Sunday’s broadcast ‘A Message To The Rebuilders’ was somewhat eye-opening. I felt like this message birth something so powerful in me.
I recorded that message with the intention of encouraging rebuilders, but this message has had me in a chokehold all week.
I taught on Isaac in Genesis 26 re-digging his father’s wells. Upon each attempt, both he and his herdsmen were met with hostility from the herdsmen of Gerar.
What was significant was that in those days, re-digging wells was an act of war. Isaac and his men re-digging his father’s well was a declaration of war between he and the herdsmen of Gerar. These men were Philistinians and upon teaching this on Sunday, the Lord has taken me deeper since.
What was significant about this passage of scripture from verses 17-21 of Genesis 26, was every time Isaac and his men dug a well, the herdsmen of Gerar filled it with dirt.
Have you ever felt like every time you put your mind to build and to obey the Lord concerning your personal blueprint, here comes strife, disagreements and unnecessary tension? You my friend, sister and brother, are dealing with a Philistinian spirit.
This passage of scripture shows so much strategy in how to deal with this spirit. In this season, the Lord is calling you to rebuild again. With rebuilding, will come resistance but you must rebuild. Isaac and his men try to rebuild two wells Esek and Sitnah. He named the first well, Esek which means contention or strife. He named the second well, Sitnah, which means opposition and accusation. If you are experiencing contention, strife, opposition and accusation- don’t be disheartened, this comes with the territory of being a builder. Whatever vision you have dropped as a result of your well being stopped by analogical dirt, it is time to re-dig your wells.
What I loved about Isaac and his men in verse 22, is that it starts by saying, “And he removed from thence and digged another well”. In the original text, the word used to identify this move is “incognito”. In other words, they moved in silence. For you to experience your Rehoboth season, you must move incognito. During the broadcast, I mentioned that a builder’ greatest weapon in this season is firstly focus and secondly silence. To overcome the Philistine spirit, you must be focused and you must move in silence. Now understand this, the battle is the Lord’s so remain vigilant to receive the strategies of the Lord. That is what will give you victory and leverage in this season.
Another enlightening moment during the broadcast was that God has a Beersheba waiting for you. Don’t settle at Rehoboth. Beersheba means the well of the sevenfold oath.
God wants to complete you, bless you and enlarge your territory.

Prayer: Father in the name of Jesus, Lord I love You and I adore You. Father, I thank You that You have empowered and have strengthened me to build again. Father, I pray that You will release Your angels of war to remove every philistine spirit working against my creativity and vision. Father, I pray to irrigate and purge out every well that has been stopped up by contention, opposition, accusation and strife. Father intensify my focus and teach me how to move in silence in the name of Jesus Christ amen.
