Bible Reading: Gen. 26: 12 - 22
Topic: When God Blesses A Man
Having obeyed God and
stayed in Gerar during the famine, instead of moving to Egypt, Isaac sowed in
that land and reaped a hundredfold.
This was possible, not
just because Isaac was the seed of Abraham but also because he looked beyond
his circumstance and trusted and obeyed God.
This prosperity brought
him envy, hatred and rejection from those who previously accepted him as a
friend.
As God's children in
Christ, we too are joint-heirs with Christ of all the blessings of Heaven )Eph.
1: 3).
No matter the
difficulties, challenges, scarcity, economic meltdown in the Nation, e.t.c. we
too will prosper if we trust God as Isaac did.
Therefore, we should not
allow the state of the Nation's economy to dictate how we live our lives.
God is able to make us
prosper in our own land of famine.
God has determined
greatness for us not just prosperity; for Isaac waxed great, went forward and
grew until he became very great (v. 13)
You are in for the season
of God's blessing; look up to Him, trust Him and obey Him that He may manifest
and show Himself strong on your behalf.
Prayer
Oh Lord, thank You for all
Your provisions for me. Help me to always stay connected to you in the Name of
my Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
Memory Verse Gen. 26: 12
"Then Isaac sowed in
that land and received in the same year an hundredfold and the Lord blessed
him"
