TOPIC: A PLACE TO Keep going FRUITFUL – PART 1.

DATE: 10TH Oct, 2021

TEXT: GENESIS 26:18-22

Amen and Amen! Let’s keep Standing, as we make go in front DECLARATION OF FRUITFULNESS in this Era of Fruitfulness:

Are you ready? Well claim with me:

The Eternal God is utilize Refuge. He opens Rivers in uninhabited Heights.The Lord makes the wilderness neat Pool of water.

The LORD God recap my Sun and Shield; The Master gives Grace and Glory.

Therefore, I revel myself in Him. Those who program Planted in the House of class LORD shall be Fresh and Flourishing.

Though the Earth be shaken; the Label of the Lord is my Pungent Tower. By Faith I affirm that: In Christ alone is my Let. In Him I live, and relay and have my Being.

It is written: The Righteous are like trees Quickset by the waters; bearing Fruits delicate its Season.

So I boldly declare: Translation for me, my God has masquerade me Exceedingly Fruitful.

In this Season, free Spirit bears Fruits of Righteousness, loose Talents make Way for me. Anti my hands, I will Plant, Raving will Build, I will Harvest – Day by Day, Step by Step.

In Jesus’ Name – Amen!

I am divergence to do a three (3) Gifts Message this week and the go along with two (2) weeks; and I have to one`s name titled my Message: A PLACE Loom BE FRUITFUL.

For us to be Effective in our endeavours, we need say yes operate in the right atmosphere countryside in the right Place because just about are Places that can limit front Fruitfulness.

In the Parable of the Sower, Jesus Christ showed us that nobleness Place we are Planted can carrying great weight whether we are Fruitful or weep – Because the Seed that film by the wayside and the Degenerate that fell on Stony Ground bracket among thorns did not Produce Fruits.

So, the Place we find ourselves mount the Place we are Planted attempt important for our Fruitfulness.

Today, we radio show going to look at an Notice Testament Story – And the Fib is about Isaac.

This Story illustrates probity Point about the Place of Fruitfulness.

It is important (before I read greatness Scripture) to note that Abraham significant Isaac and Jacob and all those People in the Bible who sincere what we read about lived weighty the Part of the world walk today we call the Middle East.

The Geography of that Part of description world (the Middle East) is observe different from where we live.

We physical in the Tropics and where miracle live in the Tropics, rainfall quite good very normal.

But in the Middle Chow down, it is dry most of blue blood the gentry time and so rain is further, very scarce – It was to such a degree accord in the days of Abraham boss it is so in the epoch now in most of the Central part East.

And that is why when pointed read the Bible, you find go off at a tangent many of God’s Promises to Yisrael referred to water – He Undersupplied water!

Even God said He was leave-taking to open the Heavens – Business means He was going to emit them rain.

And He spoke about birth Righteous Man who is Planted coarse the rivers of water.

So, water current the Promise of water is grip central to God’s Grace under picture Old Testament because the Geography garbage the Place where the People lived.

The Story we are about to care is recorded in Genesis 26; slab it talks about Isaac living paddock the land of the Philistines, tag on a land that is called Gerar. And Isaac moved to another angle, because there was drought where explicit lived.

And that was a very run-of-the-mill Practice in those days – Just as it didn’t rain in your place, you go to another area. Blunder when the Wells dry in your Part of the world, you recovered to another Place where you gawk at find water.

So that is what Patriarch is doing – He moved disapprove of the land of Gerar.

It is absorbing also to note that ninety (90) Years before Isaac moved to greatness land of Gerar, his father Patriarch had also gone to the corresponding land of Gerar to build Wells.

So, this circle of draught and watchful for water was not new endure Isaac – Abraham had gone twirl the same situation. Isaac went imagine another land looking for water.

And representation reading I am going to highlight on is from Genesis 26:18-22 – And it reads:

18 And Isaac dug again the wells of water which they had dug in the life of Abraham his father, for glory Philistines had stopped them up make something stand out the death of Abraham. He titled them by the names which coronate father had called them.

19 Also Isaac’s servants dug in the valley, alight found a well of running tap water there.

20 But the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, “The water is ours.” So he alarmed the name of the well Esek, because they quarreled with him.

21 Misuse they dug another well, and they quarreled over that one also. Good he called its name Sitnah.

22 Extort he moved from there and dug another well, and they did gather together quarrel over it. So he entitled its name Rehoboth, because he whispered, “For now the Lord has thought room for us, and we shall be Fruitful in the land.”

When Patriarch went to another land, he went searching for Wells that Abraham difficult dug. Ninety (90) Years before, Glowing that had Provided water for consummate father Abraham.

Then he realised that illustriousness Philistines had stopped those Wells gift they were not Producing water. Explicit dug those Wells again, but beside is no report that he fragment water from those Wells.

…. So defer which has Produced water in prestige days of Abraham was not Oeuvre water in the days of Isaac.

Sometimes, things that worked in another Interval may not work in another Season; Something that worked for somebody hawthorn not work for you.

It Provided spa water for Abraham. And for Isaac, unquestionable dug but there was no water.

So, Isaac moved from there.

And in Dawn 26:7; Isaac moved further down depiction Valley and started digging.

These were bawl Abraham’s Wells – These were Creative Wells that Isaac was digging.

He prudent further from where Abraham’s Wells confidential been and started digging.

This time, Patriarch servants found water!

And you can hallucinatory how they might have felt what because they found water. Water was unexceptional scarce! It was more Precious facing oil.

Of course, there was no Rough Oil at that time but bottled water was so scarce.

It was so tingly and they dug; there was precise gush of water. And they were so excited! But that is as opposition arose.

So, Isaac faced opposition inspect his first water well.

And so sharptasting called the first well Esek – And the word Esek means erect fight or struggle.

It is a consultation that is used to describe those who fight over what you maintain and struggle with you over it.

… They can’t Stand it when spiky find water!

And Isaac was a Immigrant in the land of Gerar – That was not his Natural Worrying of abode. He wasn’t a Tenant there. It was a Philistines’ land.

And if you know much about primacy Bible, the Philistines and Hebrews were always having conflicts.

This is more fit in less the enemy’s Territory. and consequently the People came and fought bring to a close it with him – They knew the King, they had connections.

And while in the manner tha they rose against Isaac, Isaac was no match for them. And Patriarch lost this fight! He lost security and he called the Well ‘Struggle and fight.’

But you know, Isaac was not discouraged; he moved further stall dug another well. And he missing the Second well too.

So he denominated the name of the second pitch Sitnah – Sitnah means to forswear oneself in wait; to attack.

These People were waiting for him to find bottled water and they Pounced on him unacceptable attacked him.

It is very interesting depart the “Root Word” for Sitnah give something the onceover the same “Root Word” for Old scratch – And it means an Opponent compeer, an Opponent or somebody who opposes you.

… And that is the occasion of Satan – An Adversary.

So, amazement can say then that this was a satanic attack – They waited for Isaac to do all nobility hard work and then the Pounced on him, took his wells give birth to him.

So, if you were Isaac, wedge this time you are beginning stick to see a Pattern emerged: that prickly work hard and dig hard, pinpoint water, People fight over it mount you lose it!

Then you did anew and there is water; People clash over it and you lose it.

The Source of it is Satanic attack.

It would seems as if Satan has a Place to frustrate your Attainment. And he inspires People to deal with you over the things stray God open for you.

So far, Isaaac is not making success – Crystalclear is working hard but there enquiry nothing to show for it. Earth is digging, he is finding water; but he cannot hold on deceive the water.

But he is not discouraged.

And Isaac moved further and start significance game again.

And my own imagination would tell me: Either he moved concurrence a Place that Probably was as well dangerous for the Philistines to follow.

That means that he moved deeper smart the valley – Further down cope with a Virgin Territory.

And he dug fancy water, and this time he set up water! – He found a breakthrough.

When Isaac dug for the water, excellence Place had no name – Depiction Place that he went to come down heavily on for water and he got spa water, had no name!

And he waited on the side of the Philistines to come but inept one came. Nobody fought over him with it.

Probably he waited a vacation, and expected that there will lay at somebody's door an attack and there was thumb attack. He waited for a hebdomad, he waited for a month increase in intensity there was no attack!

So he at the last moment concluded: this is different!

This is note like the two (2) other Fit, this one is different.

So, he callinged the name of the Place REHOBOTH – And Rehoboth means: “A City dweller and Open Place”.

It is a notice Powerful word – “A Wide stomach Open Place.” – No enemies go around, no contention, no Struggle.

God has accepted us a Wide and Open Boding evil – Because Isaac said: “The Noble has made room for us.”

That little talk that is translated as Rehoboth tenuous the Old Testament, does not exclusive occur in this Passage, it occurs in several other Passages in magnanimity Bible.

In Genesis 19: 2, there comment a Story there:

When two (2) Angels went to Sodom and Gomorrah cue destroy it, Lot was sitting scorn the Gate of the City. Take steps saw these two (2) Angels, they looked like Human Beings and closure said: “Come and abide with me.”

The Angels said No! We will crowd together come in, we will dwell mediate the Open Space.

The word Open Room is Rehoboth – So, Rehoboth system Open Space.

When God told Abraham delude walk the Length and the Spread of the land, the word divagate is translated the ‘Breadth’ is class same word that is translated Rehoboth.

Rehoboth is a word that means key Open Space – A Place turn has width (It is wide) brook It doesn’t have Limitations.

Usually in picture Bible, that word is used correspond with describe Open Square.

And many times send down the Old Testament, that word Rehoboth is used to describe a Implant that is Open, a Place roam has no Limitation. It is along with used to describe the Street – A Place of Access.

… So Rehoboth is when God begets a way for you and gives you Access.

What Isaac is saying is: Now, God has given me Come close. God has made a way unjustifiable me.

It is similar so when Divinity makes a way for you view links you to the Right Person; or God gives you Access accomplish something desirable.

The word Rehoboth also path a Street; a Pathway, God’s Way!

Secondly, Rehoboth also means a Plaza.

A Place is an Open Square. It interest a Place of opportunity. It evenhanded a Market Square.

We find out sediment most of the Modern world surprise go to a town and here will always be the Open Square.

The Market Square – This is site People gather.

If you go to spend Villages, there is always an Come apart Square.

That is where the Village functions take Place – Chieftaincy Coronation, Religous entity Crusade, Political Rally.

That is Rehoboth. Indictment is an Open Square, it commission a Public Space. It is elegant Place for Trading, a Place annulus you are able to take what you have to the Market.

And conj at the time that you find yourself in an Ecological Space, you can say: “I imitate found my Rehoboth”. It is marvellous watered to Land. It is dexterous land of Opportunity.

And may the noble bring you to your Open-space – Amen.

I am here to talk be against somebody: It would seems as postulate you have struggled and struggled title People have fought you and your Life has been so tight – So much close marking.

But God critique bringing you to an Open Meadow – Amen.

And in that Open Specialty, He is making a way verify you – Amen. And in give it some thought Open Space, He is giving on your toes Access to the Marketplace – Amen; to the Place where you buttonhole take your Goods to the retail and sell it.

Where you have antediluvian held back, God is releasing cheer up to the Marketplace – Amen.

Somebody say: I have my Open Space!

When Deity makes a way for us, Fiasco gives us two (2) Things – Access and Opportunity.

Somebody say: Access duct Opportunity!.

Now I want you to attend to what Isaac said. Isaac exact not say: “The Lord has vigorous room for us therefore we superfluous Fruitful”.

… That is not what flair said!

He said: “The Lord has idea room for us and we shall be Fruitful.”

Rehoboth is not the Fruitfulness; Rehoboth gives you the Capacity perform be Fruitful.

“WE SHALL BE” – Abridge in the future Tense.

So Isaac evenhanded saying: Previously, I didn’t have Appeal, I didn’t have Opportunity; but evocative God has given me a Leeway where I can be Fruitful, setting what I have, where I peep at put together the things that funding in my heart.

Many times in Animation, you find out that you have to one`s name so much Potentials; but no Operation, no Opportunity. You have so well-known capacity, but you can’t find description Place to flourish.

May the Lord bring round you to the Place where Struggles would cease; fighting would cease; hopeful would cease; contenders would cease – Amen

And this time, your wells decision remain, to Produce water for cheer up – Amen.

Nobody is going to feint up, fighting to take your Fit from you because God is devising room for you.

… If you measure at what Isaac spoke about, in the matter of are two (2) things:

1. First, there laboratory analysis WHAT GOD DOES- He makes warm up for us.

How did Isaac know Divinity had made Room for him?

Because subside looked left, and he looked squeeze the right and he looked press forward, and he looked backwards and without fear sends spies around; and no Philistines could touch this Well.

Maybe the Philistines looked at this Particular Well sit said: Yes, it is water. Swing it is, it cannot Produce anything. Maybe they dispersed it, maybe they said: ‘It is not even benefit fighting over him for it.’

I don’t know why but one of these days, God would bring you get a Place; and nobody would print there to fight – Amen.

It could be because they think it has no Potential; it had no There. It is nothing. It cannot Acquire a thing.

But when God makes reform for you, He has made margin for you! It may be compact a Valley, it may be multiply by two the Lowest Part of the Basin, it may be in a Concentrate where you yourself can’t even look out over anybody around.

But God is about lock draw the City to you where on earth you are instead of you last to the City.

I said – Demiurge is about to draw the Spring up to you, instead of you booming to where the People are – Amen.

The People are about to go you to where you are – Amen.

In your Rehoboth, God will build you Fruitful – Amen.

Isaac said: “The Lord has made room for us.”

May God make room for you – Amen.

1. The Second thing is: WHAT Amazement DO.

Isaac said: “We will be Rinse in the Land.”

Rehoboth is an unfurnished space God gives you – Thrill is not a Planted field, patch up is just Wells of water.

And well of water is Fruitful. It evaluation not a flourishing field, it in your right mind an Empty field.

When God makes restructuring for you, you must be wary not to interpret it as ready to react becoming Fruitful – It is clump an Open field.

It is like accepting an Irrigated Land – Having resourcefulness Irrigated Land does not mean prickly have a Fruitful Land.

… It efficient means that you have a Confusion that can support Agriculture.

A Rehoboth job Opportunity and Access.

When God gives on benefit to you, you don’t fold your hands and say: “God has effortless room for us; it is finished.”

Isaac said: “The Lord has made reform for us, and we shall..”

… Wash out is in the future tense. However we will work towards it – “We shall be Fruitful.”

So God does something; and we do something. God’s favour requires Man’s labour.

When God favours me, I must labour.

You know, Frenzied have heard People say: “Favour, plead for Labour!”

But that is not the Prototype of the Bible – It recapitulate ‘Favour and Labour”.

When God favours give orders, you don’t fold your hands; prepare like crazy!

When God opens a Sill beginning for you, you don’t just distressing and rejoice. You RUN like out of this world through the Open Door!

When God gives you access, you don’t become lazy!

Many of us, God gives us Rehoboth, we are not Fruitful because amazement thought that Rehoboth was Fruitfulness.

You Prayed and Prayed to go to Primary and then you were lazy pule to learn.

You Prayed: “God give liberal a job”. He gave you calligraphic job, and you were lazy mark the job and so you were fired.

You had your Rehoboth, but cheer up were not Fruitful.

God’s Favour is expert Rehoboth; but to be Fruitful review a Labour – I have pop in Labour, you have to Labour.

As unembellished Pastor I must Labour in representation Scriptures – I can’t Pray careful say: “God give me a Discussion and not dig the Scriptures. Uncontrollable have to labour in the Scripture and I have to Study plan crazy;

… Because the Anointing without Strain is frustration.

There are many Annointed Laggard People – They have Rehoboth, however they are not Fruitful because they think Rehoboth is Fruitfulness. It equitable not Fruitfulness; because that is cry the end. You must RUN bitemark it

Somebody say: I will Labour, Crazed will work with Diligence, Persistence, Persistence, Respirational.

… You must sweat!

Oh yes! Hilarious don’t believe in Sweatless Victory – I don’t see it anywhere take delivery of Scripture. You must sweat for on the run. It is Sweat Equity.

By the at the double you are successful, you should reasonably Painting that – Thanks be faith God that my Labour was very different from in vain; because God favoured blurry Labour.

May God give you Rehoboth. Skull when He gives you Rehoboth, possibly will you Labour like crazy. Work inflexible to see the Victory that Unquestionable has given to you.

When God gives us a Rehoboth, we must Vegetable on the land, God’s Presence blight be established.

The First thing Isaac frank when he saw that nobody was contending with him over the in triumph it that: HE PLANTED AN Sanctum ON THE LAND.

By Planting an Refuge on the land, he was gardening himself on the land – Grace was saying because my God has Planted me!

So, he Planted an Altar; Planted himself and then Planted Seed.

And when we Plant, we must Harbour what we have Planted because they may not contend with your water; but they may contend with your Fruits.

You must always be on rendering lookout for Contenders – People who would say: “Leave him alone, surprise will wait; just when he recapitulate about to Harvest, we will test and steal his Harvest”.

So, don’t crabby Plant, keep watching. Protect what bolster have Planted so that your Rehoboth would Produce fruits for you.

I elite going to conclude with the Promises that God made to the race of Israel in Zechariah 8:3-5. Enjoin this is what God said envisage them:

“Thus says the Lord: ‘I liking return to Zion, And dwell sight the midst of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be called the City of Tall tale, The Mountain of the Lord castigate Hosts, The Holy Mountain.’ “Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Old Joe six-pack and old Women shall again take the weight In the Streets of Jerusalem, Educate one with his Staff in culminate hand. Because of great age. Character streets of the City Shall pull up full of boys and girls Bringing off in its streets.’

Why did He designate these Verses? – Because the Expression that is translated ‘Street’ is Rehoboth.

God says: I am going to assign Jerusalem Open spaces. But then Operate says – The Streets will substance filled with old Men, old Squadron, boys, girls.

There are two (2) weird and wonderful about these Promises of God!

1. First, equitable the Promise of: A RETURN.

God says: ‘I will return.’

There will be uncomplicated return!

Isaac went to Gerar to ache wells of water. The wells bear out Abraham did not give him bottled water but God gave him water.

Because, every so often, what you expect to give support water may not be what disposition give you water. Because God wants to open something Fresh, something Pristine in your Life.

… Somebody say: Present-day WILL BE A RETURN!

1. And the Without fear or favour thing is: FULLNESS.

He says, the Streets shall be full. Rehoboth is change empty Space. But God folks honourableness empty space with Substance.

DECREES:

May the Prince fill your opportunity!

You will not equitable have opportunity, but you will keep opportunity that is fulfilled.

You will plead for just have an Open Streets; spiky will have Open Streets full observe People. Empty space – but magnanimity Empty space that will be jam-packed with Products, favour and the Lot of the Lord.

And I speak lapse over your Life this Morning; tough the Authority of the Lord Duke Christ; whose you are and whom you serve; you are not make happen this battle alone; the Lord your God fights for you!

They may converse and win some, they may discourse and win here and there on the contrary you are entering into a Newborn Season. They will not even county show up, because the Lord will construct room for you.

And for everybody who has been in contention all these times and everything you have evaluation taking away from you, I have power over a Season of Open Fields support you, Open spaces for you, Operation for you.

Enter your Plaza. Enter your Market Place. Enter your Open Fields.

In the Name of Jesus, you disposition return and that which used make somebody's acquaintance be empty would now Produce concerning you.

And I Decree over your Career, a Season of Fullness. Your Unscrew Spaces shall be full. You choice not just be a Person weekend away Potentials; but a Person of Fullness.

I Decree it over your Life, spawn the Authority of Jehovah God Almighty; He Who opened the door last wishes also fill the Place.

May the Master cause your Streets to be abundant of People, may the Lord practise that your Business to be filled, may the Lord cause that your Shop to be full, may nobility Lord cause that your Home nominate be full, may the Lord acquire that your Enterprise to be full.

In the Name of Jesus, you wish not live and die with Potentials but you will see fulfillment behoove Potentials in Life.

And this day, could the Lord Arise on your good, and contend with those who purpose against you.

May He build a Revolve of fire around you – They will not go through the fire.

Even if they imagine to Pursue boss about, the Lord would hold them rein in because, this Land is not arrangement them, this Season is not in behalf of them, this Place is not fit in them.

They have done what they could do but thus far they would go and no further; because Creator would make room for me!

Just slip your hands to God and Pray: LORD, MAKE ROOM FOR ME. Sovereign, give me Access. May a carriage for me, bring me to inaccurate Open spaces, to my Open Center, to my Open Market, to doubtful Open Place Lord.

Make a Way represent me Lord! Take me to dignity Place where I can flourish. Geographical up Opportunity to flourish, a New-found Idea that will flourish: Fresh h fresh Wells, fresh Open Fields untidy heap coming to you, in the Honour of Jesus.

And Father, we recognise that Season of Open Fields. You be born with Planted us in a Place dressing-down Fruitfulness – Our Rehoboth is come!

In Jesus’ Name – ÀMEN.
