21 So went the
present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company. 22
And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants,
and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok. 23 And he took
them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had. 24
And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking
of the day...26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he
said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me...28 And he said,
Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou
power with God and with men, and hast prevailed... And he blessed him there. 30
And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to
face, and my life is preserved.
- Genesis
32:21-30 {KJV}
It is interesting to note that the first
mention of “eleven” in Scripture was in the passage above and that was before
Jacob was left alone to wrestle until he received a change of name, a blessing
and consequently, favour in the sight of his brother, Esau.
In reference to Jacob, it is written;
6 This is the
generation [description] of those who seek Him [who inquire of and for Him and
of necessity require Him], who seek Your face, [O God of] Jacob. Selah [pause,
and think of that]!
- Psalm
24:6 {AMP}
19 I have not
spoken in secret, from somewhere in a land of darkness; I have not said to
Jacob's descendants, 'Seek me in vain.' I, the LORD, speak the truth; I declare
what is right.
- Isaiah
45:19 {NIV}
Those who Seek His Face, don’t lose out on
the benefits of His Hands.
6 But without
faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe
that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
- Hebrews
11:6 {KJV}
May it be that as you begin a lifelong quest
to Seek His Face this NOvember, NOmember of your family is left out as the Reward
of Diligent SEEKERS comes your way.
6 Seek ye the
Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
- Isaiah
55:6 {KJV}
6 Therefore
let all the faithful pray to you while you may be found; surely the rising of
the mighty waters will not reach them.
- Psalm
32:6 {NIV}
14 In
righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for
thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.
- Isaiah
54:14 {KJV}
May it be that as you “clock in hours” to Seek His Face in the “Kairos” moments of this “Eleventh Hour”, you and all yours will be protected, preserved and provided for.
THIS is 2013
