Rachel & Leah – Women of the Bible

Genesis Chapters 29 – 35
Rachel and Leah were the wives of Jacob. After running away from his sins (Genesis 27) Jacob arrived at Laban, his mother’s brother place. Rachel and Leah were the daughters of Laban.

Rachel was more beautiful than Leah. Jacob fell in love with Rachel and agreed to work for Laban for seven years in exchange for marrying her (Genesis 29:15-18).

This was the beginning of Rachel’s problems. Laban, her father, was not a trust worthy man and after seven years he deceived Jacob into marrying Leah instead of Rachel as promised (Genesis 29: 21-28).

Rachel and Jacob were very much in love but the deception of Rachel’s father had hurt her badly. It produced hurt and bitterness in her heart that she never really overcame. Bitterness is like poison to the soul. It destroys a person.

Women of God need to be careful of the hurts and emotional wounds that may follow them from their backgrounds and childhood. These need to be dealt with. Only Jesus can heal these kinds of aliments.

Laban’s dowry from Jacob (14 years of labour) was quite expensive. Rachel rightly thought that she had been exploited and sold. She never forgave her father for this (Genesis 31: 4 -18). The same can be said of Leah.

Because of her fathers actions in deceiving Jacob into marrying Leah, Rachel had to share her husband with her sister. Her fathers sins affected her life. There was constant trouble in the home. Both sisters struggling for the attention of Jacob. Child birth was used as the main weapon (Genesis 30).

Rachel had problems in bearing children and Leah used this to her advantage. Maybe the bitterness in Rachel’s heart contributed to her problem in child birth. God eventually gave her a child (Genesis 30:22)

Women (and men) need to make sure that they do not allow curses which have been set lose by the actions of past generations cause havoc in their lives. Sometimes problems in your home maybe due to curses made, directly or indirectly, by other peoples actions. This was the case for Rachel and Leah.

The lesson we learn from here is that we cannot afford to harbour unforgiveness in our hearts. It will only destroy us.

The remarks of Rachel and Leah in Genesis 31: 14 – 16 and the actions of Rachel in Genesis 31: 19, 35 showed the disgust she had for her father right to the very end. This again could have been the reason for the tragedy that befell her in Genesis 35: 16-19.

Rachel had every cause to be annoyed with her father. He had done her wrong. She and Jacob were very much in love and could have made a wonderful couple. Her fathers actions destroyed this.

However, things did not have to go the way they did. Rachel’s life stands out as an example and warning of how generation curses can affect us.

God can turn these kind of situations around for us today if we serve Him and love Him with all our heart (Romans 8:28). If you love God you will forgive those that have hurt you and refuse to harbour bitterness in your heart against them. Bitterness destroys (Hebrews 12:15). It is in your own interest that you forgive. By God’s grace and your will power you can forgive.

After getting your heart right with God, you can then pray and break the curses that might have been let lose in your life. It might be helpful to ask other believers to pray with you. Ask God for healing and a restoration of all the things that satan has caused.

Remember, many times curses are let lose in our lives due to no reason on our behalf. Nevertheless it is within our authority to break them once we get our hearts right with God. Let Rachel’s life be an example to your life and not a mirror of it.

Kid Kurrup, Devina address recent allegations

Artiste Javon Rodney, more popularly known as Kid Kurrup, is denying allegations that he is being sought by the Centre for the Investigation of Sexual Offences and Child Abuse (CISOCA).
In an interview with THE STAR, the artiste says these allegations came about when a dispute between himself and a female artiste, 17-year-old Devina Burn, ended up on Twitter.

‘My ex-girlfriend hacked my phone and started tweeting stuff about me and my artiste Devina. A popular publicist made a report to CISOCA and because of this, the police came to my house on Friday. I wasn’t there but I called them and we have set up a meeting with CISOCA to speak about the allegations,” Kurrup told THE STAR.

The artiste went on to say that the allegations were untrue and has tarnished his reputation.

“I am not wanted by the police. I am in conversation with the police and I know that Devina is not pushing the issue, so I don’t know why it is being said that I am wanted,” he said.

He further explained that he could not have been the one posting the tweets because that would be incriminating.

“A publication put out a release Monday that CISOCA is hunting for me. I called CISOCA and they told me that they did not send out any information like that, so my lawyer is looking into dealing with that publication,” he said.

ludicrous

Kurrup was also adamant that the allegations of carnal abuse were ludicrous because he was not having sexual relations with Burn when she was underage.

THE STAR also spoke to Burn who happened to be beside Kurrup at the time.

She explained that she was under the impression that the tweets were from Kurrup but now understands that his phone was hacked.

“This was between me and Javon. I found out it was somebody who had his phone, I don’t know why the person took it to Twitter,” she said.

She also stated that she made a report to CISOCA because she was influenced to do so.

“I was influenced to go to CISOCA and report Kurrup and at the time I was angry and I confirmed some of the things that persons had reported to the officers. I would never have taken the matter this far if I wasn’t influenced by this person,” she said.

Burn adamantly denied rumours that she had been having sexual relations with Kurrup since she was 14.

“I was a sheltered child, I didn’t even know Javon personally when I was that age,” she said. “I’m not rushing into anything with Javon right now, we will always be friends. Everything is at a roadblock right now and everybody will see and know what happens when the time comes,” she said. Efforts to contact CISOCA regarding the allegations proved futile.

Met,
I am a regular reader on your site and I think this story is one your readers would respond to if you get this in time. This lady Joan Llewelyn was shot and her family, including her daughter killed by her cop husband who later killed himself. I cried when I heard her words of courage from her hospital bed, vowing to walk or even run a marathon and I swore that if she ever did I it I would run with her. Anyway she continues in her struggle to regain her mobility and she is now in treatment in the US. She has entered a competition to win a mobility van to travel and share her story as a motivation to others. I would like you to consider visiting the site www.nmeda.com/mobility-awarenessmonth , I think her promo code is 935 and 675 to vote, and look for her in local heroes.
This is really one strong Jamaican woman who could use some help, I don’t know her but when I think about her story and the fact that she is always so positive and encouraging, without knowing the other participants in the competition, I think she is very deserving of as much support as possible. I think there are only three days left to vote, so please see what you can do.
