Sought With Tears
Monday, January 26, 2026Key Verse
“For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears” (Hebrews 12: 17).
Text — Hebrews 12:15-17
Message
What a sad way to lose an inheritance, especially when it is sought carefully with tears! That was the situation of Esau who was described as a profane person. He treated his inheritance with contempt as if it didn’t matter to him; but when he needed it most, he couldn’t get it back even with tears. Such is the life of some youths in the society. They despise salvation messages and act as if the Church is a taboo. But when they have challenges, they run back to the same Church seeking solution. Sometimes such efforts are too late. Yet there are some who backslide because of mundane things. Jesus says: “Behold I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.”
Esau treated his inheritance with levity and another man took it. Our inheritance seems less important until we lose it. Many have sacrificed their inheritance in Christ for internet fraud, pornography and lust. Where do you stand? Have you lost your inheritance? The Lord is still calling you to reclaim it before it is too late.
