HARVEST

Genesis 26:12
"Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the LORD blessed him.”

God told Isaac to stay in the land, even though there was a famine. His father Abraham had gone down to Egypt during a famine in his day & picked up many problems. Isaac obeyed God & 'stayed' & 'sowed’in the Promised Land. The land was the 'place' of covenant. It's us remaining in the church, the 'place' God has prepared for us.
In a time of drought & famine, Isaac stepped out & sowed seed. We must keep giving even in famine. Sowing & giving are synonomous in Paul's writings.

Our harvests don't just fall in our lap. We must go out & reap the answers to our prayers. Blessings always falls on the obedient. God was quick to display His pleasure with Isaac - In the same year - He reaped
'100 fold'

Saw this in Pst Phil's Blog. Man!! This is so impacting! And I think this coming Easter, Its time for us to do something!!!
