TOPIC: Going Up By Choice (Seeds Of Destiny 5 June 2026)
SCRIPTURE: And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom. And Jacob said, “Sell me this day thy birthright.” And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me? And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob. Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright. Genesis 25:30-34
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Every position on earth is changeable by the force of decision.
Seeds Of Destiny For Today 2026 MESSAGE
Our anchor Scripture presents an interesting story, the story of two twin brothers, Esau and Jacob. Esau was born first, and Jacob was born last. However, Jacob became the first by choice. Jacob went up by choice.
Now, here was what happened: Esau sold his birthright to Jacob in exchange for a pottage of lentils, thereby losing his position as the firstborn. Every position on earth is changeable by the force of decision. Anywhere you find yourself on earth can be changed.
Think about this: one of the most permanent things on earth is the position of birth. Being a first-born or second-born is a fixed position, but Jacob changed his second-born status and became the first-born by a decision.

If a second-born can become the first-born by a decision, there is nothing the right decision can not make you become.
But think about it, how valid was the agreement between Jacob and Esau? The validity of it was evident when Isaac blessed his children. He may not have been aware of the situation, so he called Esau, his firstborn, to receive the firstborn’s blessing, but heaven already recorded the earlier transaction, and God honoured it. Even though Jacob lied and said he was Esau, the blessing still landed on him. The blessing landed on Jacob because even in eternity, it was recorded that their birth positions had changed.
While people thought Jacob lied, God upheld the validity of the transaction and agreement that gave Jacob the firstborn position. Esau was no longer qualified for the firstborn’s blessing, having traded it for food. Thus, God was not approving a lie; He was only validating a transaction of choice or decision.
Some people may wonder why someone is where they are. It is all a matter of choice. I made my choices long ago to be a blessing to my generation and beyond.
While growing up, I chose to be different. My father was a man of means, owning brand-new luxury buses and lorries that generated good money weekly.
As a child, I decided never to partake in the sharing of my father’s properties when the time came. I knew I would have too much of my own to think about my father’s resources. I made that decision at a young age. I decided that the top position was where I would be.
Beloved, what choice have you made before, and what choice are you making today? Remember that a life left to chance has no chance. When you leave your life to chance, you have no chance. Nothing can be against a man who is not against himself. If you are not against yourself, nothing can be against you.
The natural position of Jacob’s birth could not work against him since he decided to change it and become the first.
Beloved, what defines you? What do your choices reflect, the moment or the future?
REMEMBER THIS: Every position on earth is changeable by the force of decision.
ASSIGNMENT(S):
- Make up your mind to go up against all odds.
- Never allow your background to stand on your way to the top.
PRAYER: Father, thank You for showing me the power of choice. I receive the grace to make the right choice so I can enter the higher place You have called me into, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
