1. Rehoboth! In all of God's promises in the scriptures, He never promised that your journey here on earth would be smooth or trouble-free. At some point in your life, you might find yourself in a situation where it seems like there is so much hostility towards you.
2. How would you handle such situations as a Christian? Sometimes, God allows seemingly unpleasant situations to build your character & skills needed for where
you're headed.
3. Give favour expression by being at peace with all men this year just like Isaac did until he got to Rehoboth.
4. Confession: I choose to be at peace with all men. I choose to trust the process because His plans for me are good.
"Isaac's servants dug in the valley and
discovered a well of fresh water there.
5. But the herders of Gerar quarreled with those of Isaac and said, "The water is ours!” So he named the well Esek, because they disputed with him. Then they dug another well, but they quarreled over that one also; so he named it Sitnah.
6. He moved on from there and dug another well, and no one quarreled over it. He named it Rehoboth, saying, "Now the Lord has given us room and we will flourish in the land." - Genesis 26: 19 - 22 (NIV) #YETDevotional

1. Hello and welcome. It's episode 325 of your favourite relationship series #MrMrsBetterHalf. Mr and Mrs BetterHalf is designed to strengthen relationships and marriages with wisdom from God's word.
2. This week’s episode situation is: ‘I'm married, but in love with someone else. What should I do?’ #MrMrsBetterHalf
3. It is not clear whether your feelings are one-sided or are reciprocated. Regardless of the situation, you are at the very least in an emotional affair and in a dangerous place. Hopefully, you have not physically acted on those emotions. #MrMrsBetterHalf
1. Managing your season of not enough!
In the past year, you might have
experienced a lot of hardship and you may
have tagged it your "not enough” season.
Guess what? Even Jesus had His "not
enough” season.
2. Just as Jesus had need for food, you may need a job, spouse, money, etc., and the devil has no new tricks. He tempted Jesus to focus on his needs alone by commanding stone to become bread.
3. In managing your season of “not enough"; you need to walk the path that Jesus walked in - focus on God and His word. Are you desperate for God or a solution? Many people are too focused on the solution they are looking for to understand the One who gives the solution.
1. Living on God's terms.
God told Isaac in today's passage that it is
time for him to live according to God's
own terms. Of course, the human nature in
Isaac might have caused him to doubt a
bit, just like you and I.
2. However, Isaac chose to trust God completely and live on God's terms. Living on God's terms requires living in God's ordained location, doing God's work, etc.
3. Pondering on the story of Isaac, you will notice that location was very important to fulfilling God's ordained destiny for him. In these times, there is a tendency to become restless.
1. GOD'S GLORY
As God shakes heaven and the earth, the
shaking is to your favour as a believer in
Christ and will lead to your glory. "Glory”
implies the strong presence of God where
there is fullness of joy. It speaks to things
that make life easier.
2. This year, God's greater glory has been bestowed on you as Christ's chosen.
God's glory is coming upon His temple,
embodied in His people. His promise for
this season is beyond recovery or
restoration. He is making the glory of the
latter exceed the glory of the former.
3. God's plan is for you to increase both in
affluence and influence. As a child of God
gaining a higher level of influence, you can
influence more people into the kingdom of
God - just like yeast in a dough.
1. Who is your backer? As start-ups continue to grow across the
country and the world, people look for
signs of viability for such companies. For
many, the calibre of funders and backers
help to build public confidence in a small
and relatively unknown venture.
2. People believe in these start-ups, not because they have any particular experience with them, but because they trust the reputation of their backer.
3. In 2021, you will have to step out in faith
and do some things that you are ordinarily
not capable of on your own. Do you trust
God to help you even when you know you
cannot do it yourself? Do you have
confidence in His abilities?
1. You may have heard health professionals
recommend 10,000 steps each day to
maintain a healthy lifestyle. If you've ever
tracked your steps, your device may be
tracking your "walking asymmetry".
2. This function ascertains how healthy your walk pattern is by checking for signs like uneven steps, differences in foot speed
etc. These signs can point to evidence of
injury, disease or other health issues.
3. In the same vein, there are signs that can provide insight into the health of your walk with God. In 2021, determine to have a healthy covenant walk with God. A covenant walk is not something to be taken lightly; a covenant implies a contract or agreement.
