Gen. 26:12 still 100-fold

He received in the same year a 100-fold.  In Mk 10:30  we have a promise of 100-fold __in this life--.  Issaac received in his life.  Not have to wait to get to heaven.  The reason is that we need a house or land now in order to survive.  It couldn't be the credit or borrowing because they didn't have credit cards in Issaacs days.  He received within a year, not after 30 years of payments.  It is hard for people to wait for God to bring the 100-fold to them. 
Mk. 10:29 has the answer.  Jesus must have first place and we must give up all to proclaim the gospel. We have to find God's will for our life. If we love this world more than him we will have the world and not him.
He drives the point home that he will provide abundantly.
