ABRAHAMIC COVENANT (Part 2)
Genesis 26:14-16 (16) – Then Abimelek said to Isaac, “Move away from us; you have become too powerful for us.” (NIV)
Read: Psalms 105:8-11
Yesterday, we learned that God blessed Isaac with numerous flocks, herds, and servants, so much so that nations feared him. As seen in the Bible text for today, the Philistine king saw Isaac as a threat to his kingdom and sent him away. The people also envied him and blocked his father’s wells (Abraham). Consequently, Isaac dug several wells, and the Philistines returned to make peace with him.
Isaac enjoyed this level of blessings because of his response to divine instructions and based on his father’s covenant with God. The Lord never left Isaac for once but reassured him of His promises to Abraham, which were fulfilled. There was also a man in the late 19th century, John D. Rockefeller, a devoted Christian who served God diligently in obedience and in giving. God prospered him in the oil enterprise, causing him to be richer than nations and becoming one of the greatest businessmen of all time.
God can replicate the Abrahamic-Isaac-Rockefeller type of wealth in this generation. The Almighty can make you the powerhouse of the global economy. Deuteronomy 28:12 reveals that Heaven can send rain to bless your work and enrich you to lend to nations rather than borrow, though only if you obey God’s commands. Endeavour to activate the Abrahamic covenant through your unwavering faith and obedience to divine leading. However, when God lifts you, be ready for opposition like the Philistines, who will try to disrupt the Abrahamic blessings in your life. Stand firm against the enemies, and God will cause them to reconcile with you, as the Philistines did.
