Sermon Note
Pastor Stephanie
God is real. God has much much more for us.
GENESIS 26:1-2 AMP
Now there was a FAMINE in the land [of Canaan], besides the previous famine that had occurred in the days of Abraham.
So Isaac went to Gerar, to Abimelech king of the Philistines.
The Lord appeared to him and said, “Do not go down to Egypt; stay in the land of which I will tell you.
Know His Word and the foundation of the way God moves.
God wants to release the body of Christ to experience no lack especially in this last days.
God has His own way and His way never fails.
GENESIS 26:3 AMP
Live temporarily [as a resident] in this land and I will be with you and will BLESS and FAVOR YOU,
for I will GIVE all these lands to you and to your descendants, and I will establish and carry out the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.
Develop the heart. The heart new a reborn experience. The spirit needs to be born again. Out of it flows living water.
God gives us. He is a Giver. Receive the Giver’s heart.
The Lord gives us a new heart.
God comes to take away stress.
No more sending the wrong signals to different parts of our bodies to become diseases.
God has the final says. Not the doctors
Blessings come from God.
GENESIS 26:4 AMP
I will make your descendants MULTIPLY as the stars of the heavens, and will GIVE to your descendants all these lands;
and BY YOUR DESCENDANTS shall all the nations of the earth be BLESSED,
GENESIS 26:5 AMP
because ABRAHAM LISTENED to and OBEYED My voice and [consistently] kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.”
GENESIS 26:6-7 AMP
So Isaac stayed in Gerar.
The men of the place asked him about his wife, and he said, “She is my sister,” for he was afraid to say, “my wife”—thinking, “the men of the place might kill me on account of Rebekah, since she is very beautiful.”
Every blessing is founded on the grace of Jesus
GENESIS 26:8-9 AMP
It happened when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out of a window and saw Isaac caressing Rebekah his wife.
Then Abimelech called Isaac and said, “See here, Rebekah is in fact your wife! How did you [dare to] say to me, ‘She is my sister’?”
And Isaac said to him, “Because I thought I might be killed because of her [desirability].”
God blesses us because He is our good good Father.
GENESIS 26:10-11 AMP
Abimelech said, “What is this that you have done to us?
One of the men [among our people] might easily have been intimate with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us [before God].” Then Abimelech commanded all his people, “Whoever touches this man [Isaac] or his wife [Rebekah] shall without exception be put to death.”
THEN Isaac PLANTED (SOWED SEED) in THAT land [as a FARMER] and REAPED (HARVESTED)
Issac planted and sowed seeds
Everything on this planet has been cursed when Adam sinned.
Bring your tithes. That is where it belongs to God. After your tithes, you start sowing.
Sowing and reaping
Sowing continues.
in the SAME YEAR a HUNDRED TIMES [as much as he had planted], and the LORD BLESSED and FAVORED him.
Issac sowed and in that year he reaped 100 times as much as he planted.
H2232 SOW
Original: זרע
Transliteration: ZÂRA‛
Phonetic: zaw-rah'
BDB Definition:
to sow, scatter seed
producing, yielding seed
to be sown
to BECOME PREGNANT, be made pregnant
to produce seed, yield seed
Strong's Definition:
to sow; to disseminate, plant, fructify:- bear, conceive seed, set with, sow, yield.
Scatter seed all over the place
100-Fold
Most believers view Kingdom economics with the crop-planting perspective.
They have the idea that when they plant a seed into the Kingdom economy, they can expect a single harvest in return.
Perhaps 30, 60, or 100-fold, but no more than one harvest per seed. However, God’s economy is far more plentiful!
Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the LORD blessed him.
– GENESIS 26:12
The spiritual Kingdom economics work differently than in the natural. Sure, keeping what you have for yourself means that $1=$1.
But in God’s economy, $1=100-fold! So, what is a hundredfold?
Is it just $1×100=$1000?
Actually, no! A hundredfold is infinitely larger.
Imagine a chessboard with 64 squares.
On the first square, you place one grain of rice.
On the second square you double it, placing two grains of rice.
That would be 2-fold.
Then on the third square,
4 grains of rice.
For each square, the number of grains is doubled.
By the time you got to 10-fold, you would have 512.
What about 30-fold?
Well, that would be an astonishing 536,870,912!
By the time you reached the 64th square, you would have 9,223,372,036,854,743,040 grains of rice!
That’s a lot of stir-fry!
But Isaac received 100-fold in that same year (which was a year of famine, by the way)!
So, what if that chess board had 100 squares?
633,825,300,114,112,448,948,537,917,440
100-fold return is so large, our little human brains can’t even fathom it.
In the Kingdom, $1 = INFINITY!
Like a fruit tree, when you sow into the Kingdom of God, your seed may take time to produce fruit.
But hold on!
That SEED will CONTINUE to PRODUCE FRUIT for you, YEAR after YEAR after YEAR!
GENESIS 26:13 AMP

The Lord appeared to him the same night and said, “I am the God of Abraham your father; Do not be afraid, for I AM WITH YOU.

Now He who provides SEED for the SOWER and bread for food will PROVIDE and MULTIPLY your SEED for SOWING [that is, YOUR RESOURCES] and INCREASE the HARVEST of your RIGHTEOUSNESS [which shows itself in active goodness, kindness, and love].
