ARRIVAL AT REHOBOTH AT LAST - Leading to Indwell Series 006
Read Gen.26:12-22
Genesis 26:22, KJV
"And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land."
Rehoboth means room. You know I had said in previous teachings that God leads. One of the ways by which He leads is to make you unwelcome somewhere until you arrive where He wants you situated. Today's reading reveals Isaac as a man of peace. The Bible admonishes us to live in peace with all men. There are different men on this earth. As you go and grow in life, you'll begin to meet men like devils. Did you see the unfortunate and confrontational lie that men of Gerar told to have the well for themselves? The witness of the Bible is true as we know Isaac's servants were the ones that dug the well but look at some people appearing to claim ownership with all rights that pertains to it thereunto. Have you lived amidst people that always look for your trouble? They want an encounter. Let me show you how one man described them. It's not at all interesting.
Psalms 120:5-7,KJV
"5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar! 6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace. 7 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
When you live amidst people who envy you and see you as prospering too much, they will contest to claim what is yours as theirs. If your child plays with a doll and leaves it somewhere in the compound and their own child pick it, they'll claim they bought it last market day for him when it's obviously yours. How much will you be pained if you leave amidst such? If you're not experienced and taught by the Holy Ghost, you'll always live in frustration and sorrow of heart. Do you know why they're doing that? They want to curtail your prosperity. They believe by taking what is yours from you, they're reducing your possession and rendering you into an equal. That's why consequently in time, Abimelech, the King of Gerar himself told Isaac to depart from them because he's too great. You see, they couldn't contain him. Did you see envy there? But because of his own maturity, he rather called for separation without picking fight. Look, be for peace. May I tell someone that God will take you to Rehoboth. You might have searched in vain for a place called home. God said, "Rehoboth is just in your front". Isaac dug the first well, it was contested. He shifted. He dug another and they took that over again. If you're having this experience of having not found rest yet, of being not received here or later there, it means Rehoboth is in front. If God allows you to keep being shifted, His allowing it is to work a better place called Rehoboth for you. Rehoboth as we all know however comes last. Rehoboth may even be a spouse. The man that can give you a cover or the woman that will make home a place of rest for you. Series of relationship might not have worked but I decree Rehoboth over you. All this dangling here and there is to bring you to Rehoboth. The rocking of your boat can't sink it. It will toss it to the shore. Arrival in safety with nothing missing or broken is your covenant. That's how Joseph was envied, hated, shifted and sold into Egypt to near Rehoboth and the land God has destined for him to be governor of nations. God's leading is sure. How does He take us to Rehoboth again apart from people not welcoming us or opening their door to us. He does it by creating unsatisfactoriness in you to keep moving. You'll just have a gulf in you that nothing can fill and begin to develop motivation to relocate after feeling of great boredom or tiredness might have set in. At times, as you inspect where to settle, you won't like the house or neighborhood you're seeing. Something will just discourage you to say, not yet. So, the search continues. This is how it will continue until you get to Rehoboth - the room and rest God has prepared for you. When you get to Rehoboth, what you see will agree with an expectation inside you. May I tell you, destiny unfolds in Rehoboth because it's the land God wants you indwell. Be comforted, Rehoboth in front!
PRAYER: Lord, let all contest over my property stop. Use contest, rivalry, envy promote me to Rehoboth. Give me restful rest.
