MFM Daily Devotional 21 March 2025 Message

Another lesson we can learn from the life of Esau is what I call “The Power of One.” Beloved, ONE is very powerful. Remove 1 from 100, and you will not have three digits again. Remove 1 from 1000, and the 4 figures will slide back to 3. That is the power of ONE that so many people despise. May we not despise the one thing that will make us great, in the name of Jesus.

Jacob had supplanted Esau and received all the blessings, but Esau pressed for just one blessing. Genesis 27:38 says, “And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.” He got it, and he ran with it. He worked with just one blessing and became great. He did not end up begging from Jacob, who had received many blessings. He also became wealthy simply because he chose not to despise his little endowment.

This is in contrast with the unprofitable servant in Matthew 25:25, who was given one talent but went to bury it. He was probably envious of the person that had five talents. He despised his days of little beginnings. He buried the rod that would make him great. After all, it’s just one, and what can one talent do for me? So he thought. Esau got just one blessing and ran with it and became a wealthy man.

Only God can estimate the number of talents and potential that have been buried simply because the carrier felt it was not enough to make them great. I wonder what would have happened to the Israelites at the Red Sea if Moses had buried his one rod. Most of us tend to over-celebrate the many gifts in the lives of others and then look down on the one talent God has blessed us with, which is capable of rewriting our history.

READ Prayer Points on Open Heaven 18 March 2025

God has blessed every human being with one talent or another according to each person’s ability and capacity. Some could have ten, and some could have just one. What matters most is not the number of your talents but what you do with those talents. Even if someone has all the talents in the world, if he doesn’t do anything with them, he may end up bowing to the person with one talent who has worked with it.

What’s in your hand? Whatever you have in your hands, be it one or plenty, has the capacity to make you great.

A songwriter rightly put it this way:
“It’s in your hand, you hold a miracle, though not much to you, turn it to Him, He will take what you give to Him and make it what you want it be, a miracle is in your hand.”

I implore you today to discover your own rod and run with it, and I pray that God will breathe on your talent to make you great, in Jesus’ name.
