A Bountiful Harvest Awaits You

Bible Nugget 0303 [Genesis 26 12-14 KJV]
 12Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.

 13And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:

 14For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.

This is one of the most outstanding miracles recorded in scriptures defying the laws of simple addition. It is part of the covenant blessing, a pact made between Abraham and God that Abraham’s descendants will be blessed. In the year when drought and famine ravaged the land, Isaac, Abraham’s son obeyed God, went forward by faith and experienced multiple-fold increase. God’s promises are yea and amen, and what he says he will do. God told Isaac to stay in Gerar and not to take off  to find relief in Egypt.  Gen 26 v3 reads:

 ³Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;

God had foresight for Isaac. He showed Isaac favor and, blessed him beyond measure. God does not add sorrows to His blessings. His blessings will confound your adversaries that they begin to wonder how you made it when others are losing. Are you at the point of quitting or losing faith?  Put your confidence in the Lord, for he promised that his people will not be put to shame.

Lord, let you divine favour be my portion in all things and at all times. As your word says, Isaac sowed in the land you told him to stay and he was blessed by you with a hundred fold harvest in the same year breaking natural laws.  Grant me a heart of obedience to hearken to your voice. I will not be dull of hearing. I shall be quick to obey your voice. I receive hundred fold returns as I sow and you bless the work of my hands in Jesus name. I wax great, I move forward and grow in your grace and favour beyond human measure in Jesus Name. Send your favour where I had not been favoured in time past, open unto me the secret treasures of your kingdom and make me to begin to follow all your kingdom principles in Jesus Name. All covenanted blessings in Christ are mine in Jesus Name. Amen.
