Wrestling with God

22 And he arose that night and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the ford of Jabbok. 23 He took them, sent them over the brook, and sent over what he had. 24 Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day. 25 Now when He saw that He did not prevail against him, He touched the socket of his hip; and the socket of Jacob’s hip was out of joint as He wrestled with him. 26 And He said, “Let Me go, for the day breaks.”
But he said, “I will not let You go unless You bless me!”
27 So He said to him, “What is your name?”
He said, “Jacob.”
28 And He said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel;[b] for you have struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed.”
29 Then Jacob asked, saying, “Tell me Your name, I pray.”
And He said, “Why is it that you ask about My name?” And He blessed him there.
30 So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel:[c] “For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.” 31 Just as he crossed over Penuel[d] the sun rose on him, and he limped on his hip. 32 Therefore to this day the children of Israel do not eat the muscle that shrank, which is on the hip socket, because He touched the socket of Jacob’s hip in the muscle that shrank.

I respect Jacob man ! He's the man !!! What happen was , his brother Esau was coming after him with 400 men .. It's expected of Esau to be angry with him because of some stuff that happen at home and Jacob got blessed by Isaac instead of Esau when Esau was meant to be the one be blessed..


Actually thinking about it , after Jacob is blessed , he wasn't really blessed cause he got cheated by his father in law to work for 14 years if i'm not wrong , cause the father in law gave him the wrong wife.. but he got to make love with with 3 ppl if i'm not wrong .. 2 wives and 1 servant... and he had alot alot and alot of children... literally you can form a soccer team out of it...

So yap , he was amazing cause , he was told that he will be blessed , but it dont seems like he was.. he got cheated by some father in law that refuse to let him off ... and chased after him to the mountain when Jacob tried to escape when the Lord asked Jacob to.. Finally he could chase off the old folk , then Esau was on his way to find Jacob with 400 men... can you believe it ???

So of couse Jacob was sad, he saw angles at this place and he called it " God's camp" ... powerful huh ! God's camp .. then.. he sent all his wives away and children also , and stayed there alone...

God came , and dislocated the joint at his hip ! Can you believe it .. Then God spoke" let Me go , for the day breaks " Then Jacob replied " i will not let you go unless you bless me" He was this determine !!! I will not let You go...

It's powerful man, God just dislocated his hip joint. He wrestled with God.. Picture with me , Jacob grab onto God's hands and say i wil not let You go... never will I !!! i will not !!!. It's like , I will not let you leave me , i will follow after you ! unless you bless me...

It's not until ! it's unless.. i guess it's quite clear... until is that he only wants God's blessing.. Unless is God will have Jacob sticking to Him unless He bless Jacob , if God really really wanna abandon Jacob then it's after God bless Him.. But i believe Jacob will still cling onto God after He bless Him...

Look at God's reply

"Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel;[b] for you have struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed"

For you have struggled with God and and with men and you have prevailed..

Struggled with God

It's like Jacob had go through trails with God that God purposely make it hard for Jacob to believe Him.
He was suppose to be blessed by Isaac and get a good wive from Laban.. But Laban cheated him and gave him another wive ( hahaha can you believe it ) then , he worked and worked for the wive he love .. then the wive he really love was barren.. then he got chase after by Laban accusing him of stealign everything and especially his idols.. when it's the wive he love the most ( rachael ) who brought it along without saying.... finally he settled the matter with Laban then Esau came , more likely to kill him and hsi family then to bless them... he had so many ppl wiht them , all young kids , servant , children, sheeps.... yea.. and couldn't go much..

and yet , God said " and have prevailed "
He believed... despite all these he believed...

Struggle with men..

Jacob was a great gentlemen , look at the way he speaks in the bible.. i was amaze.. I would have burnt Laban's house down for giving me the wrong wive.. and having 2 wives that keep snatching me... and my loved 1 is barren somemore.. i would have killed laban when he came up to the mountain to look for me.. rude and demanding... but look at home Jacob replied.. he was simply amazing.. gentlemen... he was nearly blameless and carried himself this well.. that you just wonder where all the tolerance and wisdom comes from...


Yea... I was so inspired.. Looking at him.. my life aint this deprive...


I told God.. :" i will not let You go unless you bless me " yea..
And He gave me a few number , 32 .. and i went huh ?! ok , so i'm gonna pray again...

He's amazing...
