April-From gloom to bloom

Gen 26 starts in a gloomy situation in the land.There is a famine and the man of God Isaac also is in the land when famine struck.Its very much equivalent to the recession period we are facing.As big companies and corporates run out of funds,as people are given pink slips,its very typical of the situation we are facing.We can be gloomy as the world,but the word of God came to me telling YOU CAN BLOOM in these tough times if you take measures like Isaac.
1)STAY(v2)
The Lord asks Isaac to STAY in the place and he specifically asks Him to STAY in the land.When situations rise against us,our natural tendency is to look for alternate solutions.If one thing that the Lord expects from us ,it is to STAY in His presence.People of God who stay in His presence will not affected by any external situations.Naomi and Elimelech went to Moab in times of famine and landed in great catastrophe.God expects us to be clothed by His power.See Ruth 2:8.Boaz asks Ruth to STAY in the field and not to go anywhere else.In Luke 24:49:Jesus asks His disciples to stay in the city till they are clothed with power from above.
So Isaac obeyed and stayed in Gerar.

2)SOW(v12-15)
We read Isaac planted crops.He sowed seeds in the time of famine.The world must have mocked him,but He believed in God and agreed with the promise the Lord gave Him in the above verses.When we agree with God we disagree with our flesh and situations.When suicides and hopelessness is spreading ,God expects us to SOW His word of Hope and blessing into lives .You are the need of the world.Never give in to doubt.Sow love in people,Sow faith in the lives and be a blessing.We read the Lord gave a 100 fld harvest to Isaac and He became very rich and wealthy in times of recession.Child of God SOW in tears and reap with joy,.Carry the seeds with weeping and return homes with sheaves rejoicing.Hallelujah(Ps 126:5)
Read Gal 6:7-10.Do not be weary in doing good.Lets not be people who hurt...these are the days where God has called us to SOW into the hearts of people
God is faithful to give 100 fold harvest

3)SEEK(v15,18-22)
Isaac kept on digging wells.He unearthed the wells at the time of his father.This shows that we need to seek the presence of God.The presence of God is everywhere but we can appropriate only by spending time in digging through the word,persevering in prayer.Fasting and standing in the gap.The Bible says Seek ye first the kingdom of God and its righteousness and all these things will be added unto you(Mt 6:33)See Jer 2::13,Deut 28:29

4)SEE(v28-33)
The enemy who was hostile to you will come back to you.In the land of rejection God will lift you up.The world will see the God who was with you and blessed you in times of famine.The same Haman who lifted gallows for you will be the one who will take for a ride on the King's horse.I wish the Spirit take a grip on you and encourage you to be like Isaac.See the goodness of God ,see the God of turnarounds.See the Lord working for you,...Hallelujah...

May you be blessed prospered this month.Be of Good courage.I speak blessings and peace and deliverence in your life.May bondages,anxious thoughts break and let the Spirit of God take complete control
