Welcome to this Our New Month of Beersheba, in Jesus name. Isaac did not stop at Rehoboth. Genesis 26:23 – “And he went up from thence to Beersheba” Beer means “well”, and sheba means “oath”. Beersheba, therefore, means the “well of oath”.
This is our month of the well of oath, covenant kept, promise fulfilled, rest, reconciliation & peace. The month that the enemies will come bowing at our feet.
King Abimelech, with an entourage, approached Isaac in Beersheba for mercy & reconciliation. They made two good confessions – “We have certainly seen that the Lord is with you”; “You are now the blessed of the Lord”
Isaac forgave them, made them a feast, and sent them on their way in peace, to complement Proverbs 16:7 that “When a man’s ways please the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him” It is the month that speaks of God’s faithfulness to His promises, covenants & oaths.
God renewed & kept His word with regards to Abraham & Isaac, as He will also do for us too, as the year ends, in Jesus Name. We are encouraged that whatever promises of God there are (“For all the promises of God in Him are yea, and in Him Amen, unto the glory of God by us” – 2nd Cor. 1:20), we draw from His “well of oath”, until all that God has said and promised shall be fulfilled in our lives, in a wonderful way this month of Beersheba, in Jesus mighty Name.
Amen.
