Beerlahairoi


 


If you are a consistent reader of my writings, you will know that I have always advocated for gaining knowledge for the right reasons. When you hear something that sounds new or spooky, the right response is to find out what it means and what the LORD will have you do about the new knowledge. Bible confirms it that grace is multiplied by knowledge. SO we must always seek to expand our knowledge of God, not for the lust of high sounding words, but for the embodiment of the entire lamb.

Beerlahairoi is the name of a well in the book of Genesis. Hagar had just been pushed to have sex with Abraham by her boss, Sarah. She become proud of her new position and this didn’t go so well with Sarah. Sarah could not take the fact that she now had to share Abraham with her slave, who had even become pregnant. The battle was a simple one. She made the house unbearable for the Egyptian slave; she ran away.

On her way, she met an Angel by a well. The Angel queried her about her journey, scolded her and ask her to return to Sarah. The name of the well is Beerlahairoi which means the well of the Living One who sees me. The person who dug the well was not mentioned, but whoever named that well certainly had an encounter. Hagar did not build the well, she found it!

A well in the scriptures is used to represent an abundant measure of God situated in a place or person. Jesus, in John 7, shouted that for everyone who believes, out of him shall flow rivers. Isaiah spoke of the dimensions of God within him as wells (Isa 12:3). As it were, we all carry a well of God in us which can increase in measure to become a river. The well of God is us is dug by God Himself as He takes us on the journey into Himself. Taking a cue from Isaiah, we know that I is possible to have wells within a man which means that you have several dimensions of God within you.

Also, just like Hagar found a well, there are wells around us that have been dug in men of old. We often refer to them as mantles. When a person goes to be with the LORD, his mantle is still available to be picked up. It can also be put as the wells of God in him can still be found. Just like the Jews and Samarians held on to the well dug by Jacob, we can also find wells around us, dug by the LORD.

There is another interesting story about wells in the book of Numbers where the Israelites got to a well where God had told Moses to gather the people so He could give them water. The Israelites sang of the well- ‘spring up, oh well’. This is significant as it shows that we can use music to stir up wells. The Psalmist in Ps 87:7- ‘Both the singers and the players on instruments say all my springs are in you’.

This article is aimed at explaining the type and shadow that a well poses in the bible and to introduce you to a series that the LORD would have me do about the wells available in Nigeria. Some of these wells have been ‘lost in the wilderness’ and we need priests to sing to make them spring up again so that we can partake of these wells of God.

Prophetic Perspective: Israel vs Iran

The middle east situation between Israel and Palestine is a very complex one that can be viewed from many sides. Whichever perspective you choose, there will always be an unresolved issue. It is exactly a year that Hamas, a terrorist group in Palestine, dealt the biggest blow ever to the Israeli state, killing over 1000 Jews and abducting about 251. It sent a shock wave round the world. The October 7, 2023 attacks kick-started a war that has escalated to involve Lebanon, Syria, Qatar and Iran. Israel has gone all out attacking Palestine in a wave that many world leaders have been cautioning them to consider the civilians. ORIGIN OF THE WAR The origin of the war in the middle east can be traced back to the 1920s when Britain, in conjunction with the Arabs defeated the Ottoman military in Jerusalem and took the city as a colony of the British royalty.  It wasn't long before the British decided to release the land to the Arabs that fought alongside them. But, there was another set of ...

Nigeria In The Bible

As we approach another celebration of the independence of the nation Nigeria, I will like us to know some things about this nation that the LORD has shown me. If a man wants to know the details of God's will for his life, he would need to read the things that have been written or said about him by God. Prophecy is one of the ways that the will of God can be known. Prophecy is voicing God's will. This same principle applies to territories as territories also have a will established by God for them to fulfill. In the scriptures, we see details of many nations that existed in that time. Nations like Israel, Egypt, Syria, Edom, Philistine, Babylon and in the new testament, we saw countries like Italy and Spain which still exists till today. Most of the nations that were mentioned in the old testament bear a new name today. There were some nations mentioned in the old testament, but their names were not specified. God, through the prophets spoke about the destiny of some na...

EndSARS: Prophetic Intelligence

  Some moments ago, the LORD reminded me of the things He shared with me during the protests. As usual, when I hear of an event in Nigeria or on the global scene, I would go to God for prophetic intelligence. I have always shared how that prophetic (spiritual) intelligence is the highest form of reality. When we seek God's counsel about an issue in our life, family or work, we are seeking prophetic intelligence. If we seek it for different issues in our life, how much more would it be of greater premium when we seek it for happenings in our nation. The ENdSARS protests started without any prior notice. There was no signal to it in the physical and it gathered momentum within days so much that many were surprised that Nigerians could stand up for their right. As the protests were going on, I went to God to find out His thoughts about the protests. In following God in the last days, many have missed the trail because they arrange things based on the knowledge of good and evil. We...
