Your birth-right
John 1:12 But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name.
Child of God, do you know your birthright and the privileges you carry? In Genesis 25, Esau (the first born) Traded his birthright to his brother Jacob (the younger brother). The birth right of Esau the first born had rights to double inheritance and authority. It carried position but Esau was Ignorant about the birth-right, he didn't know what it meant and the privileges there of so he gave it away for a meal (temporal thing).
Same it is for many Christians today. They don't know their birth-right. Yet their enemy (the devil) knows it very well and he comes cunningly with temporal things to take it away from them through things such as food, money, marriage, relationships etc which are temporal.
The devil can take on forms through your grand parents i.e naming funny names to your children, yet as parents God has given you a right, authority and a position to change a generation. He can take on a form in your friends and it will ruin your life for God. It can be your spouse, your girlfriend and boys and after you will regret when it's too late having opened a door to the devil.
The Solution is here, get into the word of God in order to get acquainted with your birthrights in Christ. Get a revelation of them and get a hold of them. If you know and value them, you won't be careless with them.
