DEAR CHILD OF GOD: DON’T GO DOWN TO EGYPT!
No matter how DEADEN and DARKEN your situation or circumstances are, or the FAMINE in your life, you need to know, you are a covenant child and you don’t need to be bewildered to let anything make you GO DOWN TO EGYPT or learn of the world – Satan or cohorts – ways to MAKE it in life. You are in the world, but not of the world’s ways of doing life. You are of God and the GREATER GOD lives in you as it’s written:
“YOU ARE OF GOD, little children, and have OVERCOME them: BECAUSE GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN YOU, THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD. 5 THEY ARE OF THE WORLD: therefore speak they of the WORLD, and the WORLD heareth them. 6 WE ARE OF GOD: he that KNOWETH God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4-6.
“For WHATSOEVER IS BORN of God OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: and this is the VICTORY THAT OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.
Therefore, by the enabling GRACE and the POWER of the GREATER one inside you, you can confront your situation, that is, that MOUNTAIN or VALLEY or ROUGH or CROOKED places of your life by pondering on God’s WORD – that is, MEDITATING, on the covenant WILL of God on that MATTER concerning you, based on His HOLY WORD by the Blessed Holy Spirit, you will make your way to PROSPERITY and have GOOD SUCCESS in God’s PURPOSE for you. Hence I say, be STRONG and very COURAGEOUS in the Lord because your VICTORY and TRIUMPH is a certainty. It is your right in grace in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead as says in Joshua 1:1-9 and Isaiah 40:3-5 and 1 John 5:3-5.
In the scriptural context of Genesis 26:1-14, Egypt stands for one’s state of unbelief, backsliding, famine, hunger, hopelessness, faithlessness, lovelessness, setbacks, failures, pain, hurt, depression, the unbeliever acts of doing life and such likes.
It thus mea that you don’t need to FAKE it to make it. Therefore, DARE TO BELIEVE and you will Become as the covenant Isaac BECAME when he act on his covenant will of God concerning him.
If you are on the RED LIGHT of life, please stop and take a purse, take time to ponder on the words of grace and patiently wait through the AMBER LIGHT until the GREEN LIGHT of FAITH shows up, then go and become – Genesis 26:12-14.
May you experience the BLESSEDNESS of God in times of your challenges.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“AND THERE WAS A FAMINE IN THE LAND, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar. 2 And the Lord appeared unto him, and said, GO NOT DOWN INTO EGYPT; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of: 3 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; 4 and I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; 5 because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws . . . 12 THEN ISAAC SOWED IN THAT LAND, and received in the same year an HUNDREDFOLD: and the Lord BLESSED him. 13 And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he BECAME very great: 14 for he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him” Genesis 26:1-5, 12-14.
“And this is the CONFIDENCE that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to HIS WILL, he heareth us: 15 and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him” 1 John 5:14-15.
“CAST NOT AWAY THEREFORE YOUR CONFIDENCE, which hath great recompence of reward. 36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. 37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul” Hebrews 10:35-39.
“BE STRONG AND OF A GOOD COURAGE: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. 7 Only be thou STRONG AND VERY COURAGEOUS, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. 8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest” Joshua 1:6-9.
“He shall DELIVER thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee. 20 IN FAMINE HE SHALL REDEEM THEE FROM DEATH: AND IN WAR FROM THE POWER OF THE SWORD. 21 Thou shalt be HID from the SCOURGE of the TONGUE: neither shalt thou be AFRAID OF DESTRUCTION when it cometh. 22 At DESTRUCTION and FAMINE thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the BEASTS of the earth. 23 For thou shalt be in LEAGUE with the stones of the field: and the BEASTS of the field shall be at peace with thee” Job 5:19-23.
“Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; 19 to DELIVER their soul from death, and to keep them ALIVE IN FAMINE. 20 Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield” Psalms 33:18-20.
“. . . The Lord knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be forever. 19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: AND IN THE DAYS OF FAMINE THEY SHALL BE SATISFIED . . . 23 The STEPS OF A GOOD MAN ARE ORDERED BY THE LORD: AND HE DELIGHTETH IN HIS WAY. 24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand” Psalms 37:18-19, 23-24.
“The VOICE of him that crieth in the WILDERNESS, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, MAKE STRAIGHT IN THE DESERT A HIGHWAY for our God. 4 EVERY VALLEY shall be EXALTED, and EVERY MOUNTAIN and HILL shall be MADE LOW: and the CROOKED shall be MADE STRAIGHT, and the ROUGH PLACES PLAIN: 5 and the GLORY of the Lord shall be REVEALED, and ALL FLESH shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it” Isaiah 40:3-5.
