[Genesis 27:25-29 KJV] “And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine, and he drank”.

[26] “And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son. [27] And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the Lord hath blessed: [28] Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine: [29] Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother’s sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee”.

I want to speak to you today about commanding your father’s blessings. The Bible tells us that the blessings of the Lord makes rich and adds no sorrows. Without a doubt, there is a supernatural element to becoming rich. It is the blessing of the Lord that makes a man rich. These blessings come in many forms but the most important is your father’s goodwill.

Every father and authority figure has a blessing that you can inherit. Rebecca knew this and she would not take chances at all. Many destinies have been derailed because they profaned their father’s honour. We read from the word that Isaac asked his son to do things that gladden his soul, that his soul may bless him. Both sons prepared him food. They honoured him with a meal. They honoured him as a father and he blessed the one who came first. A blessing may look very insignificant to this present generation, but to have your father bless you is one of the key things that can change your life forever.

The man Isaac blessed his son with;

1. The dew of Heaven
2. The fatness of the Earth
3. Plenty of corn and wine
4. People serving him
5. Nations bowing to him
6. His brethren bowing to him
7. Curses upon those who curse him and blessings upon those who bless him

These are the seven blessings we are going to believe for. We are trusting that the Lord shall pour this and many more blessings upon us as a father would pour upon his son. I pray that we shall honour the Lord with substance and venison. I pay that the soul of the Lord shall bless us bountifully.

If you want to understand the importance of the father’s blessing, ask yourself why God would raise up John the Baptist with a sole assignment to turn the hearts of fathers to sons and sons to the fathers. This father-to-progeny connection is so important for the transfer of generational blessings. In the same way that generational curses could be transferred, generational blessings can also be transferred.

I pray that as we wait on God, you will repent and begin to seek your father’s blessing. There is a blessing that can be transferred from fathers to progeny, through bloodline, spiritual connection, or through covenants. I pray that the wisdom to act speedily shall come upon you, you shall not miss your father’s blessings. I pray that your father shall pronounce blessings over you. The dew of heaven, the fatness of the earth, and the abundance of corn and wine.

What did Jacob do? He served his father. He served him;

1. Venison to eat
2. Wine to drink
3. Came near and kissed him.

What have you prepared for your father to eat? When your name pops up what does your father think? In many religions and culture venison or meal of deer or stag is sacred. The deer or stag or hind is seen as the messenger of spirits and swift. What meal have you prepared for your father? Does it satisfy his souls?

What have you offered your father to drink? What wine did you serve him? Have you served me wine or vinegar? What is this that you have done? Did you mean to serve me wine or vinegar? Many sons and daughters serve bile and bitter leaves to their fathers. Their foolishness is the source of pain to fathers.

Have you kissed your father lately? Does he know the smell of your body? What does he think when he smells your body? Was it a kiss of Judas or for the kiss of Delilah or the kiss of life?

I pray that this season will open the doors for fatherly blessings to flow.

Be blessed, I love you!
