TOPIC: PAUL RYAN: KNOW YOUR ROOTS
BASIC SCRIPTURE: ISAIAH 5:2-14; 44-51
Paul Ryan was the retired speaker of the United States House of Representatives. He represented Wisconsin’s first Congressional District and was the 54th House Speaker, a post he held till he retired! He is Roman Catholic. Henry Louis Gates Jnr., a Harvard scholar, features in a television show called, “Find Your Roots”.

In that programme, the Harvard scholar helps people to find their roots. In an episode of the programme, Gates decided to trace Ryan’s heritage to his 10th great grandfather who was born in 1531. The search brought Ryan a great surprise. It was discovered that Ryan is 3% Ashkenazi Jewish! The Ashkenazi Jews, simply called Ashkenazim, are a Jewish ethnic group who had their earliest ancestors from the indigenous tribes of Israel.
Research shows that the origin of the matrilineal line of the Ashkenazi Jews comes from Europe. The Ashkenazi Jews built religiously based communities centuries after their migration, in Central and Eastern Europe. Ashkenazi was one of the 3 sons of Gomer; whereas Gomer was one of the sons of Japheth, who was born of Noah (Genesis 10: 1-3).
Ryan, who is a fifth generation Wisconsinite, was born to a father of Irish descent and a mother who is both German and English. Somebody from his mother’s German lineage had married a Jew sometime along the line, thus giving Ryan a Jewish heritage or bloodline. Wow! Apologies for boring you with genealogy but as 2019 ends, the Holy Ghost is asking you: “Do you know your roots in God and Christ?”

The Prophet Isaiah said, “Hearken unto me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: LOOK UNTO THE ROCK FROM WHENCE YE ARE HEWN, and to the HOLE OF THE PIT WHENCE YE ARE DIGGED. LOOK UNTO Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him” (Isaiah 51:2-3). No matter how 2019 or your entire life has been, always remember that you are born of God!
You came from the ROCK that cannot be moved! YOU WERE DUG FROM A HORRIBLE PIT BEFORE BEING PLACED ON THAT ROCK! You carry the seed of ABRAHAM’s God and that makes you more than a conqueror (1 John 4: 4). Instead of crying or pitying yourself, always scream to the devil: “I know who I am.” When people don’t have a knowledge of their lineage and who they are, they go into captivity (Isaiah 3:13) and perish like commoners! BE DIFFERENT! Pray now!
PRAYER POINTS: Take any song of praise as led.
1. Pray about today’s word as led now.
2. Holy Ghost, empower me to know who I am. Our Daily Manna16 November 2019 – PAUL RYAN: KNOW YOUR ROOTS
3. I refuse to cry or pity myself! I refuse depression as 2019 ends! I am bom of God and dug from a horrible pit! My past in sin is over! I cannot fail because I am now hidden in the EVERLASTING ROCK! Thank you Jesus (worship Him now).
- Pray against any force contending against your root. Every ancestral satanic FOUNDATION, enough is enough! I know WHO I AM. The BLOOD of Jesus is my heritage bloodline! I uproot anything that is not part of His bloodline in Jesus name (Pray it for 5 days).
- Pray about today as led now. Pray for me.
