Abraham's blessings are Mine

Bible Text: Galatians 3:13-14

We have heard on so many occasions that Abraham's blessings are ours, but what does this really mean and how do we tap into this anointing to experience these same blessings upon our lives.

First and foremost we have to know the relationship between God and Abraham. Abraham was commanded to move from his country to a place God will show him. The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. (Genesis 12:1)

Abraham heeded to this command and God blessed Him as he had promised. “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you. (Genesis 12:2-3)  He had a close relationship with God.

These blessings upon Abraham were so much that it could not be contained.   But the land could not support them while they stayed together, for their possessions were so great that they were not able to stay together. (Genesis 13:6)

These same blessings are upon us through Jesus Christ. The redemption work of Christ on the cross has bought us sonship and we too have become candidates of Abraham's blessings promised to all his generation.  Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.”[a] 14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. (Galatians 3:13-14)

As Abraham lived a life blameless before God, heeding to the instructions of God, we too in Christ having been re-born as heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, through our obedience to God and faith in God will enjoy these blessings and many more.

 Abram had become very wealthy in livestock and in silver and gold.

(Genesis 13:2)

Prayer: Lord Jesus, I commit my life in your hands. Abraham's blessings are mine, I am blessed in the morning, blessed in the evening,blessed in all I do.

And unto Him who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we could ever ask or think, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever.

Amen!
