It is a principle I have observed over the years and that led mi to take my pen to write a book concerning the above topic.
Check every family you have encountered, you can attest that every child carrying a 2nd child identity (either d 2nd son/daughter, 2nd before d last, or 2nd in a family) always do exceptionally well. 2nd is symbolic and spiritual.
This can be validated using Bible principles of Jacob and Esau, Joseph and his brothers, John and Jesus, 1st disciples and Paul, Abraham and Isaac (Israel; neva came during Abraham's generation until 2nd generation) 2nd bout of Job, Saul and David, and many more.

If you belong to 2nd position, judiciously savor the opportunity and convert it to ur advantage.

very true

So romantic

Ok...now waiting for a 3rd born to come with his/her hypothesis

It all depends on how you see it... I've heard people talk about it. But what I believe is that every child has a gift, some make use of their gift than others. God did not create anybody for nothing. Find your purpose in life, and you will be happy.
Your use of 'bible principle' is not well strengthened... If you remember, Joseph you mentioned was not a 2nd child. And I wonder why you compare Jesus and John. David was not a 2nd child...pls always get your facts right. God himself has regards for every firstborn that opens the womb. Think about Jesus, Samuel, Solomon, and other firstborn you know in real life.
Your argument should have been that there are challenges encountered in being a firstborn. Some are spiritual and others are not.

so I take it all ur siblings dey underperform

Mmmm evritin op is say Is lie am second burn on our aos and whot op is writ is nort me........

I understood u perfectly bt u re yet to discover my angle. Literally, the 1st king of Israel was Saul while David was d 2nd. John and Jesus were cousin, John as an elder cousin, hence, John came b4 Jesus. 1st disciples ws the 12 while Paul came thereafta...wch mk Paul a 2nd disciple in d school of disciple ship. Joseph was d 2nd to d last...2nd ws involved.
Conclusively, both 2nd child/position is what my intent addressed. I actually posted dis to receive criticism from nooks and cranny, and then use it to develop d piece b4 publishing.

He's referring to Gods romance via blessings upon the second born but your carnal mind could not see it

The truth is that it might not be now bt somehow, it is actually falling into place whn u think its falling apart. Jacob was a cheat and all that bt wt hapened thereafta? Joseph; it didn't looklike it for him until something happened.
Then, it depends on ur desire...u shall ve wt u so desire whn u pray and believe...

I will like to have your name and keep u in my archive for afta a couple of mths...I wud want to knw ur status and thought. I will not be surprised what you wud ve bcome.

It is not an hypothesis...Bible is valid, hence d law is valid.
Jacob and Esau, Ephraim and Manasseh...am sure whn d book is out, u will get more facts.

Its not in every family bro. N even biblically, Jesus was the first, John d baptist was the first, David was d 8th boy...its not about ur position, it's abt wat u choose to do with d fact dat u were even born at all.

John came b4 Jesus, check Luke 1:36-45. Elizabeth and Mary were cousins too. David and Saul were used regarding Israel...I spoke of child and position.

It is wt we choose at times bt again, whn God does otherwise, can we question Him? For there is no partial with God.

no partial with God; so why wil He choose d second children? Abt John coming before Jesus, then it's safe to say dat my cousin came b4 me, so I will be greater. How nice

Rm 9;13 and Mal 1:3...said it all. So also in Gen 48:20 where Jacob did same...it is with God and who can question Him?

TRUE! But accepting one's fault shouldn't be choking

I'm thinking "is he high"

ok, agreed! God has mercy on who He chooses to. However, it isn't a function of being a first or second born.

This post made me chuckle a little bit.
My Elder Sister ( the first child ) has always set the standard. Even as good as I think I am, She is better!
Your birth position doesn't make you or break you!

I think I see your angle of reasoning now...that everything 'second' is better than first. Now, while you might be using this to console your self for reasons I am yet to find out, I want you to know that if second was 'better' Jesus wouldn't have referred to himself as "The First and the Last". ...should have been second and second to the last...maybe he would have been second born of all creations. I have nothing against second born though. But look for a better argument. This one is empty.
