TEXT: Genesis 26:1-5, 12-14King James Version (KJV)
26 And there was a famine in the
land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went
unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.
2 And the Lord
appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I
shall tell thee of:3 Sojourn 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;
4 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him.
13 And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:
14 For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.
It
is true that a supernatural wealth transfer is coming, like we just read in our
text, but this truly belongs to those who have made the kingdom of God their
priority.
It is true that the Scripture has said that the wealth of the wicked is laid up
for the righteous, but the righteous will have to get to where God can trust
him to give it to him, or else the wicked will still hold it in trust. For this
is not going to happen to just any Christian. The word of God tells us that
"the heir as long as he is a child does not differ from the slave until he
comes of age. This means until you become spiritually mature, God cannot give
you your blessings.
For
some of you to become eligible for this blessing, God will shake you out of
your comfort zone just like the mother eagle will destroy the nest to teach the
young eaglet how to fly. By letting it fall from a very great height, she
teaches her own to develop the strength to soar on high. To prepare you for that assignment, God will take you to heights that you do not even know how to navigate your way through and as you depend on him for direction you become attentive to divine guidance.
At that moment when you are wondering, where is God? That's when you become so sensitive. But you will soon discover that He is with you, and will then show up like the mother eagle will swoop in to save the eaglet from hitting the ground.
Beloved, open your heart to God, he is trying to teach you to stretch out your wings so you can soar on eagle's wings.
