CLOUD OF SIN< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?><\/strong><\/p>\n

Genesis 26:1-13<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the time of famine God told Isaac not to move to < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Egypt but to dwell where he was, and Isaac dwelt in Gerar. God that commanded Isaac not to move was able to provide and protect Isaac. When God gives command he backs the command with His commitment. Isaac\u00d5s obedience by not moving as God had commanded was accompanied with a lie to protect his wife from the people of the land. Isaac\u00d5s lie to protect his wife was a build up of a cloud of sin. Isaac\u00d5s lie to the king of Geraar was a claim that Rebecca was his sister not his wife. The telling of lies by Isaac went for a while but it could not last forever. The truth of Isaac\u00d5s lie was uncovered by Abimelechi. It is written Genesis 26:8, \u00d2Now it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech King of the Philistines looked through a window, and saw, and there was Isaac, showing endearment to Rebecca his wife.\u00d3<\/em><\/strong> Telling lies can go for long time but it will only take a moment for lies to be exposed. Lying does no good but only form a cloud of sin that will deny, delay or derail the blessings of God in the life of a liar. Isaac was in line on the ground of obedience but his step in the line of obedience was out of order. Half obedience is equal to zero blessing. A full obedience to the command of God will generate a fullness of His blessing. The uncovering of Isaac\u00d5s lie by Abimelech cleared off the cloud of sinful acts of lies by Isaac. It was recorded in Genesis 26: 11, \u00d2So Abimelech charged all his people saying, \u00d2He who touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.\u00d3\u00d3<\/em><\/strong> Isaac was free from his self created cloud of sin and he entered into the blessing of his obedience of staying in the land. The Bible recorded in Genesis 26:12, \u00d2Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the LORD blessed him. God is always in the business of blessing, if man remains with the lesson of obedience and living by the command of God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
