“Celebrating The Way Maker At Rehoboth”
#Genesis 26:22-25 ( KJV)
By Rev. Dr. Iniobong F. Udoh.
Seasons Isaac Went Through:
In the course of the famine, Isaac has to go through 12 seasons
1. He had to go through a season of famine, and God made a way for him.
2. A season of instruction, He made a way for Isaac in the midst of the difficult situation.
3. A season of obedient despises prevailing hard circumstances. Whenever man obeys God he signs a covenant with God to make a way.
4. A season of fear Genesis 26:7 (KJV). God still made a way for him, his fear was unnecessary. God made a way for him and restrain the men from taking his wife.
5. He sowed in the land; naturally people don’t sow during famine. God made a way and none of his seeds died.
6. Season of envy, regardless God made a way for Isaac.
7. They told Isaac to leave, Genesis 26:16(KJV). It was a season of eviction for no just cause, because he enjoyed the way God made ways for Him.
8. A season of repeated battles.
9. It was a season of strive, God still made a way for Isaac. Genesis 26:20(KJV).
10. The season where your friends become your enemy
11. A season of continual relocation because of battles. There is always a way made for peace makers.
12. A season of rest at Rehoboth. God gave Isaac rest and made sure he entered his seventh day. Rest means to take a break from multiple struggles.
Things to note about the help of God:
1. The help of God ensures you are not vulnerable in life.
2. It ensures that your welfare is taken care of. Psalm 46:1-2(KJV). There was famine in the land but God took care is Isaac and his entire family, Psalm 46:1(KJV). The help of God is the most reliable.
Why did Isaac decide that God has made a way for him?
1. Isaac must have looked back and realize God made a way for him even when he didn’t ask God. Hebrews 4:16 (KJV)
2. God made his enemies to seat with ease with him and made a covenant with him.
Take a stock of what God has done for you while forgetting what has not been done. Thank God for all the things He has done for you.
Prayers:
1. Tell God to make a way for you.
2. Lord as your favour located Isaac may your favour locate us.
3. Lord may we enter our season of rest today.
4. Lord make a way for us as a Nation.
Song:
God will make a way.
Declaration:
We declare that all pains be removed from our lives.
