Always go to God for your peculiar instructions. He wants to lead you differently from the experiences of the generations before you.
In Genesis 12, there was famine in the days of Abraham, and Abraham moved and went into Egypt. In Genesis 26, there was also famine in the days of Abraham’s son, Isaac. Isaac could have repeated the move of his father and gone to Egypt, but that would have been the wrong move for him. Instead, God told Isaac to sojourn in Gerar. His instruction was different from the instruction of his father. The divine leading for his father was to MOVE, his own divine leading was to STAY. You cannot just copy another person’s instructions, even for the same set of circumstances, and expect the same result.
Look at the result of Isaac’s stay in famine and a hostile land of the Philistines. Genesis 26:13 (AMPC) “And the man became GREAT and gained more and more until he became very wealthy and distinguished.”
Do not just do things because someone else did it and obtained good results or because everyone around you is doing it. Pursue your own divine leading and obtain divine results.
PRAYER: Holy Spirit, Your divine leading is the greatest source of wealth. Teach and instruct me in the way to go. Amen.
