CROSSED-OVER BLESSINGS

Text: Genesis 48:13-14; 17-19

Gen 48:13;  And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near unto him. 
Gen 48:14;  And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh's head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn. 

...
Men often times intentionally perverts the normal events. What suppose to happen freely has often be truncated by people in charge.

Gen 48:13; Joseph had Ephraim to his right hand while Manasseh was in his left. He would’ve done better by placing them both before his father (and their grand-father) placing Ephraim in Jacob’s right hand and Manasseh in his left but he changed it intentionally.
He changed the purpose of nature. He changed the mandate of destiny. He perverted the right course.

Prayer: 

Father, anyone who tries to take what is rightfully mine to another direction, truncate them and their plans.

Father, frustrate the craftiness of men over my destiny and purpose in life.


It is very important to note that Ephraim had no knowledge of what his father was doing. There are people who you don’t think can harm you but everything they’ve been doing has never been to your advantage.

...
Israel rights the wrong. He corrected the mistake. He cross-over his hand by stretching out his right hand to Ephraim.

Prayer:

Father, please corrects every wrong I’m in today by Your stretched out hand.

Father, please stretch-out Your hand and lay it on my life today in Jesus name.

Please Lord, rights every wrongs of my past, present and future today in Jesus name.

Israel guided his hands knowingly (or intentionally) by stretching it out and crossing it over placing the right hand on the person placed in his left and placing the left hand on the person placed on his right hand. “It doesn’t matter who you know, what matters is who knows you.

People can help you get to places because of your connections but if you’re not known for virtue and character, the people who you’re connected to will see to it that you’re drowned down.”


...
Gen 48:17  And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's head. 

Gen 48:18  And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head. 

Gen 48:19  And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations. 


...
Israel said “... I know..”! Manasseh had Joseph as his connection, he however is not known by Israel. (Gen. 48:18-19).

Prayer:

Father, I only know You and I believe You know me because I believe that Jesus is Lord and I’m saved by the blood of Jesus, therefore, please bless me intentionally today in Jesus name.

Father, please over-rule protocols for my sake and reach out to me in mercy in Jesus name.

Father, give me the cross-over blessings. Let the treasures not meant for me be diverted towards me today in Jesus name.

Father, please refused the enemy’s filed case against me in Jesus name.


God can not divert the resources of the earthen and unbelievers to you if you’re still an unbeliever. Jesus is the key to accessing all of God’s deals. Except you’re born again, you can not see God’s blessing.
Praying a prayer of faith to be saved makes all the difference.
Say after me and believe it with your heart...

Father, I come to You believing You will not cast me out, I confess Jesus today as my Savior, please forgive me of all my sinful life and lifestyles. I believe in Your only begotten Son, I declare now that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior from now till eternity, Amen.
