He who finds Rebekah....

Abraham, a very wealthy man wanted to get a wife for his son Isaac (Gen 24:1), so he sent his oldest servant to go to his hometown to pick a wife; a perfect God arranged marriage. Rebekah was found at the well for our Isaac.

So let's discuss:

1. The rich man's servant took many camels, gold nose ring,bracelet e.t.c along with him, in spite of that, he still had to pray 'oh Lord, give me success to
find a wife for Isaac'(Gen 24:24)

Lesson: Don't be so concern about the wealth, a rich man without God and a godly heritage is a capital NO.

2. Rebekah came out with her fetcher on her shoulders at the time young ladies go to the well(Gen 24:15), she was very beautiful to behold, a virgin ready to fetch water.

Lesson: Be with your essential instrument most of the
 time, e.g. your bag, tissue papers, hand cream, charger (even a car charger), make-up e.t.c, because
you don't know who may need it so always be ready to meet the needs of others.

Lesson 2: If the bible could emphasise Rebekah's  virginity, that means it is important to be a virgin or a secondary virgin as the case may be.

Lesson 3: Avoid procrastination, it kills opportunities. I pray God help us all.

3. Still on Genesis 24, now verse 21, ' and the man watched her without saying a word, remained silent so as to know whether the Lord has made his journey
prosperous.

Lesson: Be careful, people are watching; they are always watching you like a cloud of witnesses(LOL).

4. Gen 24:22-53 ,so when the Camels had finished
drinking, he gave her gold nose rings and bracelets, and went to meet her father, then the bride price was
  paid at the introduction/ wedding ceremony.

Lesson1: Be happy to solve problems, help people, impact lives, be hospitable e.t.c. because God is the rewarder and he sees into the deepest heart of men.

Lesson 2: As far as the bride price is paid and you say ' I do', the wedding has taken place, every other celebration is a luxury.

5. Rebekah's family asked her, ' will you go with this man?' and she answered ' I will go', so they blessed
her and she left.

Lesson: If you say 'I DO' then do.

6. I like this part where Rebekah met Isaac, so romantic! (Gen 24:64-67), I actually can't think of a lesson from it. So I would to comment on the lessons that can be learnt from the love at first sight meeting
 of Isaac and Rebekah.
