YOKE ANOINTING BREAKER

SERIES: THE ANOINTING

TEXT: GEN. 27:40

Many people, like Esau have had a life programmed for difficulties. They have a negative anointing which attracts difficulties, wrong locations and wrong people into their lives. They have a yoke placed on their shoulders which limits them to an extend that they can’t go beyond certain limits. They have been fixed with governors. The secret of breaking free from this yoke it to be tired of it and grow restless for the yoke to be destroyed. Esau had a very difficult life despite being born in a rich family (Isaac). “his father Isaac answered him, your dwelling will be away from earth’s riches, away from the dew of heaven above. You will live by the sword and you will serve your brother. But when you grow restless, you will break his yoke from off your neck” Gen. 27:40

A yoke anointing was upon Esau. The yoke was upon his shoulders. Limitations were put on Esau. As such there are places Esau could not go and things he could not do. Location hindered Esau, the location was away from earth’s riches, away from rain of heaven. His earth was brass and his heavens were as dry as iron.

This anointing upon Esau was the yoke of unbroken curses. Unless the curse is broken, the yoke binding Esau could not be broken until the curse is cancelled. Anytime Esau wanted to breakthrough he found it difficult. Such people have yokes of limitations placed their way by the devil in the spiritual realms. Their life is characterized by lack, pain, fear, hopelessness, poverty, disease, failure etc.

Many have tried to break through but have failed. But Esau was told by his father the secret of breaking force from this yoke. He had to be tired of it and grow restless.

You cannot go free just complaining about your current unwanted situation.

You must become uncomfortable, unable to stay still or quiet, you must become uneasy, anxious, your night must become restless.

Hannah and Jacob became restless, Jabez grew restless and prayed (I Chrn. 4:10, I Sam 1)

You must be restless until your heaven opens. Arise and break them in Jesus Name. speak to your yoke, morning, daytime and at night, demand every yoke be broken, mention it by name, persist in prayers until dew from heaven relocates you. (Isa 10:27)

There is a yoke breaking anointing. God will make a way where there seems to be no way. God has the final word
