Life is a journey filled with valleys of despair and mountains of hope. For many, the search for a place of peace-a Rehoboth-becomes the essence of existence. This book explores the struggles, victories, and spiritual awakenings that lead to the long-awaited moment of rest. Inspired by the biblical story of Isaac digging wells in Genesis 26, Rehoboth symbolises triumph, faith, and divine providence.
Rehoboth is actually defined as ＂wide places or streets＂ by StrongLite Hebrew Dictionary. Following the story of Isaac, we know Rehoboth to be a place where you grow unhindered, unrestricted, where there is no more striving-a place where fruitfulness has no restrictions or opposition.
Genesis 26:22 NKJV
[22] And he moved from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. So he called its name Rehoboth, because he said, ＂For now the Lord has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.＂

I will explore the journey from famine to abundance and fruitfulness, how obedience and trust are far better tools of navigation between famine and fruitfulness than historical analytics, and the possibility of prosperity even in opposition.
Many times, going back to history does not always have to be ruminating on curses but also on rechecking on the wells of blessings, re-digging and refreshing them. There are some breakthroughs in your life that generate opposition. It is not due to carelessness but because the journey from famine to Rehoboth will definitely generate such. Some breakthroughs will generate contention and hostility. But that is not a sign that you should stop growing and claiming all the goodness God has in stock for you. It would be dangerous to stop growing because of contention and hostility. There are times when the best response to contention and hostility is to walk away progressing just like Isaac did.
When you are deliberately growing and intentionally discerning when to fight or when the real fight is to maintain focus, soon it would be your breakthrough, your Rehoboth.
There are kinds of Rehoboth breakthroughs in which your enemies come to you to make a covenant of peace with you because they already know you are more powerful than them. All these are not for stories; everything that was written aforetime was written for our admonition.
Lastly, we will explore the legacies of Rehoboth. It is not enough to make it to that point of breakthrough where you cannot be confronted nor attacked, but you must learn how to maintain that position and hand over the power and the principles of operating it.
Sometimes, it is more important to know how to maintain a position of breakthrough than to attain it.
