glory." (Wealth). Actually, Laban's sons had just as much right to THE BLESSING as Jacob. They too, were the family of Abraham. It's sad, for the most part there are some versions of Christianity, that many believers talk against the prosperity message, and God has said; that your words are stout against me. They could have said, "Jacob, if you'll teach us how to operate in THE BLESSING, we'll stop cheating you. Again many deer people of God do not know how to operate in the kingdom principles. "We'll treat you well and pay you whatever you want." They said, instead, they got mad and accused Jacob of stealing their famili's money. They were wrong, though, Jacob didn't steal anything. He just lived by faith in THE BLESSING and it kept increasing him until it absorbed everything they had. When Jacob left Laban and returned to his homeland, he went back a very wealthy man. He returned in THE BLESSING of God, no longer known as Jacob, The Deceiver, but as Israel, A Prince of God.
