Bebe's interpretation
Today's passage depicts how a man received so much after planting crops in a foreign land. Even though it was a time of famine in a strange land, a man walked with God and received an extraordinary increase! If we draw a few principles from the story of Isaac’s prosperity, we must know two things.
Although the possibility of God blessing you is fascinating, the first thing you need is a seed to be sown. To access God’s supply, there must be a seed in your hand. What is the seed? It’s that idea, the business, the job, or anything else that would require your labor to produce a harvest.
The second thing needed is the willingness to work. Many believers don’t understand the way God’s prosperity works. They think they should pray more for favor and the blessings of God. While we don’t dispute how much we need God’s favor and blessings, we must not let our lives take the course of “faith without works”. If we pray and believe we have faith, then we must also work to validate the faith we have.
These are two principles that grant access to the kingdom wealth of God. When we want to see the kind of increase Isaac experienced, we must be ready to sow in the land to reap a hundredfold. It takes dedication, diligence, knowledge, wisdom, and the hand of God to make it a reality. The supply is available, but you must know how to bring it into your life.
