Do your assignment: Work in the place God has given you and God will bless you in ”that” land

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 

God told Isaac to work in the land to which HE had assigned him, and HE would bless him in that land, in that assignment.  (Gen. 26:12)

 

Recently I was working with a woman in a problem she was having and she had been struggling with for several months.

 

God brought the following scriptures to my mind which revealed to me the source of her problem:

 

Joshua 2:8   They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

 

II Corinthians 10:5  Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

 

The solution for her in this problem was for her to focus on doing her own assignment as wife and mother.  She had been thinking of that which others, her husband & daughter, were doing and might be doing, and her mind was troubled by such.  No doubt devils were bringing suggestions to her concerning that which others were doing and that was troubling her.  But devil is a liar so thoughts that were coming to her to trouble her were likely wrong.

 

What she needed to do was consider the assignment God had given to her and to do that work with all her heart:

 

* Help meet for her husband.  

 

Genesis 2

 

7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into HIS nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there HE put the man whom HE had formed.

 

18  And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

 

21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and HE (God) took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made HE a woman, and brought her unto the man.

 

She should pray often concerning "how she could help her husband" ... preparing meals and having his clothing ready for his work day. Keeping her house clean and orderly.  Keeping an atmosphere conducive to rest and peace. Refusing to focus on "lying vanities" concerning what he might be doing.  Instead doing her job as a wife and mother and busying herself with those activities.

 

Genesis 3

 

16 Unto the woman HE (God) said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

 

And I said to her:  "Your husband cannot understand spiritual things because he is not born again ...

so make him a chocolate pie."

 

She burst out laughing.

 

I Corinthians 2:14   But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

 

And she needs to care for her 5 adult aged children and live a godly life in front of all persons.

 

When she does these things, fulfilling the assignment given to her by God, she will be blessed by God and she will be a blessing to all others who come across her path.
