Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 8, Day 3: Tuesday, 21st February, 2023. TOPIC: BLESSINGS AND CURSE, TRACEABLE TO CHARACTER 3: Obedient Is A Character

1 There was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, in 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:

6.So Isaac dwelt in Gerar.

12. Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the LORD blessed him.

13. The man began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous;”

Your character is more important than your prayers. God watches your character and attitude before releasing your request. Disobeying God’s voice; instructions, commands is a character with a reward.

God doesn’t bless people with bad character especially disobedience. They may seems blessed but it’s for a while and not from God. God told Isaac to stay in Gerar, during famine. Mean while, He has a character of obedience learnt from his Father, Daddy Abraham. So, he obeyed God. Have you been in that situation where you began to regret your disobedience? When you felt “and I was told not to take that step”, it’s a character you need to work on.

This character of obedience by Isaac made him a wealthy man beyond expectations;

12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the LORD blessed him. 13 The man began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous;

The reasons for stagnation in life might be as a result of disobedience to some instruction. Watch your character, it determines your placement in life.

Good Morning 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.
