    “Yet I have loved Jacob, but Esau I have HATED, and I have turned his mountains into a wasteland and left his inheritance to the desert jackals’” (Malachi 1:2-3 NIV - emphasis mine)

     | 7,124 views

    Don't sell your birthright, like Esau did. Don’t sell your priesthood. Don’t sell the promises of God. And don’t sell your power over sin. Instead, enjoy your inheritance rights as a child of God, and live like the king that you are!
