• Eccl. 3 v 1

“To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:

• Genesis 41 v 29  – 31

v.29 “Indeed seven years of great plenty will come throughout all the land of Egypt;”

 v.30 “but after them seven years of famine will arise, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine will deplete the land.”

v. 31 “So the plenty will not be known in the land because of the famine following, for it will be very severe.”

• Joseph interpreting Pharaoh’s dreams of seven years of Famine and seven years of plenty.2

2. DURING FAMINE, YOU NEED DIVINE CONNECTIONS AND DIVINE DIRECTIONS.

v.1 “I will lift up my eyes to the hills From whence comes my help?”

v.2 “My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.”

Hebrews 12 v 2

“Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

Psalm 60 v 11

“Give us help from trouble, For the help of man is useless.”

• Isaac went to Abimelech King of Philistines for some possible interventions.

• God gave him an instant divine instruction,  “GO NOT DOWN TO EGYPT, DWELL IN THE LAND WHICH I SHALL TELL YOU”

Genesis 26 v 2 – 6

v.2 “Then the Lord appeared to him and said: “Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land of which I shall tell you.”

v.3 “Dwell in this land, and I will be with you and bless you; for to you and your descendants I give all these lands, and I will perform the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.”

 v.4 “And I will make your descendants multiply as the stars of heaven; I will give to your descendants all these lands; and in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed”

 v.5 “because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.”

3. DURING FAMINE IN THE LAND, FOLLOW GOD, DON’T FOLLOW THE CROWD.

“Show me Your ways, O Lord; Teach me Your paths.”

“Who walk to go down to Egypt, And have not asked My advice, To strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, And to trust in the shadow of Egypt”

• Follow God, don’t follow the crowd if you want to get to your Rehoboth.
• Your destiny is in your uniqueness and originality.
• You can’t make a difference until you are different.
• Don’t follow the crowd to mess up and bury your destiny.
• Don’t rely on human beings.

Man can change.

Man can fail.

Man can die but God cannot.

1 Cor. 2 v 5

That your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.

• If you look up to God, you will go up. If you look down to man, you will go down. If you look around, you will be hanging around.
• Cling unto god tenaciously to get to your Rehoboth.

4. ON YOUR JOURNEY TO REHOBOTH, DON’T GIVE UP TOO SOON.

Genesis 26 v 18 – 23

v.18 “And Isaac dug again the wells of water which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, for the Philistines had stopped them up after the death of Abraham. He called them by the names which his father had called them.”

v.19 “Also Isaac’s servants dug in the valley, and found a well of running water there.”

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

v. 21 “Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over that one also. So he called its name Sitnah.”

v. 22 “And he moved from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. So he called its name Rehoboth, because he said, “For now the Lord has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.”

v.23 “Then he went up from there to Beersheba.”

• Isaac didn’t give up after the first two wells were taken by the herdmen of Gerar at Esek and Sitnah.
• He kept digging until he found a well that brought fulfillment at Rehoboth meaning “FOR THE LORD HAD MADE ROOM FOR US AND WE SHALL BE FRUITFUL IN THE LAND”

Genesis 26 v 22

“And he moved from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. So he called its name Rehoboth, because he said, “For now the Lord has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.”

• Always celebrate God’s provisions and favour in your life.
• In all your achievement, announce Him as your enabler.

Isaiah 42 v 8

“I am the Lord, that is My name; And My glory I will not give to another,

Nor My praise to carved images.”

Romans 11 v 36

“For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.”

• God cannot share His glory with anyone.

6. WALK IN COVENANT WITH GOD TO GET TO YOUR REHOBOTH.

Psalm 105 v 8

“He remembers His covenant forever, The word which He commanded, for a thousand generations”

Psalm 74 v 20

“Have respect to the covenant; For the dark places of the earth are full of the haunts of cruelty.”

• The Covenant between you and God will distinguish you during famine and on your journey to your Rehoboth
• Covenant is a relationship of mutual trust and commitment.
• Trust God for God to trust you.
• Covenant involves surrender of life and your life’s resources.
