PIONEERS OF NEW FIELDS - For The Sake Of A Room Series 002
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."
God can ordain you a pioneer of a new field or niche. Contention is a spirit. If someone or some people are contending with you but are smiling, you could still feel the spirit and sense it in the atmosphere.
Not all contentions are bad. Some contentions are to help you. To relocate you into the centre of God's will for you. To relocate you from the bank of the waters into the moving stream where all life are. Look at Isaac. Look at how he was pushed from one place to another; even after one labour and the other.
Isaac lives up to God's Word that says, "as it concerns you, live in peace with all men" (Romans.12:18). On each occasion they strove with him that they were the ones who dug the well he dug, he left to go somewhere else to start or pioneer another work. That happened two times and he had to move or shift those two times. He could also have done that because he's a pilgrim in the land. However, irrespective of the reasons for having done that, his action reveals a man of peace. A man who believes in God's will. A man who knows that "no one can collect the will of God from him once found."
And that eventually happens. He was eventually compensated for all his losses and what we could call vain labour that he had done in those other two places. As they were shifting him (which God allowed), they tossed him to a place where he himself acknowledged that the Lord has made room for him. Do you know that he didn't have that testimony of the earlier two places that were collected from him? Not at all.
However, at arrival here, he could sense the peace, assurance and how this new land fits him. He senses God's guidance and involvement in his journey and gives off that cry, "now, we shall be fruitful in the land." Why? No more hostility or rival!
It means the Lord could have allowed or permitted them to have those two. It means God might have allowed to push Isaac to where he should rightly be. There's a place or a field to rightly be. You must be at the center of God's will. That's when you can be fruitful. That's when you can bring forth and multiply.
But the words that I heard were, "You'll pioneer! God is raising pioneers. Men who will start something new in a field or niche. Men who'll discover new fields even after many contentions with established scholars but who are jealous and envious of them." God is saying, "as they shift you and as you move, you'll eventually get to a loop and discover a Rehoboth that you could have to yourself. In such land or field, you can explore - dig wells and do as you'll like."
"This field will be all to yourself. No more interference. You'll have room to go to the left or to the right and do whatever comes to your mind." Who are those pioneers of new fields and niches God is calling out in Engineering, Art, Science, Medicine and any life work. Envy, contention might have taken place but it'll be taken over and ridden by God for your good.
PRAYER: Lord, carry me on until I reach my land of open space and fertile ground. I found and dig new wells.
