Laban was a shepherd but he never reached the pinnacle of glory, he managed with what he had but when he came in contact with Jacob things became different.
Jacob has to work seven years to have his wife Rachel, but Laban, his uncle, knows that Jacob is blessed and that since he made a commitment to take care of his flock, there is multiplication.
Laban sees his profit, he wants his interest, he wants to ensure his prosperity.
Instead of giving Rachel whom Jacob wanted, he gave Leah as his wife.
Jacob, disappointed, still has to invest his energy, his strength, his experience to get what he wants and satisfy his father-in-law.
Laban knows abundance, he is left little to much and his flock has increased but Jacob wants to be independent, he needs his family.
Laban does not want to let him go and does not want to reward his beautiful son.
So they make a deal and in his integrity Jacob continues to shepherd the rest of Laban’s flock but the Lord has made Jacob’s weak sheep strong.
Jacob became richer and richer and his flock was abandoned.
Laban, frustrated to start spreading with his sons that Jacob to steal their wealth.
It was at this time that the Lord ordered Jacob to return to the land of his fathers.
Like Jacob, we can experience abundance but let’s be upright, selfless, whole for the Lord to remember us.
In Joel, 2:24 – The floors will be filled with wheat, and the vats will overflow with new wine and oil.
Pray to experience abundance as you keep investing.
This verse is in the present, it tells us about the reality of our blessings, the change of status compared to yesterday.
The soils are fertile, the rains invigorate and strengthen them, the result is satisfactory, the fruits are rich and abundant.
Beloved, the Lord takes us out of lack and shelters us from want.
So trust the Father, he is our strength.
hello to us
Have a good day
