READ: Genesis 27:18-41
“…I know thee who thou art…” – Luke 4:34
A short-sighted son is someone who quickly thinks he has received all he could ever receive from his father.
A short-sighted son therefore disconnects from the umbilical cord long before he should have. He is quick to conclude that he has received everything the father has to offer.
There are many people who feel that they have received all the teachings that their father has. I have met many people who say within themselves, “I know what he teaches. I know what he has to say. I know what he does.” You may ask, “How do I know?” It is the easiest thing in the world to perceive when you are with people who think they know you and they know all about you. Remember this is what the devil said to Jesus, “… I know thee, who thou art…” (Luke 4:34). It is this line of thinking that evil spirits latch onto and inspire sons to abandon their fathers or leave the house unceremoniously.
I often notice pastors who think they know all about me. I smile to myself as they walk away with a portion they think they have received only to waste it and amount to nothing.
Sometimes a father gives a portion away but keeps some things which he intends to give at the very end. Isaac gave things to his sons at the very end of his life which he did not bother to give earlier. How immature and narrow-minded you show yourself to be when you think you have walked away with every bit of knowledge and wisdom your father has.
