What Every Firstborn Must Know

CHAPTER ONE
What Every Firstborn Must Know
T
he destiny of the firstborn is pivotal to the success of any family. The firstborn is the pillar of the family, and the plan of God is for the firstborn to provide leadership in existence, in results, in spirituality and all areas of life. Indeed, expectations are high on the firstborn, both from the 1 family and from the society. The devil also sets a high target against the firstborn. Why? The devil knows that if he can bring down the first, it will be very easy to take down the rest. As a result, the firstborn, more often than not, receives more spiritual attacks than other children. You must understand that whatever cannot bring down the firstborn cannot bring down other children in the family. In a lot of ways, the firstborn acts as a spiritual cover for other children in the family.
TAKE YOUR DESTINY BY FORCE
The devil knows if he can bring down the first, it will be very easy to bring down the rest. Maybe in your family, the firstborn child is presently going through crisis and spiritual attacks and you think it doesn't concern you; you are very wrong. Once the devil can bring down the first, bringing down the rest is almost guaranteed. You must hold-up the firstborn of your family in fervent prayers because your success is fundamentally tied to their success. Owing to divine orchestration and ordination, the destined responsibilities of the firstborn cannot be substituted by anyone; you can only do what you have been destined to do, you can't effectively become what you are not destined to be. 2
In God's design, to be the firstborn means “TO BE EARLY”, but this prophetic connotation is the opposite of the manifestations of the destines of many firstborns; most firstborns are tied with a satanic rope of unexplainable delay. They are usually the last to achieve success; that is, if at all they do. Prophetically, the firstborn from the paternal angle is regarded as the “SYMBOL OF FRUITFULNESS”, and from the maternal angle, the firstborn is the “OPENER OF THE WOMB” (Genesis 49:3, Deut 21:17, Psalms 78:51, Psalms 105:36, Exodus 13:2, 12
