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

I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: (Genesis 12:2)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

In the book of Genesis, chapter 12, God instructs a man named Abram to do something that changed his life and the destiny of his descendants forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abram obeys God and leaves with his wife, Sarai, his nephew, Lot, their servants, hired hands, and all their possessions and livestock. He journeys through Egypt, and eventually settles in the land of Canaan.\u2026 God says to Abram, \u201cLift up now thine eyes, and look \u2026for all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth\u2026\u201d (Genesis 13:14\u201316).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genesis 12:1\u20133 is often referred to as \u201cThe Blessing of Abraham.\u201d God knew He had to separate Abraham from his father\u2019s house and from all that he previously trusted in. The Blessing only operates by faith, and faith demands that God be your only Source (Psalm 62:5). As one man of God said, \u201cEvery alternative (to God) will keep you stranded.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Dear Father, I pray that I may be faithful like Abraham to hear Your voice and follow Your direction no matter how things look in the natural. I receive by faith The Blessing of Abraham working in my life. In Jesus\u2019 Name. Amen.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
