The Hundredfold and the Blessing

Sunday 6 August
READ: Gen. 26: 12-19
MORE LESSON: Psa. 112: 1 – 10

The lineage of the righteous is always blessed. When we look at the Scripture, we will see that the patriarchs and men of faith were people of righteousness and blessing. Men like Abraham have showed us that it is possible for the righteous to be rich. All the traditions and doctrines that make it look like becoming born again means signing up for poverty is entirely wrong. Wealth and abundance are the heritage of the righteous. According to Psa. 112:3, Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
In the Bible, a testimony was recorded about Isaac that he sowed in the land where he was and he reaped a hundredfold. After reaping the hundred- fold, the Lord further blessed him. It says, Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him: Gen 26:12. Reaping a hundredfold of one's planting is blessing enough but as if that is not enough, the Lord blessed Isaac after he had reaped a hundredfold. This denotes both natural and supernatural blessings. Isaac experienced the blessing of having returns from the natural work of his hands. Then he also experienced supernatural blessings that he couldn't account for by the work of his hands. You will receive the hundredfold
and you will also receive the blessing. In other words, God will give you both blessings that you work for and those that you can't work for.
For the rest of your life, expect a hundredfold return from every effort you make. You will never labour and have nothing to show for it anymore because the Lord is giving you the hundredfold harvest. In addition to that, expect blessings that you can't labour for. Prov 10:22 says, The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. The Lord will crown your hundredfold returns with the blessing.
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Job, David, Solomon and our Lord Jesus Christ were blessed people. You are from a lineage of wealthy people, your story will not be less. The adage 'like father like son' applies to you, not according to your natural parenthood but by your spiritual descent from the lineage of the blessed. You will not be poor or small. Your greatness will not stop. You will move from one level of glory to another. Wealth will be found in your house, in Jesus’ mighty name. I pray for you today, the Lord will increase your greatness and comfort you on every side (Psa. 71:21). He will break the curse of poverty over you. I release you into wealth.
