SCRIPTURE:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll make you a great nation and bless you. I\u2019ll make you famous; you\u2019ll be a blessing. I\u2019ll bless those who bless you; those who curse you I\u2019ll curse. All the families of the Earth will be blessed through you.\u201d\u00a0(Genesis 12:2 MSG)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DEVOTIONAL:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the beginning everything God made was good, including His man Adam, who was created in the image of God. Then, what happened to change all that? You know the story\u2026Adam sinned and because he sinned, death passed to all men. The curse that resulted was passed to all humanity. It was loosed into the earth! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though disobedience brought an end to the unlimited blessings and communication with their Creator for Adam and his wife Eve in the Garden of Eden, God isn\u2019t through blessing His beloved creation. A man named Abram (Abraham) enters the scene. Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father\u2019s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:and I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Genesis 12:1\u20133<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God is saying, \u201cI want you to come out from your dependence on this world system and its economy and its way of doing things. Come on out of there.\u201d That\u2019s Abram\u2019s part. \u201cand I will make of thee a great nation. And I will bless you. And make your name great.\u201d Whose part is that? It\u2019s God\u2019s part!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd thou shall be a blessing.\u201d So, you and I have two parts in this mandate from God: to come out of the world system and to be a blessing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PRAYER:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear God, I praise You, Father. Thank you for The Blessing You have placed on me and on my household. I place my trust and dependence on You and not this world\u2019s system. In Jesus\u2019 Name, Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
