When Joseph was presenting his two sons Ephraim and Manasseh to Jacob for a blessing, he tried to position Manasseh to Jacob's right hand because he was the first born and needed to be greater and he directed Ephraim the younger to Jacob's left hand.
Jacob crossed his hands and laid his right hand on Ephraim and his left hand on Manasseh.
Joseph was not happy and thought his father is making a mistake, though Jacob was half blind but he knew what he was doing.
Jacob said that both will be great but Ephraim will be greater than Manasseh, he will take the first born blessings.
wow!
If it was about being the first born and strength,
Esau would have been the father of the twelve tribes
instead of Jacob.
Reuben would have been ruling Egypt
instead of Joseph.
If it was about how you were conceived,
Adonijah would have taken David's throne
instead of Solomon born on adultery.
The list is long.
He gives assignments to us all,
He also gives us capabilities.
The question is are we available?
The lord is raising great people in this year!
whether you are minority or majority,
First born or last born,
The weak he will make them strong.
