God called Abraham and told him \”In blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies. In your seed all the nation\’s of the earth shall be blessed because you have obeyed My voice\”. (Genesis 22:17-18).
There was a famine in the land besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, in Gerar. Then the Lord appeared to him and said \”Do not go down to Egypt ; live in the land of which I shall tell you. Dwell in this land, and I will bless you for to your descendants I give all these lands and I will perform the oaths which I swore to Abraham your father\”. (Genesis 26:1-3).
Then again while Isaac was in Gerar dwelling amongst the Philistines, the king of Philippines assured him of his safety and called his people and issued out warning and said 11 \”And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
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: 11-14).
The fact that God designed obedient and humility for greatness is clearly stated in the Bible as has been stated in the verses we read in both Genesis 23:17-18; and Genesis 26:1-3 & 11-14.
In today\’s palace however, many people still doubt this reality despite the record in Genesis 1:26-30 where God decided to create mankind in His own image and likeness. He commanded them to be fruitful, multiply, replenish the earth, subdue it and also to have dominion over all creation. God did not only bestow greatness on humanity in Genesis 1:26-28, He also ensured all creation was subjected to man.
Though the fall of Adam and Eve (Genesis 3:1-19) marred this divine plan, there was suffering and death but thereafter the resurrection of Jesus Christ has restored the lost glory to humanity (John 17:22).
For this reason, the Bible emphasises that God’s design for greatness remains intact in every born-again child of God according to 1st Peter 2:9 that says: “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:”
This is profound and in high demand of Every child of God living in obedient to God and is committed to spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ; is bound to experience greatness. Therefore, searching for greatness through dubious, sinful, immoral, or criminal means is merely a demonstration of foolishness. Seeking for greatness anywhere apart from God is an exercise in futility.
The power of God to make you great rests squarely on His personality as the Almighty and unlimited God. If you desire to be great, do not waste your money, time and energy in pursuit of greatness outside God; it will end in disappointment and failure (Matthew 16:27). Surrender your life and ambition for greatness to Jesus today then He will save your soul and make you great indeed – far beyond your wildest imagination. Praise God!.
