-(SPIRITUALITY AND PROSPERITY):(THE CASE OF( « ISAAC ») IN THE BOOK OF LIFE »)!
-ACCORDING TO THE BOOK OF LIFE WHEN THERE WAS A(« FAMINE ») IN THE LAND,BESIDE THE FIRST (« FAMINE ») THAT WAS IN THE DAYS OF (« ABRAHAM »).AND (« ISAAC ») WENT TO (« ABIMELECH »),KING OF THE(« PHILISTINES ») UNTO (« GERAR »).AND THE LORD APPEARED UNTO HIM,AND SAID:(« GO NOT DOWN INTO (« EGYPT »);DWELL IN THE LAND WHICH I SHALL TELL THEE OF:SOJOURN IN THIS LAND,AND I WILL BE WITH THEE,AND WILL GIVE ALL THESE COUNTRIES,AND I WILL PERFORM THE OATH WHICH I SWARE UNTO (« ABRAHAM ») THY FATHER;AND I WILL MAKE THY SEED TO MULTIPLY AS THE STARS OF HEAVEN,AND WILL GIVE UNTO THY SEED ALL THESE COUNTRIES;AND IN THY SEED SHALL ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH BE BLESSED »).(GENESIS 26:1-4)
(1)-(« GOD ALMIGHTY GAVE (« ISAAC ») AN AMAZING PROMISE »)!
-« GOD THE AMIGHTY » PREDICTED IN HIS OWN WORDS:(« I WILL BE WITH THEE,AND WILL BLESSS REPEATING A PROMISE HE GAVE TO « ISAAC’S FATHER,(« ABRAHAM »)!IN THE SAME TREND , (« ISAAC ») HAD APPARENTLY DWELT FOR YEARS AMONG THE (« PHILISTINES »).BOTH HE AND HIS FATHER WERE KNOWN TO (« ABIMELECH »),KING OF THE( « PHILISTINES »).HE LIVED AMONG THEM IN PEACE AT THAT TIME!THEN FAMINE SWEPT ACROSS THE LAND, AND EVERY THING CHANGED.
(2)-(« IN TIME OF LACK,THE RIGHTEOUS MAN ALWAYS STANDS FIRM »)!
WHENEVER FAMINE STRIKES,THE FIRST THING PEOPLE TEND TO DO IS TO LEAVE,TO GO ELSEWHERE FOR BETTER CONDITIONS AND POSSIBLE HELP.BUT THE LORD TOLD(« ISAAC ») TO STAY AND DECLARED TO HIM:(« I AM WITH YOU,I WILL BLESS YOU, DON’T BE AFRAID OF THE CONDITIONS AROUND.DON’T BE AFRAID OF THE FAMINE THAT STRUCK THE LAND »).
-HOWEVER, (« ISAAC ») HAD MANY NATURAL REASONS TO BE FEARFUL.HE WAS LIVING IN THE MIDST OF A FOREIGN PEOPLE IN A PARTICULAR CONTEXT OF FAMINE BECAUSE WHEN HE WAS LIVING IN THE LAND OF THE( « PHILISTINES »), THE FAMINE UNFORTUNATELY CAME!
-(« ISAAC », THE OBEDIENT RIGHTEOUS MAN PUT FAITH INTO ACTION »)!
THAT IS WHEN « GOD » SAID TO (« ISAAC »):(« IAM WITH THEE,AND I WILL BLESS THEE »IN SPITE OF THE PEOPLE AROUND HIM,THAT TO SAY IN SPITE OF THE(« PHILISTINES ») SURROUNDING HIM.
(3)-(« GOD IST NOT WITH THE WICKED HE IS WITH THE RIGHTEOUS FOR EVER »)!
REMEMBER, « GOD » IS NOT WITH THE « WICKED »,HE IS WITH THE « RIGHTEOUS » FOR EVER.NEVER ONCE DID « GOD » SAY IN HIS WORD:(« I AM WITH (« ABIMELECH »), AND I WILL BLESS THE (« PHILISTINES »).ON THE CONTRARY, HE SAID TO (« ISAAC ») CLEARLY:( » I AM WITH YOU, AND I AM GOING TO BLESS YOU! »)
(4)-(« GOD) NEVER BREAK HIS PROMISE TO (« ISAAC »)!
-LOOK WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS:(« THEN « ISAAC » SOWED IN THAT LAND »)(GENESIS 26:12).IN OTHER WORDS, IN THE MIDST OF ALL THE TROUBLES, FURTHERMORE IN THE MIDST OF FAMINE, IN THE MIDST OF LIVING AMONG THE ENEMIES, THEN( « ISAAC ») SOWED IN THAT LAND.AND THE SECOND HE SOWED SEED, A MIRACLE TOOK PLACE!
-NEXT TIME, WE SHALL COMMENT ON THE THREE (3) SUPERNATURAL THINGS HAPPENED WHEN( » ISAAC ») OBEYS GOD AND SOWED SEED BY STEPING OUT IN FAITH!
