“Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him. And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great” (Genesis 26:12-13)The Bible says Isaac waxed great, went forward, and grew until he became very great; what a life! As the seed of Abraham, this is the life to which you've been called. You are set apart to make progress and be successful in every area of your life, irrespective and independent of the surrounding circumstances.
During a time of famine and great dearth in the Land of Gerar, many made their exit to a seemingly more profitable economy in Egypt, but God instructed Isaac to stay and sow in the same land. Isaac obeyed, and his obedience paid off, as he got richer by the day, until he became a dominant force in the land (Genesis 26:13-14).
The secret to a life of progress and unending prosperity is in heeding to the counsel and direction given to you by the Holy Spirit. Wherever He tells you to go is where you should go, and whatever He tells you to do is what you should do.
The reason for Isaac’s prosperity and greatness in Gerar was his obedience to divine instructions. It didn't matter that there was famine in the land, his results turned out differently. It doesn't
matter how things may look around you; if you’d let the Spirit guide you in the affairs of your life, like Isaac, your life will be a story of unending progress!
