when pastor pronounced the blessing of Jacob over me yesterday, i didn't know it was going to hit me so soon. truly, this is going to be the best term yet! (let's not start about the following term! that's gonna surpass this!)

The blessing of Jacob (Gen 27:28-29)

v28: Therefore may God give you of the dew of heaven (favour), of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and wine (material blessings).

v29: 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!

indeed, when pastor shared about that testimony of someone cursing another pastor and getting crushed under a load of timber, cursed be everyone who curses you. today, it has come full circle and i've watched Daddy God protect me. i've never wanted this to happen, but i am in awe of Daddy who watches over me 24/7 (now i see a new light of it!) and He really does defend me.

as i was reading Psalm 108 for the year, the H.S. impressed on me to check up the Hebrew for v8-9.

v8: Gilead (witness) is Mine; Manasseh (causing to forget) is mine; Ephraim (I shall be doubly fruitful) also is the helmet for My head; Judah (praise) is My lawgiver.

v9: Moab (of my Father) is My washpot (to wash); over Edom (blood) I will cast My shoe; over Philistia (mourning) I will triumph.

and this is what i picked up.

in the year 2008,

the H.S. will witness to me the goodness, grace, mercy and love of my Daddy (Gilead)
...and witness (remind) to me that He remembers my sins no more (i.e. i am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus!) (Manasseh)
guarding my heart -> and He guards my head with thoughts and reminders that i shall be doubly fruitful this year (Ephraim)
and the thing to do? PRAISE HIM ALL THE TIME! (Judah)
everyday, to remember that i am my Father's (Moab is my washpot)
i am covered in the blood of Jesus everywhere i go (Edom)
whatever mournings, whatever the devil tries to bring against me to make me despair, I WILL TRIUMPH. (Philistia)

awesome stuff! :D
