TOPIC: Avoiding The Pitfalls Of Reuben (Seeds Of Destiny 7 March 2024)
SCRIPTURE: Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power: Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed; then defiled thou it: he went up to my couch. Genesis 49:3-4.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: When you see a person with a sense of the future, he disciplines himself to arrive at that future.
Seeds Of Destiny For Today 2023 MESSAGE:
It has been established that nothing is possible until someone is responsible. Responsibility is vital to possibility in life and destiny. When people are not accountable, they cannot see the possibility in life.
Scripture teaches that one of Reuben’s pitfalls was his lack of responsibility. Reuben lived a life of irresponsibility, which led him to sleep with his father’s wife.
In the same manner, it is irresponsible for a mature man already in his 40s to be carrying girls up and down. At this age, he is still living a reckless life instead of being settled in marriage. That is irresponsibility.

An irresponsible man has no voice. When Joseph’s brothers were selling Joseph out, Reuben, being the eldest son of Jacob, should have stopped them, but because he was irresponsible, he had no voice. He could not talk to his brothers to spare Joseph. He was the firstborn, but his destiny was limited because he had no godly character.
Apart from his life of irresponsibility, another character flaw of Reuben was his lack of sense of destiny and the future.
Reuben could not see a future in his life. He did not see that Abraham gave “something” to Isaac; Isaac gave “something” to Jacob. He did not think Jacob could give him the “something” he (Jacob) collected from his father. He had no sense of the future.
When you see a person with a sense of the future, he disciplines himself to arrive at that future. People who see their future live right to arrive at that future. But people who are careless and blind about their future live recklessly without discipline. Vision imparts to you a sense of consecration discipline. Vision makes you live right.
May the Lord open your eyes to see your future so you can live in Jesus’ Name.
REMEMBER THIS: When you see a person with a sense of the future, he disciplines himself to arrive at that future.
ASSIGNMENTS:
- Refuse to live without taking responsibility. Take responsibility for your life and destiny.
- Live with a sense of the future and destiny. Make up your mind to live right.
PRAYER: Lord, I ask that You impart me afresh with a sense of future and destiny. Help me to take responsibility for my life and destiny, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
