After Isaac sowed in the land and reaped a hundredfold return, the Philistines envied him.
They became hostile, filling up Abraham’s wells with sand. But Isaac didn’t stop. He kept digging new wells, and God gave him success despite their opposition.
Why didn’t the Philistines dig their own wells? Instead, they focused on obstructing Isaac’s progress. This is a hallmark of failures – excuses, blame, complaints, and accusations.
They even resorted to unprovoked anger and hostility towards the successful.
I’ve faced similar challenges. Neighbors and pastors have tried to antagonize me, but I ignored them and continued to make progress. Now, those same pastors are inviting me to preach to their members, acknowledging my success.
The lesson is clear: don’t give up. Keep digging more wells, and stop complaining.
Your success will be evangelical, showcasing the evidence of your faith. Remember, use your strength to make progress, don’t bark at dogs. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
I remain your friend, Dr. Charles Apoki. You are my responsibility.
