DIVINE ESTABLISHMENT

Then the Lord appeared to him and said, “Do not go down to Egypt; live in this land of which I shall tell you. Dwell in this land, and I will be with you and bless you; for to you and your descendants I give all these lands and I will perform the oath which I swore to Abraham your father” (Gen.26:3-4).

At the beginning of the year 2006, the Lord promised to usher us into our very best “which is the land flowing with milk and honey”. God being faithful to his word, we saw so many of the devoted and committed brethren ushered into their very best. God’s promise to us in 2007 as the New Year unfolds is that the Lord will divinely ESTABLISH his children in the very best that He has ushered them into.

We are convinced that as the Lord has promised, He will settle securely in a position especially in a favourable position all his faithful children. “For you are the glory of their strength, and in your favour our horn is exalted” (Psalm.89:17).He will cause you to be recognised and accepted by those who have hated, despised or strive with you for long because you will enjoy His personal presence, bringing you strength, help and protection as we chose to live by His word obeying all it’s standards and directives. “When a man’s way pleases the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him” (Prov.16:7)

The Lord commanded Isaac to stay in the land and that He will bless him and prosper him. God has promised to securely settle you in that position of your divine assignment which you must seek to locate and make to become your obsession.

Isaac believed God that as the Lord promised to bless him and establish him in the land of Gerar despite the long protracted famine in the land and other unfavourable conditions, He will do it. Isaac discovered God’s assignment and was obsessed by it and walked by manifestation of God’s promise.

“Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundred fold and the LORD blessed him. The man began to prosper and continued prospering until he became very prosperous of herds and great number of servants. So the Philistines envied him” (Gen 26: 12-14).

What God has promised you is to proper you where others are failing, Your progress and success will be so pronounced that it will attract envy and jealousy from your neighbours, kings and rulers. They will surely strife with you, do so many things to stop your progress but they will find your defeat unattainable because of God’s personal presence. Every stage or phase of opposition will lead you to further breakthrough until you get to your Rehoboth, where you will experience no more intimidation and you will confess that God has made room large enough for you and all those who have been striving with you will surrender to you and acknowledge that the Lord is with you.

For everyday of this year, your enemy will be growing weaker and weaker and you will be growing and waxing stronger and stronger. Arm yourself for battle and go before the Lord. He will surely establish you in your inheritance and deliver unto you your possession.
