Read the passage: Genesis 26
v.12 1. God's blessing is obviously the evidence of God at work in a servant's life.
(Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an
hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him.)
v.12 2. God's blessing exceeds any other form of increase.
(Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year a
hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him.)
v.13 3. God's blessings continue to a humble and obedient heart.
(And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became
very great:)
God required him to acknowledge his sin before Abimelech, a humbling
experience, one that also revealed who Isaac's God is.
v.13 4. God's blessing is intended to increase a servant's influence.
(and went forward,)
v.13 5. God's blessing is intended to make a servant great first of all before God.
(and grew until he became very great:)
v.14 6. Not all of God's servants will have the same proportionate blessing, but all
will be immeasurably blessed.
(For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store
of servants: and the Philistines envied him.)
v.14,7. God's blessings cannot be imitated by the world; God's blessings bring
16 unique favor.
(and the Philistines envied him.)
(For all the wells which his father’s servants had digged in the days of
Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with
earth.)
(And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than
we.)
