DON'T SELL-OFF
Here was a destiny the God of the whole earth had created more honorable than his brothers and yet in a moment of conniving between mother and a momentary situation, he was named Jabez. What a sell-off.
What would a mighty man of valour be doing, grinding corn in hiding if not that anti-destiny forces are acting out a script. Gideon didn't wake up from that slumber until he had an encounter with an angel. What a sell-off.
They never fully understood the hand that was upon the young man because he was born out of wedlock. So they drove him out and said, "You’re not getting any of our family inheritance—you’re the son of another woman”(Jos 11:2). What a sell-off. What's a family compared to the whole nation. Hmmm
Chin up, look straight and listen to me. Who and what has sold you off? What circumstances around you are trading you off for less than your real worth? Are you beginning to agree with the conditions? DON'T SELL-OFF.
Jabez had a city named after him(1Chro 2), Gideon went on to become a deliverer(Judges 6:16) and of course Jephthah was not left out(Judges 11:6-8), he became their head.
Is it not written in the Bible, "Be not conformed to this world" and haven't you come across this: "say ye not a confederacy to all them to whom this people shall say a confederacy? In summary, DON'T SELL-OFF.
The end of a matter is better than the beginning thereof. You aren't at the end yet, it's just a bend. A coma is not the end of a sentence. Hold on, don't give up just yet.
Kabaya...Esau gave up too easily by selling off his birthright for a passing hunger and wept bitterly in his bid to recover.
Ayayayayaya...Colorful and it's bright, I must get there. My future is bright and I must get there.
"Tongues rolling"... I WILL NOT AND I SHALL NOT SELL-OFF in Jesus mighty name, Amen. Hallelujah. It's a new day.
