The Blessing of Release: From Shur to Beersheba



In verse 16:9, the angel of the Lord said, “Return to your mistress, and submit yourself to her authority.” The woman that just hurt your feelings, return to her and submit yourself to her authority. This is where most of us would have missed it. We would have continued on to Shur instead of turning around. Upon going back to her master and mistress, she has her child, Ishmael, and stays there for over fourteen years. Once Sarah, formerly known as Sarai, has her first child, Sarah feels that Hagar’s child will be a threat to hers so she admonishes her husband to send Hagar and her child away.

Woefully, Abraham sends Hagar and her child into the wilderness. I am sure that Hagar felt all kinds of emotions. She had come back to submit and ended up having to leave in the end. But, the second time Hagar goes into the wilderness, she and Ishmael end up in a place called Beersheba. Beersheba means the seven-fold oath or seven wells. In biblical numerology, the number seven denotes divine completion. So, Hagar and Ishmael, after they were released, encountered a place of divine completion of oaths (promises). There are some people who have been called to operate within ministry. The issue is some people have become Hagars and they have left their covering without proper release and have hit a wall in their gifting, anointing, ministry. Now, if they follow the pattern of the story and come back and submit; what happens is in due season they will be released back into the place where they returned from. But, this time when they go into the wilderness they will walk into a place of seven-fold blessing and not a wall.

If you are in a state where you are walking in rebellion; I urge you to go back and submit to your covering. It is a proven fact that success in ministry is tied up into submission and proper release. Your ministry will never see Beersheba lest Abraham (your father/mother) release you into that place. Stay on the path!

Wendy Williams is About To Be Seen Around the World on BET: Could She Be the New Queen of Daytime TV?


OK say what you want about daytime talk show host Wendy Williams, but she is about to be internationally known.  With Oprah leaving daytime and Tyra Banks gone.  Does Wendy Williams have what it takes to be the biggest name in daytime television?

BET has acquired the rights to air Wendy Williams’ hit talk show, ‘The Wendy Williams Show,’ on its international networks in the United Kingdom, Africa, and the Middle East. This July, the second season of the show will air in 54 countries.Barbara Zaneri, BET Networks’ executive vice president of program strategy, scheduling and acquisitions, said that the New York Times best-selling author has had good numbers for the basic cable network in the year that the network has been broadcasting her New York-based show.

“Wendy has been an important element in the network’s success this year, and we are thrilled to have her talk show back for a second season,” said Zaneri.

“We also believe Wendy’s universal appeal will translate to all corners of the world, making her a key player for BET’s international networks as well.”

The network’s Senior Vice President of BET International Michael D. Armstrong added, “Wendy has the uncanny ability to make both her guests and viewers feel like they’ve known her all their lives. In a classic Wendyism, BET International’s viewers will soon make Wendy a ‘friend in their head.'”

‘The Wendy Williams Show’ has also been renewed on stations covering more than 80 percent of the United States, including 20 of the top 20 and 39 of the top 40 markets. The talk show launched in national syndication on July 13, 2009, after a successful six-week preview in the summer of 2008. Soon thereafter, the New Jersey native quit her other day gig, being New York’s top daytime radio jock, to focus full time on ‘The Wendy Williams Show.’
