“And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar. And the Lord appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of: Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father; And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. And Isaac dwelt in Gerar.” (Genesis 26:1-6 KJV)
You can be whatever you should be and can be right where God planted you. You will become the envy of your generation if you shall engage with these truths. This is the time and now is the season. You will be whatever you want to be if you should be and demonstrate your willingness. Just be planted where God planted you. None of us will fail. God will take us far. Just do the following:
- Put God first: You will be whatever you will be by the grace of God. If you seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, all other things shall be added unto you.
- Discover what you have: All that you need to make it in life has been put inside you. You carry your grace and resources within you. When the widow came to the prophet, his first question was, “what do you have at home?”. Until you discover what you have at home, you will be running around for nothing.
- Be content with such as you have: Godliness with contentment is great gain. Accepting what you have is a great blessing. Many of us are wasting precious time and resources getting what they don’t have, whereas the same energy could improve what they already have.
- Do business with what you have: Either as an entrepreneur, employee, or as an investor. There are three ways you can invest what you have; as an employee or entrepreneur or an investor. May the lord help you to find where you can invest your gift, capital, and skill. Any barrier that tries to stop you from finding your place in life is breaking in Jesus’ Name. May you be connected to your place in life.
- Take risk professionally: Taking risk professionally is setting faith goals and seeing visions supernaturally. You must attempt great things for God. You must be willing to do what you do well.
- Give yourself wholly: Give yourself wholly to your pursuit. Rise early before daybreak and let work begin; Hard work works. Teamwork makes the team work but hard work pays. Give yourself wholly to your pursuits. You cannot fail when you are given wholly to your calling and vocation.
- Shun the things that overthrow many: 1Corinthians 10 teaches us clearly; Sexual immorality, idolatry, murmuring, revelling, tempting the Lord. These are things that overthrew many though they were baptised under the same clouds and sea. They ate the same spiritual food, drank the same spiritual drink. You must shun these things. When you go to work separate your work from sex, food, partying, idolatry, murmuring, and tempting the Lord. Shun these things and you will become all that you have to be and should be.
Isaac stayed in the land God showed him, and that same year he sowed and received a hundredfold.
Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him. And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him. Genesis 26:12-14 KJV
This generation will envy you if you continue to stay where God planted you. You can be anything here. You can if you want; you can if you should.
Stay blessed; I love you!
