    Asher, the man called "Happy" has special significance; He parallels Christians. Born with problems, but God spoke the prophecy over him that “He shall be ‘Happy.’” The same prophecy has been spoken over us!

    ASHER: THE MAN CALLED “HAPPY” Gen. 30:12-13; Deut. 33:24-25 INTRODUCTION 1. I’ve only met one man who went by the name ‘HAPPY,’ but there was a man in the Bible who had that name.
