*The Bible says that Isaac sowed in that land, and this year he reaped a hundredfold, for the Lord blessed him.
Isaac is in a foreign land, in Gerar to be precise.
The Lord asks him to stay there because of the family that is rampant in his country.
What interests us is that Isaac prospered in a foreign land.
He worked, he sowed, he prospered.
It’s not easy to succeed in a foreign land, the conditions are not easy and sometimes everything is done to discourage us and drive us out.
And when we multiply elsewhere, disputes, jealousies and divisions arise.
Isaac certainly tried once or twice, and it didn’t work, but that year the Lord visited him and the work of his hands exploded a hundredfold.
Isaac is blessed because the Lord blessed him, he carries the blessing, he carries within him the seed of progress and abundance.
So if we think that elevation is a matter of chance, we are mistaken.
If we think that we have to negotiate our glory with men, we are fools.
If we think that multiplication is the result of shortcuts in our personal efforts, we are wrong again.
It is with God that everything happens,
It is with him that alliances are made,
It is Yaweh alone who can give us the strategies and the courage to do a work or invest in a land where many have failed.
If we don’t have the Lord’s permission, we simply need to know that we are in the ephemeral and that as soon as the first storm, the first breath of wind arrives, everything will collapse.
We must therefore understand that it is God who lifts us up and not men, even if he can make use of them.
God is the source of our blessings.
It is not too much effort or too much posturing or too much showboating that opens the gates of heaven, but the person who trusts in the Lord.
It is God who commands the blessing to be with us.
When the blessing comes from God, the Philistines can close the wells dug by Isaac, but that won’t stop it from springing up, it won’t limit the position given by God.
Psalm 75:7 – For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the wilderness, comes the exaltation.
Bless the Lord for the gift of progress.
*Elevation* means progress, prosperity, blessing, multiplication, increase, abundance…
This verse clearly tells us that it is God who enlarges our tents, who gives us value, dignity and quality.
It is God who enhances our image,
It is he who gives us spiritual greatness, spiritual status, spiritual authority…
It is the Lord who gives us the ability to manage and direct our affairs.
When the appointed time comes, the Lord brings us out of the shadows, out of anonymity, out of hiding, to position us, to promote us and to seat us at the table of kings.
Let us return to the Lord.
Everything we build without the Father is in vain.
He is the beginning and the end.
He is the offspring of David.
Let us give him all the glory.
Good day to you all
Good day to you
