The Significance Of Spiritual Wells
Contributed by Bode Ayodele on Nov 28, 2017 (message contributor)
Summary: Wells represent life, prosperity and abundance. No wonder numerous biblical characters from Abraham to Isaac, Jacob and Moses -even our Lord Jesus Christ had a story to tell besides a well. What is the significance of wells? What kind of wells do we have
Or, on the other hand, if you notice difficulties where you easily experienced success before, it is likely that the wells of favour and goodness in your life have been blocked by the enemy.
In both cases you need to pray fervently to reverse the situation.
Please take the following prayer points:
I excavate every well of prosperity in my life that my enemy has filled with sand in the name of Jesus.
I fill up with sand every evil well the enemy has dug in my life in the name of Jesus.
Apart from the fact that Isaac inherited wells from his father, God also blessed him with wells.
We read in Genesis 26:19-22
And Isaac’s servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
And the herdsmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, the water [is] ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him.
And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.
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 land.
Here we read about a well of springing water.
There must have been something good about those wells for the Herdsmen of Gerar to strive, not just for one, but two of them.
When Isaac eventually dug a well that was not strived for he said that it was a sign that he would prosper in the land.
This statement indicates that he realised wells represent prosperity.
Many of us have had our wells of prosperity blocked by spiritual Philistines. Such wells shall be dug out today.
Jacob.
Jacob, in a similar fashion to his father, located his wife, besides a well.
The bible says that the well was covered with a great stone. Rachael the daughter of Laban who came with her father’s sheep could not move it.
The Lord used Jacob to help her roll the stone away.
Genesis 29:8-10
(9) And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep: for she kept them.
(10) And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother’s brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother.
If you read the preceding verses you will realise that there were others at the well that wanted to, but could not fetch water from the well, because of the stone.
Is there a well of blessings before you that has been blocked by the stone of the enemy? The angel of God will roll away the stone today in the name of Jesus. Please take the following prayer point.
Oh Lord, help me to roll away any stone at the mouth of my well of goodness in the name of Jesus.
When Isaac was to bless his children he described Joseph, the inheritor of his blessings, as a bough by a well.
(Gen 49:22) Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:
“Branches run over the wall” signifies that his wealth shall be a blessing to others.
