Did you know that family mistakes can lead to the failure of an entire nation? In his sermon, Hernandes Dias Lopes examines how the rivalry between Jacob and Esau, as narrated in the book of Obadiah, caused lasting consequences for their descendants. Hernandes Dias Lopes uses this story to illustrate how a lack of wisdom in raising children and attempts to manipulate God's plans can generate conflicts that persist for generations. He highlights the importance of promoting family harmony and the need to respect God's purposes to avoid future disasters. Hernandes Dias Lopes warns of the danger of underestimating small family problems, which can turn into major tragedies if not addressed correctly. He also emphasizes that attempts to change God's plans, as Isaac and Rebekah did, can result in unforeseen consequences and drive away God's blessings.
