Isaac: An Example of the Fight of Faith for Productivity

Even as a Covenant of Blessing Carrier; Isaac still had to fight in Faith for His Prosperity.

The journey of Isaac to prosperity, even as a Blessing carrier.

1. Isaac Received A Vision From God. Isaac received a Vision from the Lord to dwell in Gerar. The first and most important step to Divine productivity is receiving and focusing on God’s vision for you.

2. Isaac Obeyed The Vision of God for Him. Isaac obeyed the vision God gave him. He dwelt in Gerar. (Gen.‬ ‭26:6‬).

Are you obeying what God told you to do in that biz, career, ministry, or project? In your obedience is your making!

3. Isaac Took Corresponding Actions. It is not enough to obey God’s instruction; taking and doing is key to its success. Isaac sowed in the land. He focused on his vision, the physical unfriendly circumstances notwithstanding. Judging God faithful, to Bless his effort even in the midst of drought and famine. (Gen. 26:12‬)

4. Isaac Engaged Machinery. Isaac operated with the mind of great success. He had flocks, herds, and a great number of servants. Isaac engaged machinery. He was expecting productivity, He built structures. He employed great minds, skills, and experts. (Gen.‬ 26:14‬)

5. When Opposition Came, Isaac focused Still on His Vision. Isaac was rejected, un-friended, attacked, robbed off of his efforts severally, fought against… even his only father figure, Abimelech; his father’s friend, denied him and chased him away from him. (Genesis‬ ‭26:16–17, 18–20, 21–23‬)

In spite of all these oppositions from friends, neighbor,s and even close family members, Isaac, focused on his vision; this can only be possible in forgiveness…

When faced with opposition, you can choose to dwell on them and be drowned, or simply forgive and move on, keeping the focus on your vision.

Oppositions are distractions from visions and purposes in life. Give no place to the devil. (Eph. 4:27).

Forgive quickly and stay focus on your vision.

Remember that strife is a setup against you! Give it no chance! Forgive quickly and stay focused on your vision. (2Tim. 2:24–26‬)

6. Isaac Prosper And Continue To Prosper. Isaac prospered and continued to prosper.

Many stumble on a phase of prosperity; however, due to a lack of understanding of how they got there, they could not replicate it again and again.

Isaac did not only prosper, he moved forward, and continued to prosper until he became very prosperous. (Gen.‬ ‭26:12–13‬) How, He was persistent in his focus on God’s Vision for him.

7. Isaac Return To Give Thanks To God. Isaac returned to God in thanksgiving. Recognizing that It was God that made him prosper so far! This point is very key in sustaining success in life.

Isaac went up to Beersheba and built an altar unto the Lord there. That same day, his servants found water again in a new well… (Gen. ‭26:23–25‬; 32–33)

When you return to give God thanks, you receive the completion of your Blessing.

“For whoever has, to him more will be given; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭4:25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Where Are You Right Now? - Are you running God’s Vision or your Ambition? - Are you focusing on large-scale biz; working with expansion in your mind? Engaging Machinery… engaging the best brain? - Are you distracted with oppositions; or you are forgiving and maintaining your focus on the vision? - Are you returning back to God in thanksgiving as you make small wins?

All these steps are sure to guarantee your not only prosperity, in them, but you will also move forward, continue to prosper until you become exceedingly prosperous…

Isaac: the fight of faith for productivity!

My dear friend, what will you rather do with this information?

For to him, that has, more shall be given; that he may have more!

Even as a Covenant of Blessing Carrier; Isaac still had to fight in Faith for His Prosperity. (Genesis 26)

Your FAITH is overcoming the world; Therefore, fight the good fight of Faith in that area of concern of your life.

My dear friend, Pause, Ponder and Think about these things…

We pray this series is a BLESSING to you.
