God's promise to Rebecca (Genesis 25:23) was fulfilled when He chose her son Jacob (28:13-15) and not Esau (Malachi 1:2-3). God's promises to Jacob were fulfilled through His protection of Jacob (Genesis ch.35) and through the Israelites' inheritance of the Holy Land.

Why did God choose Jacob over Esau?
The Bible does not say that God chose Jacob; in fact Jacob's success is explained in the Bible as coming about by Jacob's repeated unethical conduct, which would presumably be anathema to God.
Did god kill Jacob son for dropping his seamon on the ground?
No - God told Abraham to sacrifice Jacob as a sign of his faith.
What angel wrestled Jacob?
Although modern English translations often use the word 'angel', Jacob did not wrestle with an angel, but with a god - el. So the question could be about what god wrestled with Jacob.In an ancient tradition inserted into the life story of Jacob at Genesis 32:24ff, he was left alone and wrestled with a man all night until the break of day. Even though his leg was dislocated, Jacob refused to let his opponent go unless he blessed Jacob. That the 'man' was a god is amply demonstrated - Jacob asked for his blessing, and he had the prerogative of changing Jacob's name. The new name he gave Jacob was Israel (generally assumed to mean "wrestled with God'). If the man who wrestled with Jacob was a god, then Jacob was also a god in the very early tradition behind this account, as demonstrated by the fact that he was such an even match for his opponent. And if the opponent was a god, he was also a sun god - daybreak signalled the end of the contest, he had to leave Jacob before the sun could rise, then the sun rose upon Jacob. There is evidence elsewhere in the Bible that suggests Jacob was worshipped as the moon god in very early times before his story evolved into that of a mortal hero. Jacob called the place Peniel ('the face of God') because he had seen God face to face.When we accept that this was once the story of a contest between two gods, or even if we imagine that the patriarch Jacob could wrestle a god for the entire night, then we have few choices but to see that the god who wrestled Jacob was, in pre-biblical times, the sun god.
Why should we remind God of his promises when we pray?
1) Mentioning his promises is in itself a form of prayer. In effect, we're thereby requesting their fulfillment.2) God doesn't forget or lose sight of what he's said, but we do. By repeating God's promises, we're also stressing to ourselves that they can be fulfilled only by God. He sees that we're reminding ourselves and thinking of him, and that provides the merit for their fulfillment.

Was the covenant God made with Abraham conditional or unconditional?
I suppose you can consider it conditional in that Abraham had to leave his country in order for God to fulfill his promises. But as for all the blessings God promised (that were to be given once Abraham arrived in his new country), those were all unconditional.
How did God's promises impact Abraham's decisions and attitudes?
Abraham began serving God long before God spoke to him. He didn't serve God because of Divine promises. However, the prophecies and promises certainly encouraged him.
