(Gen 26:23-29 KJV) And he went up from thence to Beersheba. 24. And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, I [am] the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I [am] with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham’s sake. 25. And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac’s servants digged a well. 26. Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army. 27. And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you? 28. And they said, We saw certainly that the LORD was with thee: and we said, Let there be now an oath betwixt us, [even] betwixt us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee; 29. That thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace: thou [art] now the blessed of the LORD.
Another major altar in the bible, is the one built by Isaac in Beersheba. In Gerar, Isaac became prosperous to the extent, that the Philistines became envious of his progress and prosperity. The Philistines thought the secret to Isaac’s prosperity, was the wells that he dug. They did not know it was the products of the altar raised in the land, by Abraham his father. They fought with him over every well, that he dug and claimed his wells, however, when he didn’t stop prospering, they chased him out of their community.
When Isaac got to Beersheba, the Lord appeared to him assuring him of His promises to bless and multiply his seed, for Abraham’s sake. Having learnt from his father, how to respond to divine encounter, he raised an altar to the Lord, who appeared to him. Shortly, the altar started speaking reconciliation, restoration, peace, and settlement. Abimelech the king of Philistines came, with the captain of his army, and one of his friends to Isaac not for fight, but for settlement. When the altar of settlement begins to speak in a man’s life, even his enemy can become his friend. What is working against a man can begin to work for him, when the altar of settlement is activated. Today, we are engaging the altar of settlement over the month of April, in favour of our lives and family members, in Jesus’ name.
