ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.

Wednesday June 5th, 2024.

Topic : Follow Divine Instructions.

Memory Verse: Deuteronomy 8:18. But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.

Bible Reading :‭Genesis 26:12-14 NIV‬. Key Verse : v26.

Isaac planted crops in that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold, because the Lord blessed him. The man became rich, and his wealth continued to grow until he became very wealthy. He had so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines envied him.

One of the best thing that can happen to a man in his lifetime is to walk with God. The best place anyone can live anyday and anytime is in his presence. The walk that Abraham had with God in his lifetime became a ground of blessing to his descendants. The covenant of blessing God gave him robbed off on his son Isaac and continued. There was famine in the land and when Isaac got to Gérar, the Lord instructed him not to go further into Egypt, but to remain in Gérar for God to bless him there opposition notwithstanding. “The Lord appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land where I tell you to live. Stay in this land for a while, and I will be with you and will bless you. For to you and your descendants I will give all these lands and will confirm the oath I swore to your father Abraham. ” Genesis 26:2-3.

Isaac followed divine instructions and settled down in Gérar. All his initial fears and challenges was taken care of as God granted him favor before Abimelech the king and put his fear in the heart of the Philistines. Because he was in the place of his place of his primary assignment, his blessing located him right where he was. He became so blessed, rich and waxed strong that the Philistines in who’s land he sojourned envied him. The more they tried to stop him, the stronger he waxed. “When the men of that place asked him about his wife, he said, “She is my sister,” because he was afraid to say, “She is my wife.” He thought, “Then Abimelek said to Isaac, “Move away from us; you have become too powerful for us.” So Isaac moved away from there and encamped in the Valley of Gerar, where he settled. [18] Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug in the time of his father Abraham, which the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham died, and he gave them the same names his father had given them.” Genesis 26:16-18.

Today we have to learn to be where God wants us to at any point in time, to enjoy his protection and blessings maximally. In his heart, Isaac desired to enter Egypt, but couldn’t in obedience to the voice of the Lord that came to him. In divine economy, obedience is always key to abundant blessings of God. One of the reasons we struggle much sometimes is because we fail to discern the voice of the Spirit, which exposes men to avoidable attack and losses. Again the Spirit of God is the greatest teacher of men. No one who follows his instructions can ever fail in life. ‭”So if you faithfully obey the commands I am giving you today—to love the Lord your God and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul— then I will send rain on your land in its season, both autumn and spring rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and olive oil. I will provide grass in the fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied.” Deuteronomy 11:13-15.

Prayer : Thank you Father God because you care so much about me. Let your Spirit be my guide and teacher in everything I do. Thank you because you will decorate my life with riches and wealth as I follow your leading obediently in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : John 1:1-18.
