Therefore God give you of the dew of heaven , of the fatness of the earth and plenty of corn and wine, let people serve thee, let nations bow unto thee, be Lord over thy brethren and let thy mother sons bow down to thee, curseth be anyone that curseth you, blessed is those that bless you.

What is a blessing?

A blessing is a summon to all the forces in heaven, on earth and underneath the earth to assist somebody so that he can succeed.

When a blessing is pronounced on somebody, the angel in heaven, the angel on assignment on earth hear, the ground on which we are walking they hear,, and they know that that pronouncement is a summon to them that that this particular fellow you most assist to succeed.

That is why you see that someone who is blessed that he his selling water, he maybe richer than somebody selling cars; because there is a blessing behind him.

The blessed succeeds in all that he attempt in the world.

I pray tonight that every one of you who will hearken to the word of God, you will be blessed (amen).

Now a dad's blessing can determine a child's future.

In v1 when Jacob was about to die in Egypt, he summon all his children, he said come, come, come, let me tell you what will happen to you in future; and he began to bless some, he began to curse some.

A blessing from your father is an extremely powerful thing.

Isaac said to Esau, he said I have already make Jacob your Lord, because when I was blessing I said be Lord over your mother children.

So a blessing is a very powerful thing, even if it was just a residual blessing it is still very powerful.

In 37, Isaac said to Esau, he said I have already make Jacob your Lord, because when I was blessing I said be Lord over your mother children.

So a blessing is a very powerful thing, even if it was just a residual blessing it is still very powerful.

For example, in 38 - 40 after Esau kept on pressing, daddy don't you have one blessing left?

And the father said I give you the residual one.

He gave Esau the residual blessing.

But when you get to 3 - 6 the man who got the residual blessing had four hundred body guards, he prospered under the residual blessing so much that he needed 400 bodyguards to go with him wherever he goes, and you can then imagine the one who got the original blessing.

Your father's blessing is irreversible even by your father, if he has blessed you, you are blessed.

For example, in 38 - 40 after Esau kept on pressing, daddy don't you have one blessing left?

Your father's blessing is irreversible even by your father, if he has blessed you, you are blessed.

In 33 when Esau came, he said what happened father, Isaac said I have already blessed Jacob and he said he shall be blessed.

He came in by subtlety to get the blessing, but he has already gotten it there is nothing anybody can do.

There is somebody here today; nobody will be able to reverse your blessing.

So a blessing is a very precious thing, it is something that is highly desirable.

That is why Esau cried, father me my father, even me, I know somebody have come and taken the major blessing, but still bless me.

That is why I am surprise when some people come to me and I say God bless you and they still say daddy pray for me, I have given you the greatest of all prayers.

There is no prayer beyond God bless you.

Because when the man of God your spiritual father says God bless you, all the witches and wizard in the world cannot stop you.

Now precious things don't come cheap.

If something is precious, it will not be cheap; if something is cheap you can be sure it is not precious.

There are certain things in Yoruba land that if you lose, you don't get sorrowful over them.

It is because they are cheap.

Blessing are precious, they don't come cheap.

That is why if you read v1-4, that is why Isaac said to Esau, go into the bush, get a good bush meat, prepared the kind of meal that is my favorite, bring it to me, let me eat.

When I am happy, then my soul will bless you.

Blessings do not come cheap.

There are some blessings that are greetings; when your brother sees you and say God bless you; he is just greeting you.

The kind of blessings that your father will pronounce on you on his death bed is different from the one on ordinary days.

When you have made your father happy, (and I will come to that a little later),

when you have made your pastor happy,

when you have made your spiritual father happy, and he says God bless you from the bottom of his heart then you've got it made.

Not too long ago, I went to visit one of my children and he took care of me in a manner that was beyond description.

At the end when I was about to leave.

I heard myself saying, I didn't plan it, I said son, you have satisfied me completely, my God will satisfy you completely.

The way he said the "amen" was what brought me to myself and I knew it wasn't me speaking; it was the one inside of me.

Precious thing don't come cheap, (we'll talk more about that later).

when we talk about your fathers blessing, that is a great blessing, but the blessing of your spiritual father is greater than your physical father, just as the blessing of the general overseer is far, far more greater than the blessing of your pastor, but the greatest of all blessings; is the blessing from God himself,

22, he said the blessing of the Lord maketh rich and add no sorrow.

It is the blessing of the Lord that overflow.

5, he said thou anoint my cup with oil and my cup runeth over and (those of you who couldn't come you should get that tape), when the blessings come from God, they are always more than you can handle.

When he says bring all the tithe into my house, he said I will open the windows of heaven that there will not be enough room to take it.

He said when you honour me with your first fruit; he said your ban will burst.

when he said thank you to Peter, his boat was sinking with fish, when the blessing is from the Lord, when your obedience is complete, he will bless you to extent that you will say lord this is too much and

I have good news for somebody here tonight, before the end of this year, you will stand here and testify.

I know somebody who will say God please can you slow the thing down a little bit, so that I can handle the one that you have already done; when you are asking for on contract and you got ten, when you knock at one door and twelve opened.

You will say Lord thank you, but can we do it gentle.

How many of you want that kind of blessing?

Say Lord my boat is ready, send down boat sinking blessing, so shall it be in Jesus name.

important.

Now let's look at the blessing of Isaac upon Jacob one by one, he said God give thee of the dew of heaven.

James1v17tells us that heaven is the source of all blessing.

He said every good and perfect gift come from above.

Heaven is the source of all blessing, heaven has windows.

Mal.3v10,

where God said if you bring all the tithes into my house, test me thereby if I will not open the windows of heaven and there will not be enough room to receive the blessing thereby .

Heaven has windows, when the windows are opened, showers of blessings can be poured but the windows can be shut, and when the windows are shut, then there will be no rain, there will be no dew.

God said in 2chroniicle7 v13 he said if I shut the heaven so that there is no rain.

Anytime God shut the heaven, then there will be no rain, in 2king17v1, Elijah said as the Lord God of Israel liveth which I stand, he said there will be now dew or rain except at my word.

When the windows are shut and there is no rain, then rivers begin to dry up.

some of you know what I am talking about, you use to swim in rivers but then the windows were shut and there was no more rain and the river begin to dry up.

Father :  I pray today that every river that has dried up will receive new rain today in the mighty name of Jesus.

Because when the windows of heaven are shut and there is no rain, there are no showers of blessings and rivers dry up there will be a famine.

It is when the rain have stopped that people begin to borrow, it is because the rain didn't fall when it suppose to fall.

That's when people began into debt,

ii pray for you tonight, that after this night, you will never borrow again.

Now 7 says something very strange, he said God can open the window on some people and it will not rain on another, so that while it rained in one part of the city, it will leave the other part of the city.

In order words while some people are crying the city is hard nothing is moving, no business.

Some people will be saying glory be to God things are god.

Father : I pray for you today when unbelievers are saying things are hard you will say; my God is more than enough.

Now the shutting of heaven or the closing of heaven is either in the hand of God who has the keys of David, or in the hands of his prophet who has his delegated authority.

Elijah said I stand before the living God; I use his authority to decree that the heaven be shut over you Ahab.

Several people were dying of hunger but the widow of Zarephath was getting fatter and fatter.

I stand today as the representative of the Most high God, beginning from now, there will be showers of blessing of God over you.

So when his father said; may God give you of the dew of heaven, he his saying may God always give you rain in its season, in v12…

word..

In v12, he said the heaven will give you rain in its season as a result of which you will begin to lend to nations.

Whether you believe it or not, there is somebody here tonight, before nations can balance their budget, they will contact you (amen).

So when he said God give you of the dew of rain, it means you will never lack rain, it means you will never know dryness again.

I told you of someone who said; where God has brought me, I can't even stop money from coming in. he said even if I don't do any other work, money will continue to come in, I said how have you done it?

He said I have so many houses; the tenant have to pay rent, whether they like it or not, he said I can't stop money from coming in.

you see when the windows of heaven is open over you, you cannot stop rain from falling.

There is somebody here before this year is over, God will bring you to a place where you will not be able to stop blessing from coming.

2 The dew also stand for anointing if you read v 1 - 3 he says that anointing is like dew of Amon, so if he said God will give you the dew of heaven, it means God will give you anointing and the implications of that we could even spend the whole night, talking about it.
