    Three Symbols Of Spiritual Success

    Contributed by Rodelio Mallari on Oct 14, 2010
    based on 8 ratings
     | 11,947 views

    There are three things in the life of Isaac which are symbolic of the conditions for a believer who desires to have spiritual success.

    Intro: Isaac was the son of a famous father (Abraham) and the father of a famous son (Jacob, who was Israel). But being the son of Abraham and the father of Jacob was NOT the key to his spiritual success. Isaac himself lived a life of obedience and faith in God. Read Gen. 26:25. We find 3 things ...read more

    When opposition comes, like Isaac, persevere by remembering the promises of God until even your enemies recognize God’s presence in your life. Or to put it more simply: trust God and dig another well.

    Just because you are in the Promised Land or under the promises of God does not mean that you will not encounter problems. Isaac was in the promised land yet he was harassed and beset with problems. Yet despite all, God will bring you out.

    Right at the moment that Isaac is about to celebrate his success by discovering water on the well, the Philistine snatched his rights and took over the same well by force. By the way, it is the third time that they deliberately did it. Will Isaac give up?

    Abraham left Isaac an inheritance, the Philistines robbed him of that inheritance. Isaac took the proper steps to reclaim what was rightfully his. There is a great lesson for us in this text as well.

    Isaac was a man of faith, peace, and obedience. He experienced God’s blessings and was part of the covenant lineage. However, his mistakes in parenting show us the dangers of favouritism and spiritual blindness.
