ISAAC THE BLESSED Genesis 26

^{Genesis 26:19} And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.

When you walk in Genesis 26 can not measure up to that point was blessed Isaac. Well certainly the Lord Jesus who is the Source of living waters was with him is not the same for us today? If brother. We are so blessed that the Lord and I place us in Heaven, sitting with the Lord Jesus. Ephesians 2: 6 and raised us up with Him, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
John 4:10 Jesus answered and said, If you knew the gift of God and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.
Living Water is the opposite of stagnant water, dirty, the water current usually bring pure water that gives life, healthy, this is the water that Christ gives us, gives us life in abundance and gives us life, eternal life. The waters were found living water Jacob brought life health prosperity and a type of Christ.

Genesis 26: The first thing we will say about the Cap. It is the only chapter that talks about the life of Isaac. From the Life of Abraham and Jacob are several Cap. But Isaac is just this. Therefore, in this chapter concentrated form reflects what was his life.-This is one of the chapters that I greatly encouraged. -
This Chapter I is characterized by giving an injection of great encouragement in the Christian life to see what it was Isaac blessed even when I was a believer who is not known for being one of the giants of the faith. - \ Par
FIRST: I have to have an overview of this chapter. - To clean then draw in some of the many lessons that leaves the Life of Isaac to us: If you are teaching a group we do ask that listeners can give us lessons each bag of Isaac, while we read this chapter with the following order:
I) Isaac moves to Gerar and Guided by the Lord: Verse Genesis 26:1-6 (King James Version.)

¹ 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.

⁶ And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:

We see the same promises that God made to Abraham, for example "bless you" I also add, be with you, God will guide you where to go and Isaac obeyed, and when I call Abraham in gene 12. Lindas lessons for us.
II) The fall and weakness of Isaac.: 7-11 Vs had the same sin of his father Abraham. (Genesis 20:2 12:11 onwards and onwards)
 Parents How we take care of Example we give our children?, Also Pastors Example we give our brothers and we give Example believer!

III) was Isaac blessed him: When I pass by that Chapter excites me and encouraged me a lot. It is hard not to see how blessed encourages it was Isaac. Can see how far the Lord is with us in this difficult world.
Genesis 26:¹² 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.

¹⁵ For all the wells which his father's servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth.

¹⁶ And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.

¹⁷ And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.

Gen 26:¹⁹ And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.

Genesis 26:³² And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and said unto him, We have found water.
(Isa 65:13 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed ;
Psalm 37:19 Do not be ashamed in the evil time, and in days of famine they shall be satisfied.
IV) Isaac appreciate what was done in the past by his Father: V. 18 We speak well of him.
Gen 26:¹⁸ And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
We have to assess what has been done by our brothers in the past. Books Notes. Churches. Etc. Not to dig new wells. -
V) The maturity of Isaac:

²⁰ And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him.

²¹ And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.

²² And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.

²³ And he went up from thence to Beersheba.

The left the grounds and claimed he was going to dig elsewhere does not speak well of Isaac. And leaves us a great lesson on how to not have to be clinging to the things of this world are temporary. In this he was like his father. -
VI) Second Wind of the Lord God blessed Isaac:

²⁴ And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake.

²⁵ And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac's servants digged a well.

\ Par
VII) Even his enemies then sought peace with:

²⁶ Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army.

²⁷ And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?

²⁸ And they said, We saw certainly that the LORD was with thee: and we said, Let there be now an oath betwixt us, even betwixt us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee;

²⁹ That thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace: thou art now the blessed of the LORD.

³⁰ And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.

³¹ And they rose up betimes in the morning, and sware one to another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.

Pro 3:3 mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.
SECOND:
Some of the teachings that I draw are the following.
1) He was not a spiritual giant but he believed in the Lord:
2) It is Surprising because of the emphasis in this chapter is how God blessed him: When planted land. When digging wells.
3 - The Deal with Abimelech king of Gerar of the Philistines. The when I went directly contended elsewhere. - I'm surprised his Christian values ​​and his way of dealing with things in the world. -
