LESSON THIRTY (30)
TOPIC: PARENTAL BLESSING
BIBLE TEXT: Genesis 27: 1-40
[1]And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, here am I.
[2]And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:
[3]Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison;
[4]And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die.
[5]And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
[6]And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,
[7]Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the LORD before my death.
[8]Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee.
[9]Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth:
[10]And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death.
[11]And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:
[12]My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.
[13]And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.
[14]And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved.
[15]And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son:
[16]And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:
[17]And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
[18]And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou, my son?
[19]And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy firstborn; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.
[20]And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought it to me……………………

INTRODLUCTION:
Long time ago in the land of Hur, God told Abraham to leave his family and move to the land of Canaan. God promised to give the whole country to Abraham and all his descendants forever. When Abraham and his wife Sarah were old, God gave them a son named Isaac. When Isaac grew up, he married a young girl named Rebecca. Isaac prayed for Rebecca to have children when she could not. Rebecca later gave birth to twin boys. Today, we are going to learn about Isaac and Rebecca’s children.
PROGRESSION OF EVENTS: Genesis 27:1-40
- The senior boy was named Esau, he grew up to be a big strong hunter and was also very hairy
- The younger boy was named Jacob and he liked to stay at home
- Isaac’s favorite son was Esau and liked to eat the food he hunted
- Rebecca loved Jacob more than Esau
GOSPEL CONNECTION: God loved Jacob more than Rebecca could ever have done because He created them both and the whole universe. God created you and me and loves us with everlasting love, Because of God’s love for us, He does not want us to perish in things that are not pleasing Him so He sent His son Jesus to take the punishment for our sins. Jesus died and was buried, and rose again on the third day so that you can have your sins forgiven (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)
- There was once Esau sold his birthright to Jacob because he was hungry and wanted to eat what Jacob cooked
- Years later, when Isaac was very old, he called Esau to hunt for and prepare him food so that he could bless him
- Rebecca heard and helped Jacob to trick Isaac by making him believe that he was Esau and ate the food he prepared
CLIMAX: Jacob pronounced blessings of prosperity and rulership over his brother over Jacob
CONCLUSION: Isaac realized that he has been tricked by Jacob but could not reverse the blessings. Esau’s blessing was to serve his brother but will be free later
CHALLENGE: Once a blessing has been pronounced, it is only God who can reverse it. For you who have already believed in Jesus as Lord and Saviour, it is very important for your parents to bless you. You should always be obedient and be attentive to your parents
instructions. Learn the ways of the Lord from them and those who have authority over you. Always do things that will make them pronounce blessings on you.
INVITATION: Believe in the Lord Jesus and be saved
