 Text:
 ```Genesis 27:10‭-‬13 NKJV
Then you shall take it to your father, that he may eat it, and that he may bless you before his death.” And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Look, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth-skinned man. Perhaps my father will feel me, and I shall seem to be a deceiver to him; and I shall bring a curse on myself and not a blessing.” But his mother said to him, “Let your curse be on me, my son; only obey my voice, and go, get them for me.”

```
 COMMENTARY
A will is a legal document that sets forth your wishes regarding the distribution of your property. It bequeath something to (someone) by the terms of one's will. Isaac on a sick bed has just expressed his intentions on how he wishes to bless Esau before he takes his last breath. Someone connive and conspired to change the whole thing. Rebecca the wife of Isaac took a decision that shook the foundation of her son Esau's life.

She cursed Esau in her heart and diverted what belong to Esau to her younger son Jacob. Jacob lived as a supplanter all his life. A life the mother bequeathed to him. Most children who would become idolatrous, yahoo boys, drug pushers, harlots and all kinds of social vices against outsiders learnt it partially from home either from their father or mother. When a child is very young, you can bequeath either a strong heart or soft heart in them. You can make them have feeling for others or callous and wicked.

Jacob would later practice same trickery and supplant on his uncle and father in-law, Laban. Jacob does not let Laban's removal of the unusually colored sheep and goats (Gen.30:29–36) keep him down. Instead, he alters his breeding techniques in hopes of yielding his wages. He peels bark off some trees to make them speckled with white and then has the goats breed in front of them. Thereafter the goats breed speckled kids making Jacob's herd to multiply exceedingly. Out of fear he planned and ran away with his family at night.

Food for thought:
Relationship is symbiotic. It bounces back with the same measure you used to measure out to others._

Prayer:
```In my quest to make it in life, help me discover my own destiny. Never allow me to involve in envy, conspiracy and wickedness of supplanting or defrauding another in Jesus name.```
