HE IS WAITING AT THE WELL:

Download the Audio Sermon 

In the culture and customs of the Bible, young men who wished to marry would often go to the wells where young women were accustomed to coming and drawing water. It was a meeting place where young women went hoping to draw more than just water, and where many a bridegroom went to find his bride.

Abraham’s servant was sent to a well to find a wife for his master’s son Isaac. It was while coming to draw water from the well that Rebekah met Abraham’s servant. “Behold, I stand here by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water. … And it happened, before he had finished speaking, that behold, Rebekah, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, came out with her pitcher on her shoulder” (Genesis 24:13–16). 

The well speaks of Salvation. In Isa 12:3, it said, "Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation". The word SALVATION is from the Hebrew "Yeshua", which is the name for Jesus our Saviour. Men who are qualify to get good wives are those who STAND BY THE WELL OF YESHUA.

In Gen 24:11-12, the servant made the camels kneel down outside the city by the well of water at EVENING TIME, the time when women go out to draw water. We are now in the prophetic evening time. Everything is getting dark and only the LIGHT of Christ will illuminate our minds to discover our life partners at the well. Zechariah 14:7c-8a said, "….at evening time there will be light. 8 And in that day living waters will flow out of Jerusalem". There is a living water flowing out of Jerusalem, how many women are coming to the well and draw the water of Salvation? These are the type of women who are qualify to get good husbands.

Ladies, where are you searching for him? The good husband is a man who goes to Beerlahairoi to meditate in the evening time. He is not going to party or beer parlour, but to Beerlahairoi. The word Beerlahairoi means "The well of him (Yeshua) that sees me". He is waiting for the right woman at the well of Yeshua. He is like Isaac - Gen 24:62-65 - "Now Isaac had come from going to Beer-lahai-roi; for he was living in the Negev. 63 Isaac went out to meditate in the field toward evening; and he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, camels were coming. 64 Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac she dismounted from the camel. 65 She said to the servant, "Who is that man walking in the field to meet us?" And the servant said, "He is my master." Then she took her veil and covered herself". 

Isaac was not out of God’s presence, but he was meditating in the evening time while waiting for a wife. He was at the place of prayer, drawing water of revelation from the fountain of life.

Rebeccah was not at a party, sleeping with men or in the house of a boyfriend, but a decent lady, helping her parents and going to the well of Salvation in the evening time.

Ladies, where are you now in this evening time? Its getting dark and only through the light of Christ you can see the man of your dream.

It was also at a well that Jacob met Rachel. “‘Water the sheep and go feed them.’ But they said, ‘We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together, and they have rolled the stone from the well’s mouth; then we water the sheep.’ Now while he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she was a shepherdess” (Genesis 29:7–9). Moses, too, met his wife at a well when the daughters of Jethro came to water their flock at a well. “Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters. And they came and drew water … but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock. … and he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses” (Exodus 2:16–21). Rebekah, Rachel, and Zipporah, all met with good husbands; Isaac, Jacob, and Moses, as a result of coming to the wells for water.
