Some people feel that life has not given them a fair chance to succeed. They complain and say that if only they were born to better parents, or went to better schools, or had better jobs, or inherited a better property, they would have succeeded.
But do you know that many of our Bible heroes had disadvantaged beginnings? Abraham had to make do with the land Lot rejected. Isaac stayed in a land of famine while everyone had left for Egypt. Joseph went from being a privileged son to becoming a slave and then a prisoner. Yet, all of them eventually prospered in spite of their predicaments.
The story of Isaac in Genesis 26 reveals the secret to these men's success. It shows that (1) We should stay where God puts us and WORK our land no matter what its condition may be, (2) We should WORK according to His instructions (law or Torah) and obey Him in every way. If we do these, as Joshua 1:8 says, we will make our ways prosperous.
This is the testimony of our farm. People would often ask us why we did not choose a better land. They say the farm is just too far, too rough and too difficult to manage. I would tell them, "Ito lang ang binigay ni God sa amin, so ang puwede lang naming gawin ay pagyamanin ito." Since we did not have access to extra funds, we set ourselves to WORK and make do with what we had. And after 18 years, we have converted this barren land into a fruitful garden.
Whatever your lot in life, if you WORK on it according to the ways of the Lord you will experience the breakthroughs Abraham, Isaac and Joseph experienced. I believe God established our farm so that it can show the world what He can do with a barren land. Our farm is called Moriah Farms. Recently, I discovered that in Hebrew Mori-yah means "where God teaches." Yah is short for Yahweh and mori means to teach. In 2005, He also built Semilya Sa Kinabuhi through a series of miracles, which paved the way for us to be able to teach people His ways. We hope someday you can join our training programs so that we can help you experience your own breakthroughs.
