“Then
Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the
Lord blessed him. And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he
became very great“ (Genesis 26:12-13).
As a child of God, you’ve been called to the upward
and forward life. There are those who still say that life is full of ups and
downs, but that’s not what the Word teaches. I’ve never known the down life;
I’ve only journeyed in one direction, upward and forward only; and there’s no
option to that. That’s the life to which you’ve been called; a life of progress
and advancement. This month is your set time to move forward and make progress
in life!
The Bible
says Isaac waxed great, went forward, and grew until he became very great. In
other words, he made progress and became successful in every area of his life.
There was famine in the land of Gerar and Isaac’s friends and neighbours had
journeyed away to Egypt where there was plenty of corn and wine. It made sense
to go there since Egypt’s economy was the best in the world at the time. But as
Isaac was about to head for Egypt, God spoke out of heaven instructing him to stay
in Gerar, where there was famine, and sow in that same land.
Isaac
obeyed, and his obedience paid off as he “got richer and richer by the day
until he was very wealthy. He accumulated flocks and herds and many, many
servants, so much so that the Philistines began to envy him (Genesis 26:13-14
MSG). Learn to listen to the Spirit of God for
direction. Wherever He tells you to go is where you should go, and whatever He
tells you to do is what you should do. Isaac became very great because he
followed God’s instructions. It didn’t matter that there was famine in the
land, his results turned out differently.
The set
time for your advancement is now. It doesn’t matter how things may look around
you; if you would let the Holy Spirit guide you in the affairs of your life,
like Isaac, you’ll wax great, move forward and grow until you become very
great! This month, your life will be a story of unending progress. This is the
plan of God concerning you in this season of favour. Expect to make progress.
See yourself taking giant strides and accomplishing supernatural feats this
month, because the set time for your progress is now. Hallelujah
