TOPIC : SENSITIVITY IN FAMINE 6: Be Proactive In Something.
MEMORY VERSE:
Kings 17:2.
“2. And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,”
BIBLE READING:
Genesis 26:12-14.
“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.”
God has promises and covenants for His sons and daughters. He Keeps to His declarations towards us but most times we put all our burdens on Him to carry for us (and stay idle). We pray and fast but wait for Him to lift our loads while we stand to look at Him afar off, that prolong our stay in famine. Every principles of God demands our contribution for the fulfillment. Yes, there’s famine but there’s something we can do to turn it around.
God told Isaac to stay in the land of Gerar where there was famine instead of going to Egypt. But Isaac, in a foreign land, started planting and became a farmer. He was diligent in doing something and the scripture said, “He sowed and received a hundred folds harvest, still in famine. You can’t just fold your hands and wait for God to put things to work for you. You need to be diligent, sell what you have. What’s the skill you have? What do you know how to do? Put it to work to generate God’s blessings. God doesn’t bless nothing, He blesses something. Find something reasonable to do, to sell, to deliver and you will be putting an end to famine in your life.
Good Day and God Bless you.
Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
