Matthew 6:21 “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Isaacs Prayer
Genesis 27:25-29 “Then he said, “Bring it near to me, that I may eat of my son’s game and bless you.” So he brought it near to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank. Then his father Isaac said to him, “Come near and kiss me, my son.” So he came near and kissed him. And Isaac smelled the smell of his garments and blessed him and said, “See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field that the Lord has blessed! May God give you of the dew of heaven and of the fatness of the earth and plenty of grain and wine. Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, and may your mother’s sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you, and blessed be everyone who blesses you!””

A spoken word - power of words
God spoke four words and brought creation into existence.
High value - smell of a field, let the peoples serve you.
Irreplaceable, Priceless, Unique
Vision of Special future - Great potential and bright future.

Deuteronomy 28:1–14 (ESV)
“And if you faithfully obey the voice of the Lord your God, being careful to do all his commandments that I command you today,
the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. And
all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the voice of the Lord your God.
Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the field.
Blessed shall be the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground and the fruit of your cattle, the increase of your herds and the young of your flock.
Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.
Blessed shall you be when you come in, and
blessed shall you be when you go out.
“The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before you. They shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.
The Lord will command the blessing on you in your barns and in all that you undertake. And
he will bless you in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
The Lord will establish you as a people holy to himself, as he has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in his ways. And
all the peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they shall be afraid of you. And
the Lord will make you abound in prosperity, in the fruit of your womb and in the fruit of your livestock and in the fruit of your ground, within the land that the Lord swore to your fathers to give you.
The Lord will open to you his good treasury, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hands. And
you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. And
the Lord will make you the head and not the tail, and you shall only go up and not down, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, being careful to do them, and if you do not turn aside from any of the words that I command you today, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

God’s Love and Mercy

nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations,
Nothing will ever separate your love from your people.
You are their God and they are your people.
You will faithfully and steadfastly love them for a thousand generations.
