Scripture Post #1,601: *CONTAGIOUS BLESSINGS!*

 

  

Genesis 30:27: 

"And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, [tarry: for] I have learned by experience that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake."

When the Hand of GOD is on your life and you're anointed by His great power, the atmosphere around you must yield to the greatness that is within you!!

This was the case for Jacob. His father-in-law, Laban, had little before Jacob lived with him in his land. Since Jacob's arrival, Laban experienced great increase in wealth/cattle (verse 30). It was because of the Hand of GOD that was upon Jacob's life that gave way for the ample increase in Laban's. 

Context:

Genesis 30:25: "And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country."

V. 26: "Give memy wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service which I have done thee."

V. 27: "And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, [tarry: for] I have learned by experience that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake."

V. 28: "And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it."

V. 29: "And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle was with me."

V. 30: "For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased unto a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?"
