One of the dangers of favor, blessings and increase is we can fall into the trap of believing we earned it, we deserve it, for we worked hard for it. It can become a one man show idea when success happens, but no one is successful in a bubble. There are so many components that make someone prosper, but the danger is in the ignorance of what brought about what you are walking in. 

We are a team. Nothing happens in a vacuum. The idea that one person can change the world, the church, the nation, is absurd. God called one family to leave Ur of the Chaldeans, this included Terah, Abraham, Lot, Sarah and others. It was a family that left not one man. 

From this family, Abraham was called to go beyond Haran where his father died and to go the land God would show him, Lot came with him as did Sarah and many of their servants and supplies. From Abraham came Isaac and Ishmael, then from Isaac came Jacob and the the 12 tribes of Israel, who created the nation we know call Israel. 

Favor, success, prosperity, increase is a team effort. There are no self-made men or women, despite what we may have been taught. Everything is a team bringing about God’s dream.

Genesis 26 is God speaking to Isaac and the Lord says, “I will make your descendants multiply as the stars of heaven; I will give to your descendants all these lands; and in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed; because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.”

Isaac was favored, blessed, set up for success because of Abraham’s obedience. Friends, we are standing on the shoulders of many who went before us, all the way back to Abraham. This is not about me, this is not about you, this is about us advancing the kingdom of God on earth, together. This is why no man or woman can take the glory, because it is the story of God working with us His people.

We are temporal, He is eternal. We add value in our generation, but those who went before us and those who come after us will add value as well, for we are in a kingdom that knows no end. This is bigger than one person, for this is a move of God that cannot be stopped, this is eternal and we are blessed to live during one of the kingdom manifestations on earth.
