“And the Lord appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of: 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 26:2-3.

The covenant is for all, the secrets are shown to some for distinction. While all could subscribe to the covenant, the level of commitment delivers the secret of living. Some may term this as divine partiality but what’s the use of the secret to one who won’t heed to the instruction.

Isaac heard and heeded the covenant word to enter his prepared place. The secret of God leads from the confusing place to the prepared places in life. This is the secret that transforms wanderers to wonders, slaves to signs. Without the covenant secret, living is common and uninteresting.

Covenant location is the secret to fruitful and fulfilled living. Every tree grows best where it is planted by God, not where it is wished by men.

“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.”Genesis 26:12-14.

The place of planting is the prepared place for maximum productivity. God does not lead backwards, he leads forward always. Instead of going down to Egypt, Isaac went forward, became great and grew astronomically. From the shame of a community and wanderer, Isaac became the envy of a nation in one year walking by one covenant secret.

It’s important to remember that prosperity is by the covenant, not the location. The covenant prospers anything and anyone that dwells in his appointed place. Those that follow covenant instructions see hear and become what others cannot become by their obedience of faith.

Leave good behind, become the envy of your world; prepared places await.

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit:for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.”1 Corinthians 2:9-10.

Prayer:

 Thank you Father for the wonders of the covenant that turns the confused to their prepared place in life for distinction. This is my portion and heritage by redemption in the name of Jesus.
