“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!
