TOPIC: FOLLOWING GOD’S INSTRUCTIONS
Memory Verse: Is. 1:19
“19 If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land;”
Bible Reading: Gen. 26:26-30
“26 Then Abimelech came to him from Gerar with Ahuzzath, one of his friends, and Phichol the commander of his army. 27 And Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me, since you hate me and have sent me away from you?” 28 But they said, “We have certainly seen that the LORD is with you. So we said, ‘Let there now be an oath between us, between you and us; and let us make a covenant with you, 29 that you will do us no harm, since we have not touched you, and since we have done nothing to you but good and have sent you away in peace. You are now the blessed of the LORD.’ ”
KINGS WILL BOW TO YOU
A nobody of today can become a capstone of a nation tomorrow. That you are a nobody today but you are following the instructions of God, the world can bow to you in a jiffy. Following God’s instructions will make your enemies seek peace with you without your invitation.
Deut. 28:1&7
“1 “Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the LORD your God will set you high above all nations of the earth.”
7 “The LORD will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.”
Listening to God’s instructions and carrying it out is the best way to defeat our enemies. Isaac dwell in the land of famine and he became wealthy that the king envied him and sent him packing. The wealth kept increasing and the King have to pay him a visit in the valley of Gerar to seek for peace oath. That means the whole Gerar was afraid of Isaac. The King said, “we have certainly seen that the Lord is with you” “You are now the blessed of the Lord”. What a sentence.
Father, I realise I don’t need to fight my battle myself, I just need to follow your instructions day in day out. Give me the patience to listen to your instructions and carry them out accordingly, in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
