    Isaac copied the spiritual journey of Abraham, trying to experience for himself, the Living God. He traveled the same places, rebuilt the same altars, told the same lies, redug the same wells, etc. And he DID find God. We need to also mimic our fathers to meet their God!

    The Contention Is Over

     | 158 views

    Your season of contention is giving way to a season of fruitfulness. Like Isaac, you may have faced opposition, envy, and rejection, but keep digging. Don’t settle at Esek (strife) or Sitnah (hostility). God is leading you to Rehoboth—a place of peace, purpose, and prosperity.

    THE CONTENTION IS OVER By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Genesis 26:18-22 "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 ...read more

    Isaac was fearful, he was surrounded by those who envied him and treated him unfairly, but God was with Isaac. Our fears and difficult situations are all known to God and He can turn everything around if only we learn to trust Him wholeheartedly.

    For our study and meditation today let us read Genesis 26:23-24, From there Isaac went to Beersheba. The LORD spoke to him that night and said, "I am the God of your father Abraham. Don't be afraid. I am with you, and I will bless you. I will make your family great. I will do this because ...read more

     | 173 views

    God is a God of enlargement. From the beginning of time, His desire for man has always been to grow, expand, and take dominion. Enlargement is not just about physical space or material prosperity; it is a spiritual mandate that reflects God’s nature in us.
