Prayer
O Lord our God, How excellent is thy name in all the earth……..
· So, let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight
· And let it fall on good ground and let it bring forth an abundant harvest in their lives.
· Touch my lips of clay, so I can preach your word with power, authority and convict those who contradict
· Take away every stony heart and replace it with a heart of flesh in Jesus’ name we pray
· So that lives will be changed, and destinies transformed in Jesus’ name.
Amen
Introduction
I hope you have your bibles with you today, if you do then please turn with me to Genesis 26:18-22
I also want you to get your pens and paper
· Note pads and iPads
· Ladies if you don’t have a pen just grab an eye liner or something
· As long as you right something down that’s ok with me
· Because they say the weakest pen is always better than the strongest memory
I remember I was 18 years, straight out of high school
· My brother and I hooked up with some friends and went the carnival
· I met this beautiful girl in, dark-skinned complexion like she had been kissed by the Sun
· We hanged out for a little while just dancing and talking trash like kids do
· Not long afterwards, it was time for her to go home
· So, I got my mac into perspective, and I said can I have your number
· Back in those days we didn’t have mobile phones
· All we had was the little black book if you old enough to know what I mean
So, smiled and she said “Do you have a pen, then I said nope”
· Fellas you always need to be prepared for battles.
Hallelujah
· Then all of a sudden, she put her hand deep down in a handbag
· And to my amazement she took out an old supermarket receipt and a well-used eyeliner
· And she scribbled her number down and gave it to me
· She became my 1st love and we dated for 3 years
· Just because she dared to write a number down her number in the most unconventional way
I’m here to let you know that God is about to give you and unconventional blessing and
· You might end up falling in love with Jesus not for 3 years but perpetually
· Hallelujah, Amen.
If you are ready, then let’s go
The Title
· So today, we are going to continue this week with our message “Digging Wells In A Dessert”
· And I’m sure by the end of this message, You will be extra motivated to keep on digging wells in the desert,
· Regardless of the trials and tribulations that may come your way
Background Introduction
For those who were not with us last week, let me give you a little recap of what you missed out on
We looked at a story of a man called Isaac, The Son of Fathern Abraham
· Who found himself the in middle of a severe famine?
· The famine was so bad
· That he had decided to relocate his family to Egypt in search of grain, food, a biscuit,
· Anything to sustain his family
· Have you ever been so hungry that beans on toast felt like a 3 course meal.
hmmmmmm
And on his way, Isaac did a pitstop at Gerar and that’s where he had an encounter with God
· And God said to him
· Do not go down to Egypt; but stay in the land of which I will tell you.
· And in that land, I will be with you, I will bless you and favour you,
· And as a matter of fact I will give all these lands to you see to your descendants and
· I multiply them as the stars of the heavens,
· And I will establish my covenant with you and carry out the oathwhich I swore to your father, Abraham.
Oh God what a way to be blessed
Today, may you be divinely connected to the same blessing that God spoke over Isaac
· May the unadulterated blessing of God Come upon you and a thousand generation
· And your family and your children and your children, children
· And the Lord bless you and favour you, enlarge your territory and
· Cause His face to shine upon you, that may you walk in good health, vitality and newness of life
· In Jesus name.
Amen x3
After a couple of years in Gerar, food was no longer the problem
· But now Isaac and his family were running out of water
· So, Isaac started on a water exploration program
· So, they dug the 1st well and the natives of the land took it away from him
· So, He dug the 2nd well and the war mongering tribesmen fought over that one also
· Not because he was a gentleman, but because he was filled with the Holy Spirit filled He just walked away again
· Because carnality or walking in the flesh will have landed him in fight
· At times in life, you need to know when the Battle is the Lords or when the Battle is yours
· But he walked away and dug a 3rd Well.
· And God shut the mouth of the opposition they did not quarrel over it
I believe they gave up challenging Isaac once they realized nothing will stop him from digging wells in the desert.
· They saw his determination in the midst of frustration
· Regardless of how much they opposed him,
· Regardless of how much they challenged him
· He persevered through the drama and through their wahala
· And kept on digging up wells in the dessert
The bible says He called the 3rd well Rehoboth,
· Meaning "broad places" or "room"
· And He testified that “For now the Lord has made room for us,
· Who: His children and those connected to the Abrahamic covenant; which included you and I?
· and said we shall be prosperous in the land.”
Who is ready for broad places?
· Who is ready to prosper not after but in this pandemic?
· Then may this be your portion and your testimony in Jesus name
· If this word is for you today,
· Then come on and put your hands up and wave them wherever you are
· Stamp your feet, Snap your fingers, Do your step and You could do it all by yourself
· Shaback the Lord somebody and give Him a crazy tehillah praise
· Cuz He’s worthy of your praise.
Hallelujah
The Message
Gen 26 Starting from Verse 18
Text: Gen 26:18
18 Now Isaac again dug [and reopened] the wells of water which had been dug in the days of Abraham his father,
19 But when Isaac’s servants dug in the valley (somewhere in the desert) and found there,a well of flowing with [spring] water,
20 the herdsmen of Gerar quarrelled with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, “The water is ours!”
So, Isaac named the well Esek (meaning quarrelling), because they quarrelled with him.
