Where is your Rehoboth?
Isaac was in Gerar, a Philistine town.
Genesis 26 "Now there was a famine in the land—besides the previous famine in Abraham’s time—and Isaac went to Abimelek king of the Philistines in Gerar. 2 The Lord appeared to Isaac and said, “Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land where I tell you to live. 3 Stay in this land for a while, and I will be with you and will bless you. For to you and your descendants I will give all these lands and will confirm the oath I swore to your father Abraham. 4 I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and will give them all these lands, and through your offspring[a] all nations on earth will be blessed,[b] 5 because Abraham obeyed meand did everything I required of him, keeping my commands, my decrees and my instructions.” 6 So Isaac stayed in Gerar."
But if you read on, Isaac suffered many hardships thereafter. The wells he had dug up were disputed, so he moved on and dug other wells. Maybe your business had been taken or stolen away from you, but take heart as don't let the enemy bury your destiny as God's best can't be taken away from you.
Verse 22 He moved on from there and dug another well, and no one quarreled over it. He named it Rehoboth,[e] saying, “Now the Lord has given us room and we will flourish in the land.”
Where is your Rehoboth? Maybe you are already in your Rehoboth. Rehoboth may be a country like China in my case, but it can also be a different direction in your business or career. Ask God where is your Rehoboth.
Verse 12 Isaac planted crops in that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold, because the Lordblessed him. 13 The man became rich, and his wealth continued to grow until he became very wealthy.
Once God moves in our lives, nations will feed of us. Nations' ministry work will be funded by such end-time Isaacs.
