We spoke here about the value of Jacob's gift to his brother ( click this link ) and also how he was afraid when his brother was about to attack him that he divided two groups in case of an attack one could escape ( click this link to read) but there is something i noticed that can really show what a sacrifice Jacob had to make to become a new man.
"And he arose that night and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the ford of Jabbok.
He took them, sent them over the brook, and sent over what he had." Genesis 32:22,23 NKJV
He had divided them in two groups, and sent gifts to his brother but he kept with him the group that was most important to him, the wives, two female servants and his eleven sons and some other things he had.
And this is one of the main reasons why many people are not blessed in a campaign, they are willing to let go of the gift and even to divide what they have but they are not willing to let go of the most important things, their all and to depend on God totally.
Eventually Jacob did and God appeared to him and changed his life.
What about you, what are you holding on to in these life?
The sacrifice says:
"If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple" Luke 14:26 NKJV
