Beloved, the contentions are meant to strengthen you

I. My Beloved Sisters and Dear Brothers, this month I encourage you not to be discouraged because of the contention, for it shall be over soon. According to the will of our Heavenly Father, the contention shall be over, and the struggle shall also be over, for the Lord shall make room for you. Remember that it came to pass that the servants of Isaac dug wells, but the herders of Gerar quarrelled with them, claiming ownership, saying, "The water is ours," so Isaac named that well Esek, 'contention or strife', because they disputed with him. Beloved, the contention is a normal human activity that emanates from jealousy and greed, but don’t be discouraged. Sometimes just allow them to have what they are fighting you for, and the Lord shall reward you. Isaac did not fight or struggle with them for the first well but moved on to dig another well. Don't give up because of the contention; Isaac never gave up; his servants dug another well; again, they quarrelled over that one, so Isaac named it Sitnah, meaning opposition or accusations.

II. Son of Man, don't give up even when you have moved on; they followed you to fight again for what you have; their intention is to stop you. Beloved, know for sure that whatever good venture you undertake, men will strive with you; men will oppose you and accuse you wrongly. Isaac again moved on from the second well. He gave it to them. Learn when to let go and when to fight in the Lord. Some contentions are simply distractions and obstructions; don’t fall for them. Accept that it's normal for some men to speak ill of you at your office, at church, within the family, within that organisation and within the community because of your dreams, your plans, your hard work, your wealth of knowledge, and your progressive mind. Their act is to put impediments in your way, so if you give up, they will rejoice; therefore, move on. Once you have the strength and enabling power from above, PICK UP THE SHOVEL AND DIG ANOTHER WELL. It’s never too late to start any venture. The LORD whom you serve day and night will intervene, and no one will quarrel over it.

III. Precious in the Lord, the LORD WILL SILENCE YOUR ACCUSERS. You will come to your Rehoboth, where they will give up. The Lord has a timeline for evildoers, and very soon they will hit the end of the road. "NOW THE LORD HAS GIVEN YOU ROOM, AND YOU WILL FLOURISH IN THE LAND." Why are you in despair because of the contention? Have you forgotten your God, who has brought you this far? Why are you in a state of agitation and restlessness because of the struggles? And why is your spirit disturbed within you? Today Jesus Christ is asking you, "Why are you afraid? Have you forgotten you serve as a living God? How is it that ye have no faith? Why are you walking as if you have no one to help you? Why have you accepted the negative report that you are not able to? Why are you doubting the power of God?

IV. BRETHREN IN CHRIST, come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will declare what He has done for my soul. I cried to Him with my mouth, and He was extolled with my tongue. If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear. But certainly, God has heard me; He has attended to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer or His mercy from me! Therefore, I will be strong and courageous. I will not be terrified or discouraged, for the Lord my God will be with me wherever I go. THIS Month WHEREVER YOU GO, GOD SHALL BE WITH YOU. DON’T BE AFRAID ANYMORE. This is a DIVINE WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT AND FOOD FOR THE SOUL sent forth through the authority and power of Christ Jesus to serve the brethren through God's Vessel Francis Ameyibor, Yes! Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

V. 2025 MY YEAR FOR MY STAR TO RISE FOR THE WORLD TO NOTICE— My God shall supply all my needs; therefore, I will not be in need.

PRAYER: LORD, as I wait on thee, let me not be late in any way in this journey. LORD, as I look up to thee, let me not be ashamed. And LORD, give thy servant landmark TESTIMONIES that men will know that you are GOD. Through Jesus Christ's name, I pray AMEN.
