Activating Favour 1

Activating favour 1.
“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:”
Genesis 26:1-2

One way you activate the blessing and the favour of God upon your life is by following divine instructions.

There was a famine in Gerar, according to our opening scripture, and Isaac wanted to leave for Egypt because of the famine but the Lord appeared to him and told him not to go down into Egypt and he obeyed. Obeying divine instructions keeps you in the center of God's will for your life.

Are you quick to obey divine instructions when you receive them? In Genesis 26:3 the Lord said to Isaac, “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;” Genesis 26:6 says, “And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:” As a result the Bible says in Genesis 26:12-14, “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.”

Therefore, if you are not experiencing the favour of God in your life, one of the things you must observe in your life is your attitude to divine instructions.

Prayer:
Dear Father, I thank you for the release of the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of you towards me today, in Jesus Name. Amen.
