Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the

 

same year an hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him.

 

And the man waxed great, and went forward, and

 

grew until he became very great (Genesis 26:12-13).

 

Our opening scripture gives us a good

 

glimpse as to the kind of life God has

 

ordained for us: one of consistent

 

progress. Our path in life is as the shining

 

light that shines brighter and brighter unto

 

the perfect day (Proverbs 4:18). This

 

parallels what Apostle John describes in

 

John 1:16, talking about the life of glory and success

 

that we have in Christ: "And of his fullness have all we

 

received, and grace for grace."

 

When it says, "grace for grace" it actually means

 

success heaped upon success; glory upon glory: a life of

 

ever-increasing splendour. This is the life that we have in

 

Him; therefore, always see increase. Aspire for more;

 

dare to dream bigger. See yourself birthing new ideas

 

and charting new frontiers; see yourself fruitful and

 

productive in the Kingdom. Some people function at a

 

certain level of productivity and wouldn’t aspire for

 

more until they get tired of that present level. You don’t

 

have to wait until you’re tired; keep advancing; keep

 

making progress.

 

There’re yet more "lands to conquer." Recall that at

 

Shiloh, Joshua challenged the children of Israel saying,

 

"For how long will you wait here, while there’s still so

 

much land for you to possess?" (Joshua 18:3). See and

 

apprehend your next levels of success, increase, victory

 

and promotion.
