WATCH OUT FOR THE ESAU SYNDROME (2)

in #christianity7 years ago

 

Genesis 25:29-34The Esau Syndrome is a pattern of behaviour. It is a
predictable way of doing things that produce
predictable consequences and outcomes.People suffering from the Esau Syndrome are usually blind to their great future. They are visionless and
undisciplined and because they cannot see the great future that is ahead of them, they fail to prepare for it.Esau had a plate of food and his future placed before him; he chose a plate of food (that he ate under ten
minutes) and traded away God's lifelong gift for him
(his future).About thirty-five years ago, at a Nigerian Immigration Office, someone called me by the nick name Lansuered, when I turned, it was an old classmate of mine. I asked what he was doing there, he told me he was a 'junior' staff in the Nigerian Immigration. At that time, some of the students I taught in Medical school were already Professors of Medicine. Way back, in the early 70's, this classmate of mine's father was one of the richest men in the North.The young man was not serious in school; he wasted away his opportunities and was paying for it with regrets in his later years. That is what the Esau Syndrome does. You play now only to pay later with regrets. When temporal things become more important than eternal things, you are playing with fire! It is the Esau Syndrome. Avoid it!Prayer:
Lord, deliver me from the Esau Syndrome in Jesus'
Name.
