Sermon Note
Pastor Prince
The Lord’s Supper is to remember the Lord’s death till He comes.
When you partake the Lord’s Supper it is always to be fresh.

Worship is giving the Lord delight.
The feast of Pentecost was celebrated yesterday.
We have come 50 days from then.
It is going to be a lifting of atmosphere.
The Law came in thundering lightning.
A rushing mighty winds and flame of fire rushed in, the holy spirit came.
His ℓσνє was rejected.
On the day of Pentecost the holy spirit came. Today we celebrate the giving of holy spirit.
The law kills but grace gives life.
We are not come to the law. We have come to the mountain of grace.

Don’t speak hopelessness.
God is telling me that My people are not walking in the fullness of the first born blessings.

Switch off your head and switch on your heart.
Faith has nothing to do with emotion. It has to do with the integrity of God
The bible calls us the church. The church is not a building.

Esau Sells His Birthright
(Heb. 12:16)
Now Jacob cooked a stew; and Esau came in from the field, and he was weary. And Esau said to Jacob, “Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am weary.” Therefore his name was called Edom.
But Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright as of this day.”
And Esau said, “Look, I am about to die; so what is this birthright to me?”
Then Jacob said, “Swear to me as of this day.”
So he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob. And Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils; then he ate and drank, arose, and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.
Birthright

Genesis 27:28-29
Therefore may God give you
Of the dew of heaven,
Of the fatness of the earth,
And plenty of grain and wine.
Let peoples serve you,
And nations bow down to you.
Be master over your brethren,
And let your mother’s sons bow down to you.
Cursed be everyone who curses you,
And blessed be those who bless you!”
Genesis 27:39-40
Then Isaac his father answered and said to him:
“Behold, your dwelling shall be of the fatness of the earth,
And of the dew of heaven from above.
By your sword you shall live,
And you shall serve your brother;
And it shall come to pass, when you become restless,
That you shall break his yoke from your neck.”
The father gave him the leftover blessings. Not the firstborn blessings. Esau despised his birthright.
Jacob had the desire and respect for birthrights and God honoured that.
