ISAAC CREATION
Genesis 26:12-22
Devotional-“Also Isaac's servants dug in the valley, and found a well of running water there” (V. 19)
As we study the word of God, it is expected of us to trust the Holy Spirit to reveal to us the factors of creation in God. So that, we also can employ these forces. This should be done with a total sense of responsibility. Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit will teach us all things (John 14:26). We therefore have the privilege of the Spirit of the living God to show us the hidden wisdom in the word of God.
The word of God tells us that Isaac prosper in the land greatly and you will also prosper in Jesus name. Let us therefore learn what he did. Isaac created his own prosperity during famine. This was when others were going hungry. God appeared to him and instructed him to remain in the land where there is famine (Genesis 26:1-4). This is because light is only celebrated where there is darkness. By this factor of obedience, by revelation, he started farming, digging well and watering through irrigation (Genesis 26:12-13; Genesis 26:15).
One of the trigger of the forces of creation employed by Isaac was obedience to God (Isaiah 1:19). He also employed faith in the ability of God to bless him in times of famine (Mark 9:23). He also employed the factor of team work, motivating his servants to dig well. At the end, God started blessing the work of his hand (Psalms 5:12). He started creating his own prosperity. You are the next. Peace!
PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace to arise in you for my progress.
