bless you and then you may please be seated exodus chapter 26 from verse 16 to 17 exodus 26 from verse 16 to 17. and abimelech said unto isaac go from us for thou art much mightier than we and isaac the patterns and peachy stand in the valley of gera and dwelt there go from us for thou art much mightier than we a king came [Music] to a man a king of a nation ancestor you came here as a sojourner as a stranger now you are mightier than our nation please go it is coming when somebody listening to me now will be greater than a nation you know our team this month is exceeding expectations many of us can have enough faith to believe that we could be the richest man in our nation but very few people can believe that they can be so rich that they be greater than a nation [Music] and whether the devil likes it or not there is at least one fellow here today you will be lending to nations the bible is full of several people who were wealthy prosperous it's only in the case of isaac that refined a man that a whole nation begged him relocate because you are much mightier not just mightier much mightier than we so i want us to spend few minutes this morning to learn some things from this fellow called isaac so that we can become like he became the first thing we learn from him is the power of obedience in genesis chapter 26 from verse 1 to 6 genesis 26 from verse 1 to 6 the almighty god told him there is famine in the land but don't move stay here and he stayed he obeyed i said chapter 1 verse 19 isaiah chapter 1 verse 19 says if you are willing and obedient you will eat the good of the land in second king chapter 4 from verse one to seven second kings chapter four from verse one to seven we saw a widow who was destitute the creditors were coming to sell her sons ran to god and god gave her instructions instructions that sounded foolish she had only a bottle of oil [Music] but god said go [Music] borrow empty vessels borrow not a few shut the door on yourself begin to pour the oil into the empty vessels when one is full set it aside pick a second how can a bottle of wild begin to feed several empty vessels that she obeyed there is power in obedience mighty power in complete obedience number two we learn from him the power of the lord of harvest genesis 26 from verse 12 to 14 genesis 26 from verse 12 to 14 it says he sold in the land in the time of famine he ripped that year a hundred foot and he kept on sewing he kept on sewing i kept on sewing the law of harvest says simply whatever you show you reap galatians 6 7 galatians 6 7. i was in one of our churches abroad several years ago they had an extremely beautiful choir they sang very well when it was time of offering i noticed that nobody gave among the choruses and i said to them i'm your dad and i'm also your coach you're saw singing you will sing in heaven but until you sow money you aren't going to get any i remember one of my friends now blessed memory when it is time to give he will tell you if you don't have anything to give borrow because if you sow nothing you will receive nothing hundred four returns means you put down zero you will get zero times hundred and 0 times 100 is what we learned from him from isaac that this boy was well taught well taught genesis chapter 18 from verse 17 to 19 genesis 18 from verse 17 to 19 god said i know abraham he will teach his children he will teach his children he taught isaac and isaac accepted the teaching he learned well there's nobody among you none at all in the redeemed christian church of god who could say it has not been well taught i don't teach you theories i teach you the bible point by point step by step every point i make i support it with the bible you are well taught but there is one thing to be well taught there is another thing to accept the teaching and apply it i taught you point blank that the summary of the teaching of jesus christ is that nothing goes for nothing give and you shall be given i told you that if there is anything at all that is free it is because somebody paid for it for you salvation is free because jesus paid for it healing is free because he paid for it and then he turned to you and said you two give and you shall be given he learned several good lessons from his father he learned from his father for example that you don't appear god before god empty-handed you don't do it exodus chapter 23 verse 15 exodus 23 verse 15 says you don't come before god empty handed he knew that how do i know he learned it genesis 22 verse 6 to 8 genesis 22-6-8 when his father took him and was going to make a sacrifice to god and he to talk to his father he says sir i can see the wood i can see the fire i can see the knife where is the lamb for the sacrifice atlantis from his father and he thought papa has forgotten something so he was trying to remind him don't come before god empty-handed isaac learnt it and learnt it very well he learned from his father that you must pay your tithe how do i know his father was the first person in the world ever to play tight genesis chapter 14 verse 18 to 20. genesis 14 from verse 18 to 20. he gave it up for that's his father the father taught him and the son learned the lesson so when some people tell you that tithing is lord the lord did not come unto moses abraham had been paying tight long before moses was born isaac learned from his father and malachi chapter 3 verse 10 malachi chapter 3 verse 10 is one of the passages that says that you can get you can exceed expectations because you bring the child to my house i will open you a window call you a blessing there won't be enough room to wait to contain that's exceeding expectation he learned from his father the power of the first fruit sacrifice genesis chapter 22 from verse 1 to 18 genesis 22 from verse 1 to 18 he was there when god asked [Applause] that his father should sacrifice your son your only son isaac whom you love [Music] and he was the sacrifice and he knew what god said after that sacrifice was made available god said to the father who made the faithful sacrifice i swear i will bless you and then turn to the sacrifice himself i say multiplier we multiply you isaac lent [Applause] he learned he learned the power of total surrender because of course like i have told you again and again if he had not surrendered himself there is no way the father could have bound him no way he would have outrun a man who was about 120 years or so old that is surrendered and he came out of the surrendered being promised by jehovah's shadow that he will be multiplied he learned from his father that you must put god above all other things because his father in planning to in being willing to make him a sacrifice got a statement from god god said now i know that you fear me now i know you put me first above your only son isaac that's why i swear in blessing i will bless you you want to exceed expectations in life learn from those who have exceeded expectations i'll tell you just one story you've had it before i'm just going to remind you or maybe if god wants me to tell you too i will i told you when i was a worker in the church years ago my father in the lord called a meeting at the workers and said that we we need money urgently the following week and said every one of us should go and close our accounts and bring the money to the church that's not that's not a natural [Music] request but jesus also is my father in the lord we got home my by monday my wife and i we went and closed our savings account there wasn't much there maybe we closed the thing down brought the money to papa the following sunday papa said that the workers meeting ah praise god our needs have been met then he has a question all of a sudden is how many of you close your account like i said i raised my hand my wife raised her hand i looked to the right to look to the left nobody else was raising his or her hand ah and immediately i began to say it looks as if as if i'm adding madness to this my religion then god spoke to me loud and clear he spoke to me son you are not mad it is only set up i've allowed this to happen so that when i take you to where i'm going to take you to nobody will be able to query me [Applause] learn [Applause] learn from those who have gone before i say i will tell you a second story some of you have had it before when i became general vaisya our church was very rich then if you know the many of rich so rich that i had to sell my car you may not believe it for quite a while i was traveling by bus and then i collected my gratuity have worked for the government for 27 years they put everything together they paid me in my graduates it was a lot of money then [Music] i was happy now at least i have money to live on for a while while the church is growing and there are a lot of results that i just felt hey i'm under a new management i'm not working for any university or anybody i'm working for god now let me ask my employer what does he want me to do with the money i thought he would say son pay your tithe give an offering enjoy the rest he said son divide it into three he said he said i am glad you asked divide the money into three give one talk to this ministry i say yes lord [Applause] he said give the second one thought to this ministry my yes lord went down was seriously praying hoping he would let me keep the remaining wanted but he said give the remaining one talk to such and such a ministry it was difficult to say yes lord but he made a promise he said i will be your source i will be your source so if you see all that god is doing for me and you are jealous you are wasting your time because you haven't seen anything yet [Applause] stand on your feet if you haven't surrendered your life to jesus christ you just wasted your time expecting miracles miracles are for children of god not for just anybody so if you want to surrender your life to jesus you better come now the rest of us let's cry to the almighty god and say father the grace to exceed all expectations in serving you give to me this morning open your mouth and cry to the almighty god i want to exceed all expectations in serving you give me that grace you want to exceed in prosperity you have to exceed in serving god in serving him [Music] nothing goes for nothing so if you want to give your life to jesus christ hurry up because very soon i'll be praying for salvation and then [Music] will be closing nothing goes for nothing you want to exceed in prosperity you have to exceed in the service of god you have to exceed in your
