“Isaac adapted Egypt’s crop irrigation technology”

*Now, Isaac had grown and had a family of his own.

*There was famine in the land, yet the LORD had appeared to him in the city of Gerar and clearly told him not to go down to the land of Egypt as his father Abraham had done (Genesis: 1-5)

*This was the mind of God for Isaac and Isaac chose to flow with it.

*The LORD said He would bless him in the land, yet there was drought, no rainfall.

*Isaac had faith like his father Abraham and knew that the LORD would not lie, and that what He promised, He was well able to perform it.

*Isaac’s thinking may have gone this way

**I know God will bless me here as He has promised.

***I need water to grow my crops.

****There is no rain, no water from above.

*****The rivers are dry, no available water.

*And right about there, the idea must have hit him

**There must be water available from below. I could irrigate my crops using well water.

*He adapted the cutting edge technology to bring his day to the conditions existing in Canaan, and his crops grew when nobody’s else would.

**I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions (Proverbs 8:12).

*Because of this one idea from God, not only did Isaac have plenty of food for his household, but an abundance left over to sell to the Philistines.

*His prosperity really began to increase rapidly now, as the wealth of the Philistines was transferred from them to him.

*Isaac became so rich and powerful that the king said that Isaac’s household was more mighty than the entire nation of the Philistines, and they sought a peace treaty with him.

Lesson

*You don’t have to be a genius to prosper. All it takes is one idea from God acted upon.

Pray with me

*Oh LORD, I know it is not by formula that we prosper but rather by finding out the plan for our lives and flowing with that plan.

*Show me your plan for my life today, I am ready to flow with your plan LORD. In Jesus Mighty Name we pray. Amen
