Prospering Anywhere

Text: Gen.26:1-14
More Lessons: III Jn.1:2

Every child of God is an automatic candidate for prosperity. There is nothing we ask from God that He didn't make them available long before we were born. The delays to having answers to our prayers are most often caused by our ignorance or inability to do our own bit of the covenant. Painfully, our part of the covenant with God is so infinitesimal yet we allow situations to blow them out of proportion for us. Take the issue of salvation for instance, God's role in making Jesus available is far greater a part of the covenant; ours is just to believe.

It is like a mathematical equation of God's role taking 99.9% to our .1% .God wants to proper His children but so many of us have placed barriers upon ourselves as a result of what we do or what we wrongly construe as barriers. Not all obstacles are barriers, most of them are stepping stones carefully arranged by God's angels to lead us to our divine destinies. Our ability or inability to comprehend this determines how far and how well we go in destiny fulfillment.

Our passage talks about Isaac and the issue of prosperity. From this passage it is clear that prosperity is not first an environmental affair. Prosperity is not necessarily about what your enemy is doing, has done or is about to do to your matter. Do you know why? The Bible says in Psalm23:5 that,”Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over”.

This is a clear confirmation. In this scripture, David said, in the presence of my enemies, my cup overflows. I declare unto you today that no matter what the situations are, you will overflow with employment, children, abundance and breakthrough right in the presence of your enemies in the mighty name of Jesus. In Gen.26:1which land did the Lord say Isaac should go? Gerar. Which land did He say he should not go? Egypt. What was the result? Gen. 26:13 says, “And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great”. Therefore the type of land which you dwell is not the case, it is what you do with the divine instructions you receive from God that makes the great difference. In Gen.26:14, Isaac prospered so much that the people around envied him. The land of your birth or the town where you work have nothing to do with your prosperity. If as a child of God you are rightly connected to Him, He will make you prosper irrespective of your geographical location or occupation.

Prayer/Action.
* Declare upon your life God's divine prosperity that has no regards for human positioning.
* Pray that God will change your prosperity mentality to connect with His divine plan for your life
* Ask God to make you an Isaac to your generation.
